Word of the Day

Proprioception.
n.
The unconscious perception of movement and spatial orientation arising from stimuli within the body itself.

[Latin proprius, one's own + (RE)CEPTION.]

In a sentence: "There is still plenty of snow up there, and skiing in the dark, with all your friends and their twinkling headlamps, is an adventure in proprioception, a mid‐week blast of fresh air, a chance to try out new equipment or new waxing techniques, and a great alternative to “Law and Order.”"

I love it, thanks xcskigirl!
