    Bonjour ! So your question is about "l'hiver" ou "en hiver", both are correct. "En hiver" means you are talking about the season itself (when the weather is cold etc). "L'hiver" has a *slight* difference, it includes a habit meaning like it's something you would do every year. But the difference is so tiny people actually use them interchangeably. I will add this though : be careful about the rest of your sentence. As you know, "je vais skier" can mean "I go skiing" but it also could mean "I'm going to ski" (le futur proche). To avoid any confusion, you may use "je pars skier" (and add the location because we usually include one when using "partir"). Happy skiing ❄

    Bonsoir ! 1. (Expression familière) S'y mettre = commencer, se motiver à faire Le "y" remplace "à faire" = > se mettre à faire 2. "pour préparer" est l'objectif, ce n'est pas connecté au verbe. Vous pouvez donc dire : "Il faut encore faire des petits biscuits et s'y mettre pour préparer les pains d'épice" (la phrase est un peu étrange, j'ajouterais "et s'y mettre rapidement/vite", on comprendrait le sentiment d'urgence, et le sous-entendu qu'on n'a pas encore commencé les pains d'épice et qu'on est en retard) "Il faut encore faire des petits biscuits et se mettre à préparer les pains d'épice". (Ici on parle simplement de commencer à préparer les pains d'épice). Bon appétit (=
