 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've seen some totally pointless snow transport, but the kick-sled is a real cracker.
Is the poor kid on the front being given directions by the lazy adult on the back? The blurb says:
"People who are hesitant to slap a pair of slippery skis on their feet may feel more comfortable on a kick sled while still experiencing the feeling of "kick and glide". They have been a hit with kids of all ages..." Yeah, right.
There's another bizarre activity on the same website - "The Magic of Maplelag" - see if you can spot it. Perhaps a snowHead could check this place out and confirm another dramatic claim:
"Imagine yourself with your family or friends putting together a jigsaw puzzle, playing a favorite board game or just "catching up with each other"."

This is FANTASTIC. Maplelag is clearly Phoenix Nights on snow. All it needs is Peter kay on the kick-sled. It only reinforces all the Garrison Keillor stories about Minnesota. My favourite quote must be on the Talent Night contest: "You can even stand with a frozen fish and we will applaud.... This is a special highlight of the weekend".
OK, what's the lowlight of the weekend.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Have ANY of you been to Minnesota!
It makes the Linconshire fens look like Soho . . . I was actually asked "say boy, do you have cars in England?"

Anyone tried one of those kick-sled things? If you haven't, don't bother, unless your p!ssed, in which case they're a laugh (but let's be honest there isn't much that isn't!).
I tried one in Lapland on level, compact snow with my (not exactly heavy) wife on the front. Bloody exhausting I'd say, to put it mildly! In fact we parked it outside a church we thought we'd have a look at (well, it was there, so were we and I needed a break) and found that someone had (thankfully) nicked it when we came out. The Lord works in mysterious ways that's all I can say. How much easier it was on the way back

Are you sure it wasn't towed away by the police?

David, I can't condone that sort of behavior in a Church.......
David Goldsmith, I guess the Denver Boot isn't a viable option really....

No, the best way to immobilise a Minnesota kick-sled is to take an axe to it.

Maplelag looks exactly like the Club Med I stayed at in Val d. Definitely the same entertainers, but their ski equipment wasn't half as good.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Ice Skating:- "We do not have rental skates, so it is best to bring your own."
Hmm - I guess that would be a good idea then

Are you implying that the Lincolnshire fens are a liitle on the quiet side?

You know it makes sense.
|
Or you could borrow the frozen fish from Talent Night and strap them to your feet
