New Olympic Sport: Iceberg Fat Tire Jumping

Here on the Arctic Riviera we take our winter sports seriously. Snow and ice are not to be despised, this white stuff is to be embraced. If one can integrate them with the crystal clear waters of Lake Superior, you have reached nirvana!!! While I did not find any Long-Tailed Ducks working their way back to the Arctic, I found a pair of athletes preparing for the next Olympics. Watch out world, via our curling team and the women’s ice hockey teams, Duluthians already ruled with all our gold. We will reign supreme in four years at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Thus … the newly sanctioned sport of Iceberg Fat Tire Jumping (oh yes … saw two Snowy Owls at sunrise this morning … image at end of post)

Video … Slow Mo x2 (watch video at full speed)

The Snowy Owls will return to the Arctic in a few days. In the mean time I plan to return and watch my two friends hunt at sunset.
