If you live anywhere near New York, you’re probably pretty goddamn sick of snow. Some people have told us it helps to pretend that the city is covered with mashed potatoes, but that’s a stupid idea that just makes us hungry and cold. The only good thing to come out of a bunch of snow in recent memory is Jim Mangan’s pictures of naked people snowboarding and horsing around in it. The photos have just been released in a new book published by powerHouse, called Winter’s Children.

Along with the release of the book, Milk gallery is hosting an exhibition of the photos that opens today and runs through Sunday. You’d be amazed how looking at pictures of freezing neked people in the snow can kick your metabolic rate into overdrive, making winter in New York a bit more bearable.

Here’s a few pictures from the book we ran in a spread in our Embargo issue back in June:
