So we just got a big storm in Boston for the first time in a couple years. My gf keeps making fun of me for saying if I put a big PVC tube at castle island that people would be lining up to hit it.

that being said, any urban skiers in Boston know of any spots/ who wants to sesh?

How much you get OP? CT has insane drifts so reports are saying a foot but i'm seeing more like 10 inches. anyways the snow is like that crisp UTAH snow which is fucking rad. Light and fluffy =)

Was just there today in the North End. Rail is bit tall and steep but the in run is on a side street that's covered in snow because you can't drive down it. Should of used a fisheye to show how tall it is.

Hitting rails in the north end, I love it. Also FYI at least for me the first pic worked better-- it lets you tap it and zoom in, higher quality

Drove by it last night, you need a legit crew to shovel all that. Mainly trying to hit spots with natural speed. If you know where either of these spots are please let me know.
First is a quad kink that's been in bunch of Stept videos and in an old Bunch movie.

Spot is at 0:33

Next spot is at 1:55 in the edit below (DFD). I know both are in Boston/Boston Metro.

When I hit the Mission Hill rail with the bunch homies we did it with a drop in built of snow. Snow pile was like 6 feet tall but didn’t take all that long to build. With a pole whip in jnilla was able to grease sw lip to sw. which means use peasants can at least have some fun trying to slide it with a snow drop in.
if you like that rail I say go put in the work!

TRU.
That being said that's a fat staircase so I'm going to shovel the whole thing so the shot looks dope. Would work much better with more than 2 of us haha. Seeing as there's so many spots to chose from ill save that one.
That down donkey in Stoneham you hit looks like it would be fun to hit.
@NickMartini throw up some spots to hype the kids up .
