The first edition of GoMN’s Winter Guide is an accumulation of ideas for the season that we bet will stick. 

The common thread is taking cold-weather habits formed long ago and handed down, and enhancing – or full-on disrupting – them. In spite of what our bodies tell us, impulse online shopping and binge-watching won’t abate the holiday blues. These pieces are your couch coma cure, and offer concrete ways for Minnesotans to live, indulge, and give to their full potential. Check back right here for more stories throughout the season.

The printed version of our Winter Guide is available as a PDF below (select full screen), and will be distributed at Go Snow Show '17 at Myth on December 3.
