This is heartbreaking.

Bode Miller is one hell of a skier, and has been a big part of our Olympic team. His younger brother, Chelone "Chilly" Miller, also loved the slopes. He preferred to snowboard instead of skiing.

Chelone has passed away due to a seizure, according to the U.S. Snowboarding release.

The 19-year-old sensation tweeted:

Mitch and Dallas Seavey are both mushers.

That means they're dog sled racers.

And the dog sledding super bowl is the Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race in Alaska.

Researchers have found that frostbite and hypothermia are not the only dangers for those who exercise, hike and play outdoors in the winter. Surprisingly, there is an increased risk for dehydration! You see, when the weather is cold, unlike hot weather or after sweaty workouts, people do not feel thirsty. How is water from our body lost? Through breathing. We do not sense why water intake may be needed because sweat evaporates beneath clothing in cold, dry air.

Since our bodies are made up of about two thirds water, it only takes a few percent of water loss to become dehydrated. It is interesting to note that our body relies on the sensation of thirst to maintain its fluid balance. The key to be adequately hydrated is to drink plenty of water, especially when outdoors in cold weather. Clear urine is a good indicator which shows you are not at risk of becoming dehydrated.
