@ Dashing Through the Snow Willow and Coffee have been given a free map to help them enjoy their Winter Tour! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Ski & Skate Today's trip is on a modern train with spacious seats and large windows to enjoy the passing winter scenery. The train's first stop by a frozen lake allows the pets the opportunity to stretch their legs with a little skating! Let's hope there are no frozen paws from this adventure! The trip then proceeds to skiing grounds with steep snowy slopes, cable cars, chair lifts and an Olympic ski jump! The pets can also turn their paws to snowboarding if they wish. The pets will meet a cute little critter also trying to ski. Back on board the train at the end of an action-packed day, the pets will have the thrill of seeing the Northern Lights as they travel home in the setting sun to that night's lodging. There they will enjoy a warming milky coffee and a bowl of hot soup by the wood-burning stove in the dining room, while admiring the snowy scene outside. Dashing Through the Snow While an aeroplane might get you to your final destination more quickly and efficiently, nothing can surpass the romance and sightseeing opportunities of a journey by train. Just try to make sure you get a window seat to capture the breath-taking views of snowy peaks!

Willow visits Ski & Skate!
Episode 2/27
@ McCabe's Forest Rail Track "It's turned a bit cold, Willow, I'm going to put my beanie hat on," said Jaydee. "Good scheme! I'll dig my scarf out as well," said Willow. McCabe's Forest Rail Track Cold, bracing snowy weather is grand in theory. However, if your paws start to go numb and the chill creeps its way through your fur, it can start to lose its attraction. The answer is a train journey, where you can look out across sweeping white vistas or forests of trees lightly trimmed with snow, without having to get your scarf on!
While wandering in Winter, you met Jaydee.
Willow shook paws with Jaydee the Green Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Like a Bridge over Frozen Water “What's a typical après-ski meal?" asked Willow. "Icebergers!" declared Twinkle. Like a Bridge over Frozen Water Will your pet cross this ornate bridge or skate over the frozen river to the other bank? The bridge is set against a backdrop of bare trees, grey sky and far-distant mountains with a foreground of snowdrifts.
While wandering in Winter, you met Twinkle.
Willow shook paws with Twinkle the Elf Baby. They both received one silver mole!
@ Frozen Lake Rink "This is fabulous, Krazy Kitten," enthused Willow. "I'll have this photo printed and framed and display it next to my plush reindeer that I got in the little gift shop near Snow Beach and the mother of pearl model of the Taj Mahal from Icon!" "You'll have a fine collection of mementos, Willow!" said Krazy Kitten. Frozen Lake Rink Nowadays rinks of artificial ice are commonplace in all countries. In former times skating could only be enjoyed when the weather was cold enough to freeze a lake or river to thick ice, allowing skaters to enjoy a game of curling or ice hockey or just enjoy pirouetting on the chilly, frozen surface!
While wandering in Winter, you met Krazy Kitten.
Willow shook paws with Krazy Kitten the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Waiting for Skating “A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, Willow?” Theo said. “It certainly would, Theo!" said Willow. Waiting for Skating Get your skates on! Whether you enjoy figure skating and the performance of spins, jumps and dance movements, speed skating or even ice hockey, proper skates are essential!
While wandering in Winter, you met Theo.
Willow shook paws with Theo the Elf Baby. They both received one silver mole!
@ Train Pane “Pass me the binoculars, Willow!” said Sugar Candy. "I think that's a Canada goose just taking off over there!" Train Pane One benefit of travelling by train as opposed to by car is the fun of being able to relax in one's seat and watch the passing towns and countryside.
While wandering in Winter, you met Sugar Candy.
Willow shook paws with Sugar Candy the Spirit Bear. They both received one silver mole!
@ Steep Alpine Sweep Twink was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Willow unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Twink’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” said Twink, exasperated. “We’re about to pose beside this amazing scene—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up PDQ!” Steep Alpine Sweep Being in the mountains has a huge benefit on both our physical and mental health. Skiers will talk about the adrenalin rush of the slopes but also the pleasure gained from being in nature and having social interaction. Beyond the physical benefits, exposure to the natural surroundings of the mountains during exercise appears to provide an additional boost to our psychological well-being and aids in recovering from stress.
While wandering in Winter, you met Twink.
Willow shook paws with Twink the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowboard Colour Splash “It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Tiger?” said Willow."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books." Tiger shivered. “Brrrrrrrr! I think it would be a little too cold, Willow! I like my creature comforts!" Snowboard Colour Splash What can beat the pure thrill of snowy mountains in winter? Snowboarding through awesome mountains evokes a myriad of emotions, which are at a natural high at altitude – who better to share it all with than one’s fellow pets?
While wandering in Winter, you met Tiger.
Willow shook paws with Tiger the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
@ Ski Row “What do you get when you cross a skier and a vampire?" asked Willow. "I don't know; what?" replied Tinker. "Frostbite!" Ski Row After a tiring but exhilarating day on the slopes, it's time to doff our skis and enjoy the après ski evening, where we will cosily plot our next ski adventure! What plans we make! It's not necessary to have a lively party; a quiet hot milky coffee with two or three friends after a day's fun on the slopes gives us the chance to bond and get ready for the morrow's pleasures.
While wandering in Winter, you met Tinker.
Willow shook paws with Tinker the Afghan Hound. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snow Drift Ski Lift "Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Willow," said Choose a name, "for this experience alone?" Willow, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed! Snow Drift Ski Lift Skiing enthusiasts love it all, from the crisp, fresh bite of the air on arrival at the resort, the contrasting warmth of chalets; the icicles hanging from roofs; twinkling fairylights in the streets and the bursts of convivial laughter and applause from restaurants and bars where pets enjoy themselves after a day on the slopes!
While wandering in Winter, you met Choose a name.
Willow shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
@ Skiing Adventure Starts Willow and Miss Mousse shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Willow. “Let’s change sides.” “No,” said Miss Mousse. “This is my best side.” Skiing Adventure Starts You and your fellow pets may prefer to mostly ski together, but perhaps sometimes the more advanced skiers will tackle a challenging route down the mountain and you then meet at the bottom of the slope. A shared love and appreciation for snow makes for the perfect, spectacular and memorable holiday on the slopes.
While wandering in Winter, you met Miss Mousse.
Willow shook paws with Miss Mousse the House Mouse. They both received one silver mole!
@ Stunning Snow Slope "Do you think we'll see a polar bear like we did on Snow Beach that time, Lady?" asked Willow. "Oh gosh, Willow, do you remember those horrible jellyfish in the water there? I can't stand them!" responded Lady. Stunning Snow Slope What does skiing mean for you? Is it rising with the sun; having the exhilarating crisp mountain air hitting your face, making a unique wake-up call! Let's not forget the huge sense of freedom as your skis cut through freshly fallen powder, merrily zigzagging down the slopes whooping, laughing and joking, then sitting on a peaceful ski lift putting the world to rights against the stunning backdrop of Alpine views.
While wandering in Winter, you met Lady.
Willow shook paws with Lady the Afghan Hound. They both received one silver mole!
@ Surpassing Slope “What's a typical après-ski meal?" asked Willow. "Icebergers!" declared Heleena. Surpassing Slope Don't these pristine, pure white slopes make you want to don ski suits and boots and glide down breathing in cold, fresh air? And while doing so, wondering, "What is that strange human figure on yon mountainside?"
While wandering in Winter, you met Heleena.
Willow shook paws with Heleena the Fox’Maid (Ariilina) . They both received one silver mole!
@ Heart Thumpin' Ski Jumpin' Willow opened her rucksack to find her hat.

Heart Thumpin' Ski Jumpin' You have to admire the engineering that's gone into this high ski jump. Is your pet brave enough to start at the very, very top and whoosh swiftly downwards?
While wandering in Winter, you met Tornado.

@ Winter Skiing Holiday "It's turned a bit cold, Willow, I'm going to put my beanie hat on," said Bright Eyes. "Good scheme! I'll dig my scarf out as well," said Willow.

Roaming Gnome If you keep a careful lookout this winter you might spot this endearing gnome in his jaunty red and white cap, navigating on small wooden skis with a ski pole clutched in each hand!
While wandering in Winter, you met Esmerelda.
Willow shook paws with Esmerelda the Chocolate Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
@ Ski Spree “It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Nibbles?” said Willow."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books." Nibbles shivered. “Brrrrrrrr! I think it would be a little too cold, Willow! I like my creature comforts!" Ski Spree What a thrill to race downhill, your momentum increasing as you go, and the only sounds in the clean, bracing mountain air being the swish of your skis on the crisp, pure white snow and the flurry of ice spray flung behind as you speed along.
While wandering in Winter, you met Nibbles.
Willow shook paws with Nibbles the Brown Rustic Rabbit. They both received one silver mole!
@ Aurora Borealis in Snow Scene “Hey, have you seen what the next stop is, Willow?” said Barnaby. "It looks fantastic!" "I'll get my camera ready," said Willow.

These changing light patterns have fascinated and inspired for centuries. These swirling patterns of turquoise, with the bright moon in the background and the snowy landscape in the foreground make this an amazing picture.
While wandering in Winter, you met Barnaby.
Willow shook paws with Barnaby the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!

What lies beyond that tantalising bend round the corner? Sit back and enjoy the scenery as the sun tinges the treetops with golden light.
While wandering in Winter, you met Joonie.
Willow shook paws with Joonie the Black Panther. They both received one silver mole!
@ Coffee with Steamed Milk Flower “Pass me the binoculars, Willow!” said Morri. "I think that's a Canada goose just taking off over there!" Coffee with Steamed Milk Flower It adds to the fun of going to your town's coffee shop: when your barista puts in front of you a hot, freshly made, foam-topped cappuccino, complete with beautiful artwork! What magic! A beautiful steamed-milk decoration looks like it must be very difficult to do, but once you get the knack, it really doesn't take very long to do at all! So make that drink look extra-special!
While wandering in Winter, you met Morri.
Willow shook paws with Morri the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!

@ Serene Piano Room “I thought last night's house was amazing, Sheba," said Willow. "Yes, it was spacious yet so cosy at the same time, Willow!" replied Sheba. "I loved the fire. It was so hyggelig!" Serene Piano Room If you incline towards a clean, minimalist look, then white walls are the perfect base. The hallmark of this peaceful and uncluttered look is lots of white—particularly on the walls—with touches of muted brown, blue and cream on the elaborate rug also have a calming influence, while the view to the garden outside and the piano add a serene touch.
While wandering in Winter, you met Sheba.
Willow shook paws with Sheba the Silver Fox. They both received one silver mole!
