Ski Whiz

There is a lovely stereotype about the tourists who come across the Canadian border in July with skis loaded on the roof of the car, expecting to hit the slopes.

Well, those chickens have come home to roost.

First, the boys of the BMD found some skis at the Recycle Centre at the local Transfer Station (aka Dump)   Home they came. After all, they have re-invented downhill skis into the runners for the Fish Hut, part of an Iceboat and other funky items.

When Judy showed up with racing ski vests that had been autographed by their ski idol Warren Miller, well, it was ON!

Undaunted by an absence of snow, the lads saddled up (well, loosely, not bothering to change into correct ski boots)  and headed for the sand pile at the beach.

Now, we suspect that they had the wax wrong.  But you have to give them top marks for enthusiasm!

You can watch the show here.
