Based on the story of the comic "Troublesome Winter"

In the comic "Troublesome Winter," the Moomin family, who are not hibernating, try their hand at winter sports with Blisk, who loves sports. The Moomins are not very good at it, and are confused by Blisk's enthusiasm, but they accept him anyway. Meanwhile, Mymble falls in love with Blisk and practices with him in secret.
