SAD, but make it hot

Another weird one I saw at Jay one Spring was a skateboard with a snowblade mounted several inches below the deck. No bindings...YIKES. The pilot had on a white jumpsuit and a Devo flower pot headgear.View attachment 10214

These are pretty cool, saw my first at Bolton Valley. Didn't know they had a name, Jack Jumpers. "They let you take that on the lift?!", Yep, just gotta have a leash. It's a Vermont, maybe New England, thing, I guess.

I almost killed myself on one of those things.

When I made snow we'd ride shovels down the hill. YeeHa.

I think I’ve seen those at Plattekill but just in the learning area

Shovel riding is so much fun- May be my favorite part of working at a mountain.

Working in the dining room we’d use the giant serving trays. No control, you just had to go for it.

My older twin brothers got flexible flyers for Christmas one year, probably before I was born. We had a pit on the side of our apartment that we called "the hole" that we sledded on the two sides of. Anyway, one day my Dad brought home these blue plastic runners that clipped over the runners of the sleds. They made the sleds much faster on soft snow. They were fun, I remember riding them standing up and steering with a rope attached to the steering bar.
Was hiking with a buddy of mine and we stopped to burn one. Saw something partially buried in the ground. Was shocked to discover an old SnoWing, we had a couple of those too. Ours sucked, they were steel. I think this one was aluminum.

Not to be too personal but I’d wager ya might have killed yourself on other things too, just sayin
