The Summit Backyard Park has been getting quite a bit of attention lately from snowboarders and skiers. The thought never really crossed my mind that it could be used with a snowskate also… This group of riders proved the point that it can be done, and it actually looked like a good way to spend a sweaty summer afternoon. At least you don’t have to get your boots all sweaty when you use the snowskate…
