S.F. revels in snow day

Despite the neighbors doing everything they could to prevent the event from happening, Icer Air 2005 went ahead yesterday with thousands of people in attendance.

From the Examiner, "Skiers and snowboarders launched near a mock cable car at the top of the Fillmore Street hill at Broadway and then tore down a narrow strip of snow, reaching speeds around 30 mph. Just a few feet away on either side, crowds beat on wooden barriers that lined the route."

"The event was originally scheduled for the end of August, but organizers and city officials decided to delay it after complaints from neighbors and safety concerns."

SF Gate has a great 4 minute Quicktime video of the event as well, including how they brought the snow into Fillmore Street.
