Cross-Campus Skiing

Seeing somebody actually skiing to get from class to class was comical, not only because it wasn’t something you see every day, but because it made a whole lot of sense. What a smart idea! Because the snow impacts very little friction, it’s more than four times as fast to ski to class as it would be to walk, or even run. Especially in the cold, snowy temperatures of northern New York, you need to find a quick way to get from warm classroom to warm classroom, and this guy certainly did!
