It is hard for winter to be associated with sports, especially since many athletes use this season to rest and recharge. However, there are some exotic sports around the world that are played only during this white season. As winter sports grew more popular with time and athletes trained hard to stay fit and healthy during this season, it eventually led to the creation of the Winter Olympics.
While most winter sports are usually played outside in the snow, some of these sports like Ice Hockey, Speed Skating and Bandy can be brought indoors when the sun emerges and melts the icy snow outside. These sports, which started off as a fun seeking activity during winters, have now come to stay and even built careers for many aspiring Winter Olympians.
Here are a few sports you can try out these winters, that will not only keep you in good shape but also occupied and healthy during the cold wintry days.
Fat biking & Ice Boating
The Alaskans use bikes with large forks and huge nubby tyres to commute to and from work in the snow! 
Since skiing requires immense amount of training and is difficult, most people prefer fat biking. It has now developed as a recreational activity in Minneapolis and Jackson Hole. Since the lakes stay frozen around the year, Alaskans have grown famous for ice boating, where boats fitted with runners cut through the frozen Lakes of Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire and Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota.
Biathlon
What could get more exciting than shooting guns? – Shooting off while skiing, that is! Every winter Olympics, cross country skiing is clubbed with shooting guns. This sport is popularly known as Biathlon, consists of a ski route broken up into multiple shooting rounds. Go ahead this winter, to your local Biathlon Association and learn how to relax and shoot, all in the midst of skiing!
Skate skiing
A mellow jaunt on skis is relaxing and uplifting as an experience, but skate skiing on the other hand, combines leisure with a full toned workout! 
Transferring weight from one ski to the other calls for balance, skill and a serious cardio stamina! Most of the hilly regions that clear out their trails for classic skiing each winter also leave a trail or two out for Skate Ski Practice!
Snow-kiting
If you are missing kite-boarding and can’t wait for summers to come around again, think again! Snow-kiting offers the perfect alternative to kite-boarding! This sport allows the player to glide over ice using wind power and a kite, not very different from kite-boarding isn’t it? Around Greenland, snow-kiting is used for transportation too!
With all these exciting winter sports, what are we waiting for? Let’s plan to try out one of these sports the next holiday we get, and wish those dreary white winters away!
