✍️ A Personal NoteThere is something special about winter sports that goes beyond competition.Perhaps it is the atmosphere of snow-covered mountains, frozen lakes, ski resorts, cold-weather traditions, and the excitement of watching athletes compete under extreme conditions.Over the years, while guiding travelers across North America and visiting winter mountain destinations, I saw how strongly people connect with skiing, skating, hockey, and the traditions surrounding winter sports.Even people who never step onto skis often enjoy the atmosphere, the scenery, and the shared excitement that winter sports create.Some of those impressions and experiences inspired many of the questions in this quiz.— Nicco Schaal
