WinterOutdoors '14-15

The first unofficial days of spring have Marched in, but before we turn things over to Heat Miser, let's take a look back at the season of his half-brother, WinterOutdoors '14-15. It was string winter outdoor season. It's started mild, but ended with plenty of ice, snow and cold. It was a season of contrast, like I said there were spring like conditions and winter snow. Also, there were mountains and sandy beaches, all-in-all it was a nice season.
