I live in the mountains and am clearing the brush so I can snowboard.

Wow looks like fun. Being from Louisiana, the only backyard skiing involves water (unfortunately I don’t have any water like that in my backyard but I guess that keeps the snakes and gators)

I live in Texas and we have more ice than snow. When we first moved to this neighborhood there were only 7 houses. We got a good snow/ice storm so we got a four wheel drive a rope and some skis (we also tried a disk and some other things) and towed around the neighborhood. The speed was limited more by the vehicle than the skis. If I remember correctly the top recorded speed was 43.

Great fun! That’s ski joring (skikjøring). I did that as a kid behind a Ski-Doo snowmobile in the late 1960’s. My dad did skijoring behind a horse when he was a kid. You can build some bodacious speed when turning. And jumping – dangerous but really fun.

It’s fun to play in the snow! We have to use snowshoes to pack down a few trails in our yard so our corgi can frolic. He loves the snow!

Man that’s the best thing I’ve seen all day @BanJoe Reminds me of my dog. 
I notice youtube channel is Murdoch Crabtree. I was just wondering if it had anything to do with William Murdoch & George Crabtree.

Very good! There are not very many that would recognize the reference! I’m impressed & pleased!
My dog is very smart (and being raised by a “Jesuit”), so Murdoch was a natural.

@BanJoe I figured it was more than just a mere coincidence. You sound like someone who never misses an episode.

We watched the first four seasons, then the CBC affiliate in Kingston, Ont (CKWS) dropped CBC & became a CTV affiliate. That means they now show nothing but crappy American TV shows.
I think the series ran for at least 10 seasons. It was a clever program.

Man, you had just got started. Thats too bad. I know what you mean about these new american shows. 
Actually funny were talking bout it they’re actually airing the new episode for season 14 now. If you don’t mind watching them out of order there are a few episode that have some how found there way on youtube for free if your interested.

That white stuff is why my wife and I no longer live off grid LOL we were so far in that with my wife’s dementia I decided we could no longer live that way
our property ran up into the west face of Mesa Redondo and we would get like 4 feet of snow in there and then we were stranded in there it was not good so we sold it and moved on.
