Men turn New York City into their own personal ski park

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

This is one of the coolest snow videos we’ll see all blizzard. A group of friends threw some chains on their tires, put on their skis and snowboards, and took to the streets of Manhattan to make one of the most iconic ski videos you’ll ever see.

New Yorkers are being told to stay off the streets in their vehicles, which is turning the whole city into a playground. People were cheering the skiers as they flew through Times Square waving an American flag and then the police caught up to them.

There are a dozen ways this plays out in your mind, and all of them are wrong. Instead of throwing the book or making a big deal out of it, the officer just says, “Someone complained, so we’re just going to act like we’re talking to you.” THOSE ARE COOL COPS! There’s no need to destroy someone’s fun. So shame on whoever called this in.
