I definitely thought this was two gifs at first and watched the bottom half for longer than I care to admit waiting for something to happen.

I used to do that with friends. My neighborhood is near a river and there was some good slopes in a few places. We would build a table top1/

Eastern Washington is currently boned too. Plows can't operate; road closures. Can't stop, won't stop! Snowmageddon!

Well, he can't snowboard IN your house, due to lack of snow and hills...

Ever notice some of the best sledding hills end in streets, fences or bodies of water? The real excitement is in the stopping.

I once rolled off a sled right before the edge of a creek only to see my sled bounce off the Ice 10 feet below. Good Times.

I always prefer going up a ski lift and going off the other side. I carry snow shoes with me but off piece is 10x better than on

Get some avalanche training, a beacon, probe, and shovel. Once you leave the resort you are no longer in avy managed terrain.

7 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 0

In addition to these, consider an avalanche airbag which will greatly increase your chances of survival

Seattle drivers can barely drive in the rain without killing everyone, so just imagine what a few inches of snow does

Most Seattle driver are actually California drivers, thanks to amazon and a poor transit system

Seattle folks drove like shit before the tech industry population boom. The tech migrants made it worse, but it was still pretty bad.

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I guess I’m talking more about bad traffic vs bad driving

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Seattle, and most of western WA in general, is both bad traffic and bad drivers.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Oh, you may be right about that. I was a kid, don't remember sitting in traffic that much, but don't remember Vietnam or Nixon, either.

I just remember even a few years ago being able to drive from Olympia to Seattle and having at max it take an hour and twenty minutes

There's a severe disconnect between the amount of shock in me and op right now. Why the hell wouldnt he board? Am I missing context?

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

It's the fact that Seattle rarely gets any significant snowfall at all, and now there's enough to snowboard on

Totally. It's one of those things that everyone did on their own and never realized every other kid did it too. So funny that way.

Often the video is not allowed to play where it’s imbedded. If you tap the title instead of play, it’ll usually take you where you can play

Weird, it's working for me still. Just do a video search of "North Face street skiing commercial" and you should find it.
