when i was a kid and lived in country we use to hang onto bumpers to road ski on snow covered roads
not the smartest thing to do but it was a blast.

When I was a kid, we were pulled on a wooden sled behind a Quad with a 100' rope down all the back roads on Mount Rigaud. Between the elevation changes, tight corners and of course the rope I'm shocked we didn't have more injuries.

Also, pretty sure there was a lot of booze and blow being consumed by the adults, probably a good thing I was born in the 70's not earlier.

Keep well,
Mike

"when i was a kid -
in the summers, we sat inside staring at our phones
in the winters, we sat inside staring at our phones"
said every kid born in 2000 and beyond. Seems like Y2K did destroy us...

OK Rob...I grew up in Hammer Town too! We called it either Bumperhitching or Bumperskiing. When we did it behind the buses (HSR) sometimes the drivers would stop the bus and chase us! LOL....geezus....wonder no one died!!

Barton and Sherman for us growing up and yes the HSR drivers would sometimes stop if you snowballed them also...
