WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON

"Winter Play" We look at some whacky winter sports, like snow kiting and skijoring, where a skier gets help from a dog. There's also the Polar Bear plunge, where seemingly sane individuals throw themselves into freezing water on New Year’s day. Further north, some folks pit their 4x4 machines against the challenges of driving in the back country; while others slide a 42 pound stone down a sheet of ice. It’s called curling, and it’s not as easy as it looks!
