one way i have found is to start cleaning routes or projects for the comming season. and hey with this elnino thing spring should be here in like a month tops.
other than that find a dry place or the gym, or ice, or ski/snowboarding, mountainiering, i duno just have fun the winter has lots of things one can do.

Vertical caving helps wisk the blues away. Its always in the 50's in a cave, no snow or freezing weather. Also climbing on my little wall in the house helps.

This winter in CO has been really mild. Yesterday for example, it got up to almost 70 degrees so I can still climb here. But when the snow flies, I LOVE taking my sons sledding, winter mountaineering, going to warmer climates to climb, hitting the gym, snowshoeing, dance classes, hiking, traveling and aerobics. I guess the cold weather forces me to focus on other activities that I do less in the summer because I have tunnel vision when it comes to climbing.

Be Strong
We just finished a climb in Alabama where the temperature got to 10 degrees at night. (We slept in tents) If you want the whole outdoor experience, go yearround. Climbing is all about challenges, the cold is just another obsticl to tell your friends about.

OMG.
I can't wait to go climbing today.
The State Park is so empty when it gets down into the 50s here. I guess some people just don't like the cold...
