1. Curling: We all love shuffleboard. Add ice and you get the coolest sport you’ve never tried. We don’t even care if we get stuck with the brooms. Sign us up.

2. Bobsledding: Its popularity has declined since “Cool Runnings,” but bobsledding is a great way to enjoy the winter if you have three friends, bobsled, access to a course and really, really good health insurance.

3. Ski jumping: We’re not going to lie — it’s fun to watch skiers crash and burn when they botch their landing after flying hundreds of feet through the air. Yeah, we’ve got problems.

4. Biathlon: A no-brainer. Cross-country skiing and shooting a rifle are awesome. Put them together and it’s a party.

5. Broomball: Perhaps the most accessible sport on this list, this hockey-based game is played down at Patterson Park. I’m simple (you hit a ball into a net with brooms) but fun as hell — until you take a spill and break your tailbone.

6. Drinking: Why go outside when you can stay warm by drinking beer and watching sports on TV?
