In short, peace and quiet. I really can't describe how sublime the quiet of a winter forest is.

Also, this may or may not be appealing to you, but I find it to be a humbling experience. Being alone in an empty winter forest really makes one feel insignificant. Not in the bad way of making one feel worthless, but instead in the way that makes your worries and aspirations seem trivial. I think it's a nice respite from the myriad concerns of daily life.



Nothing beats crunching snow on an early morning or late evening hike. NOTHING.
