Snow
Mom always loved the snow. Whenever someone would ask her what her favorite season was, she would be torn between summer and winter; summer because of the nice weather, and winter because of skiing, sledding, and Christmas/Chanukah.
Mom also loved to go skiing. Every since we can remember, Mom was taking us skiing during winter vacation. And we never went to some low-quality ski place- we always went to a nice place with many lifts and slopes. Mom was teaching Soren and I how to ski from the moment there were boots small enough for our feet.
