Winter Ultimate Frisbee / Зимний Алтимат

During the winter months northern latitude ultimate players traditionally move indoors. But more and more people are becoming convinced that low temperatures are not an obstacle to excellent frisbee.
Here are our top reasons for preferring outdoor ultimate:

1. Fresh air.  Outside air quality is generally better in the winter than in hot weather, while the air inside of gymnasiums can be stagnant and dusty.  
2. Sunshine.  People in cold climates don't get enough sunshine in the winter. We need more Vitamin D₃ (produced in skin exposed to sunlight).
   
3. Painless layouts.  Landing on a cushion of snow is a big pleasure for anyone who likes to lay out.
   
4. Fewer injuries.  Snow protects against injuries by cushioning falls.  It also reduces running speeds and consequently makes collisions safer.
   
5. Builds tolerance for cold weather. 
   
6. Stay in shape for the beach season.  Running on snow is a lot like running on sand.  Only better.
   
7. Unlimited playing surface. 
8. It's free. Renting a heated gymnasium can be expensive, but it's easy to find ultimate fields outside in the winter.
9. Disks last practically forever.  It's always a pleasure to play with a brand new disk.  But disks never stay new for long when they are used inside.  In the snow, disks retain that "brand new" quality for years.
   
10. Extreme, but safe. 
    

If you are still not convinced, then think about Planet Earth. Playing frisbee indoors requires that a huge multistory airspace be constantly heated. Winter ultimate aficionados understand that it's not necessary to burn profligate amounts of fossil fuels to stay warm, we can use our own internal energy and suitable insulation.
