i prefer the summer event, the fastest game on ice is a pain to do, it usually takes me 4-5 tries per day just to finish it.

Winter event is the best. I do miss the old rustic log cabin feel of the old wonderland though. Not a fan of the new Frozen buildings.. But oh well.
I do love the summer event to though, but it just lacks the charm of the winter event. Plus the swimsuits on our broken seam ridden character models is just sad... Really poor quality control.. Just shows they dont care about putting out a good game.
Winter event is my fave. I mean you can can stand by the side of the "Fastest game on Ice" track and offer assistance to your fellow players by pelting them with snowballs to give racing players a nice boost and reduce that nasty traction, so they can fly a little faster along the course. Help your fellow STO players this year, throw snowballs at them!
I like the Summer event by far much better well at least for the rewards. I suspect far more likely agree with that comment even though the Winter Event is a bit more fun; it's just generally the rewards were far less exciting mostly being 3 cuts of the same jacket then in just 10 or 12 different colors. At least they added Winter Sweater's last year which was a huge improvement over the available outfit's; while I like the Ski Outfit this year I'd love to see 3 cuts of Coats in 10+ colors consolidated to offer 2 or 3 color options.
I think the ski outfit this year was a NICE addition but the summer event still has by far much more unique outfits most of which all offer a limited or wider choice of color palette customization. Still the reason why more people are voting for Winter is simply because it's more fun to use Snow Gun's or Race than building sand castles or dancing for hours.
Still I'd love to see a Winter Ice (Speed Skate) race that uses Winter Boots on a Frozen Ice Track along a River or something where you had to jump over obstacles or avoid being hit into the banks by a Snow Cannon.
I prefer the winter event. The atmosphere of the region. Also, I can always go visit Risa whenever. It's not often I can go to a mountain range, and look down on Q, while my character performs Mokbara. I also enjoy seeing a sky with the Aurora Borealis lights present.
I think i'd have to say winter, it's just seems more contained and well thought out.
Summer is fun and feels quite nice and relaxed but a lot of the events are too spread out, the map is really underused and the recent loss of the day/night cycle makes the place feel very fake.
By contrast Q's WW feels alive and full of festive fun and cheer. And it's rammed full of things to do throughout the day. Plus the rewards are generally easier to get and store items are less restricted.

Well, if THAT's what you want, you can play Champions Online. the Canada zone is always like that.
Also in the Forochel winter zone, when the night cycle comes out, for LOTRO. Favorite zones in STO for me though, are the outdoor Rura Penthe area, Raveh II outside, and the dilithium mine exteriors.

Now that lighting 2.0 downgrade nerfed Risa to oblivion, only the good memories are left.
Good thing there's other games that recognize the value of dynamic scenery like Planetside2, Elder Scrolls, Fallout to name a few.
Also now that NET NEUTRALITY is on a sure path to rejection, it might be time to make the most of STO since its servers are in USA.
