I just went skiing (sort of)

We got about an inch today (1st of the year) and I really wanted to ski so...

I shoveled all of the snow off the front lawn and boulevard as well as the sidewalk in front of my house and both neihbours to build a ramp down my front steps and the front walk. Its about a 2.5' drop from the lawn down to the sidewalk so I built a ramp down on the boulevard and laid a 10' peice of 2x8 over the sidewalk. Voila instant rail...

Pics to come tomorrow after I get them developed.

you know you can get truckloads of snow from ice rinks all summer long right?
