I don’t speak Russian, or whatever language is being spoken in this video, but I’m pretty sure that at some point there are a couple of people saying, “Oh sh*t!” as things get interesting.

Too much snow?

1 year ago

I don’t know if I really believe that there can be too much snow…after all, it’s dumped well over three feet of snow in the past few days, the skiing has been the best it’s been all year and I am ready for it to keep snowing all the way through April 18th – the resort’s extended closing date. This said, check out this video and see you you think that perhaps there can be too much snow!
