winter forest
Cold woodland scene
A winter forest is woodland in its cold-season state—trees bare or snow-laden, the understory dormant, sounds muffled by snow.
The phrase evokes a particular atmosphere: stillness, stark beauty, tracks in fresh snow.
We hiked through the winter forest at dawn.
It appears in nature writing, fairy tales, and descriptions of northern landscapes.
