Grand Teton National Park is not just a winter wonderland; it’s a Winter Health Spa. Picture sparkling, blinding, white slopes and a sky bluer than anything you have ever seen in any city. The contrast takes your breath away and leaves you wanting more. You begin to rejuvenate. To cross-country ski through pristine forests to a snow-surrounded stream, dotted with snow-covered rocks, gives you a feeling that this place has been disturbed by neither man nor Mother Nature for eons. You feel your heart lifting. As you snowshoe across a field, to surprise a moose just stepping out to graze, you think you and he are the only creatures on the earth. Rabbit tracks in the snow remind you otherwise. Deep in your soul, you connect with the Earth.
When solitude and tranquility have healed you, join friends and family downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and sledding. Perhaps someone has even arranged a horse-drawn sleigh ride. If it starts to snow or blow, find your way into a rustic mountain lodge, build a fire, make some hot chocolate, and make some friendships that will last forever. Life’s worries no longer exist. You rediscover what a real social network is. You leave refreshed. You’re ready to change the world.
