1. Build a bonfire in the snow—with parental supervision!—and roast marshmallows

 

2. Brew up some spicy Mexican hot chocolate

 

3. Grab your buds and hit the ice

5. Grab your beach toys and make a snow castle

 

6. Take an inner tube to the top of the nearest hill

10. Get in the kitchen and bake brownies for your neighbors. Then offer to shovel their driveways.

 

11. Fall backward into a big snow drift and make a gorge snow angel

 

12. Have a snowman-building contest with your best buds. Who can stack their balls the fastest? The highest? Best decorator?
