新浪尚品

　　冬季旅行，除了滑雪之外，我们有太多的事儿可以做。冬季非传统的户外活动在世界各地层出不穷。寒假就要来了，我们为你奉上人们推崇备至的十大非同寻常的户外运动，让你不走寻常路，过足冒险瘾。

　　1.韩国 参加北极熊游泳大会

　　自1988年以来，每年的一月份，在韩国釜山的海运台海水浴场都要举行一年一度的北极熊游泳大会。在沙滩上加速跑10米，然后纵身跃入朝鲜海峡冰冷的海水中，向着终点线游80米。只穿着比基尼或游泳短裤的人们用他们自己的方式祈祷新的一年的健康与幸福。与其说这是一项游泳比赛，不如说这是一项传播乐趣的运动。

　　2.科罗拉多 雪地自行车

　　如果在雪地里骑自行车很费劲的话，到科罗拉多的落基山脉上享受一下装备了滑雪板的雪地自行车吧！杜兰戈山地度假区的雪地自行车作为其推荐的滑雪项目之一，每年都会开展一次国际雪地自行车节，游客们可以参加比赛或者观赏。但是，在你第一次踏上那个高高的斜坡之前，最好还是好好的学习一下这项非传统户外运动的技巧，它并没有你从视频网站上看到的那样容易。

　　3.芬兰 冰上漂移之疯狂卡丁车

　　还有比在冰上进行卡丁车漂移更有趣的吗？在芬兰的库萨莫，给狂飙的驾驶者一个机会，让他们在结冰的湖面上释放激情吧！约上好友，或者和陌生人比赛，也许你有机会在卢克大冒险中得奖呢！赛后来一杯咖啡，或者一杯茶，一份糖果，享受惬意吧！

狗拉雪橇

　　4.阿拉斯加 乘坐狗拉雪橇

　　狗拉雪橇是风靡于阿拉斯加的一项运动。一群爱斯基摩犬用雪橇拉着你加速前进或者度过一小段长途的旅行，只要你想，这种待遇可以随时享受。位于塔纳纳河的Alaska Best Wilderness可以为您提供包括狗拉雪橇、徒步旅行和漂流在内长达11天的探险活动。如果你只是想用一个下午的时间和这群可爱的小家伙呆在一起，费尔班克斯的SunDog Express可以为您提供短途的导游服务。

　　5.明尼苏达州 拖拽式滑雪

　　想和你的可爱狗狗一起来个雪地大冒险的话，可以去明尼苏达州体验下雪地里的拖拽式滑雪——由各自的狗狗拉着雪橇进行滑雪。The Midwest Skijorers每年都会在明尼苏达州的双子城附近举行这一活动。

　　6.加拿大 滑雪圈

　　爱雪却不爱用雪橇或滑雪板的朋友们也许会爱上滑雪圈。用滑雪圈滑雪不仅经济实惠，而且简单易行，并且也会非常有趣。叫上朋友或者家人，去加拿大安大略省的Rock Ridge 娱乐公园，从雪地的斜坡上顺势而下，尽情享受冰雪带来的乐趣吧！

　　7.智利 攀冰

　　在智利首都圣地亚哥的Cajón del Maipo附近，你绝对能找到真正让你感到刺激而快乐的地方。令人惊叹的ElMorado Glacier已经为同样壮观而惊险的攀冰旅行做好了准备。向Cerro El Morado的西南方挺进吧，在那里，冒险家的冒险天堂之攀爬冰川在等你！

　　8.波兰 冰上风帆

　　寒冬时节在全部结冰的波兰大马祖里湖的湖面上玩冰上风帆的运动，感受寒风强劲的推力，让你无法减速，这个运动会让你感受到什么才叫做“一帆风顺”。冰上滑行船有可能以极高的速度滑行，所以，在你尝试之前，最好要练好冰上航行的基本功。

雪地风筝

　　9.犹他州 雪地风筝

　　对于雪地风筝的爱好者来说，除了需要一块滑雪板之外，还要有一个大风筝以及对激情的强烈欲望。沿着斜坡滑行，跟随风筝，风儿把你送上高空。为了安全起见，初学者最好先学习下雪地风筝的安全技能。

　　10.格陵兰岛 冰钓

　　格陵兰Shark Challenge是个冰钓的好地方：凿冰挖洞，捕捉格陵兰岛最大的鱼——格陵兰大鲨鱼。这些鲨鱼有的能大到21英尺长，2200英镑重。所以来这儿冰钓绝对让你不虚此行。格陵兰岛的伍玛纳克风光秀丽，冰山掩映，来这儿体验一周左右的冰钓式旅行，还能跟当地的渔民学习钓鱼术呢！(李秀雯/译)
