Ride out the storm...on a PHNX Board!

I don't know where you are, but it's been a cold, dark, DRY winter here in the Boston area.  We had one wimpy "storm" that only dropped a couple of inches about a month ago (of course, if you have a PHNX Board, only a couple of inches is good enough!).  Here we are mid-January and I'm dying to get out on my board again, and it looks like this weekend is finally it! 

Last week, I took a walk over at one of my all-time favorite hills, Peter's Hill at Arnold Arboretum.  In addition to the main hill, there is more awesome terrain off Bussey Hill, across the street, but still part of the Arboretum.  It's a heavily wooded area but the trees are spaced way out so there are tons of great lines to be had.  And, as always, there's hardly anyone ever there.  Once the snow starts flying, I'll be heading over!

(Best parking for Peter's Hill is on Bussey Street, but for Bussey Hill it's over on South Street --a couple of spots are usually available at the Public Health building over there- or maybe at the Dana Greenhouses, though I've never tried there)

So, as always when there is a storm and travelling far can be problematic, if you have a snurfer -preferably a PHNX Board Trailblazer- you can ride out the storm in real time wherever you are hunkered down.  Some of us are lucky to have hills right behind our homes, or as in the case of the Arnold Arboretum, there are hills close by hundreds of thousands of people.  You don't have to drive far to get first...and last tracks!
