Snowskate Adventure

The end of december means a lot for me; the end of another semester, christmas time (tralala) and snowskate travels. This year, my roommate Roby Provost and I are lucky enough to be wandering around the northern part of USA. Our first stop, before flying out to meet Alan in Minneapolis, was Burlington (Vermont). There, we hung out with Nick Stefani.

Arriving from MTL at 2am at the Burlington airport was funny and uncomfortable; we had the building to ourselves pretty much and ended up playing arcade games and sleeping on the floor of a restaurant. Once 7am rolled around, so did Nick. We went straight to his local ski hill where we found a decent sized bronze tube and successfully filmed a few clips. Our day continued well as Nick brought us to his place and we rode a pretty cool kicker-box setup.

Apple cider, thrift stores, sledding hills and sandwiches that contain every type of meat possible are what made up our afternoon. It was great. However, once the sun set, our luck with the snow gods ran out; it started raining quite a lot. Naps by the fireplace were in order. The night ended on a good note as we met up with Nick's friends and had an extra cozy night in a beautiful house in the woods.

Less than 48 hours after joining our friend (aka young pro), it was already time for us to leave Burlington. After a full day of dealing with plane business (and struggling with not-so available wifi) we finally arrived in Minneapolis. Tomorrow we will be driving up to Duluth to continue our snowskate venture.

Keep it real, till next time!
