Snowshoeing.

It is accessible to anyone. It is a great way to introduce people to winter. It can be fun. It is something I used to do a lot of.

Then I discovered (and became decent at) ski touring. I no longer enjoy snowshoeing as much. Find it a bit clunky, not as elegant and just not as fun. And it is something I try to avoid.
