Snowshoeing
A snowshoe is footwear for walking over the snow. The simplicity of practicing this sport makes it the easiest of all winter sports, because if you can walk, you can snowshoe.

Winter swimming is the act of entering water that has formed a frozen top layer or water that is around 0°C. When winter swimming in outdoor waterways, it is usually necessary to make a hole in the ice.
