A group of friends took advantage of the snow at Blackburn Park’s Skatepark to try out some winter boarding activities on Monday, January 11.

Having built a snow run, the friends, on skis or snowboard, began their ride from a snow ramp added to the top of one quarter pipe. The additional downhill added the speed needed for the jumps ahead.
