The 'Winter's Children' photoshoot in Vice Magazine's June 2010 issue is all about your birthday suit. The spread features some brave souls [snowboarding down a mountain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moncler-grenoble-xx-whitespace) wearing nothing but their skin!

The risque ladies and men in the Winter's Children shoot are flying down a snow-covered mountain doing tricks and getting some serious air, all the while bearing their souls (and behinds) to the wind. I have a feeling there was more than one case of frostbite here, especially if there were some falls in the snow. Good thing they had those [serious wool blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-heat-collection) to warm up their tushies!
