There’s nothing like the magic of winter to bring out the kid inside of all of us.

And it turns out that not even advanced age can stop us from experiencing the joy of this gorgeous season. When a man named Armand was recently driving his mother through snowy climes, he was shocked to see that she hopped out of the vehicle while it was stopped.

As it turned out, the centenarian—who is 101 years old—just wanted to play in the snow.

Leaning down, the woman picks up some snow and then forms a snowball. Demonstrating remarkable athleticism for someone of her age, she then tosses it into the woods. With childlike enthusiasm, she goes on to describe her love of the phenomenon, mentioning that she’s not even cold out there in the elements.

Luckily for us, Armand happened to have his camera nearby.

It’s truly remarkable to watch, especially because the woman isn’t even wearing that much to protect her from the cold. She picks up the snow with her bare hands, the light from her smile emanating throughout the entire winter wonderland.

In a world that is so often filled with negative stories, this was a beautiful visual tale of eternal youth amid the stunning scenery of winter.
