Had enough of being trapped indoors this winter? Get outside with our DIY Winter Adventure series.

Skiing is hugely popular for good reason- high speeds, big air, and the thrill of putting winter weather and snow to good use. The problem is that mountains aren’t always nearby, lift tickets are expensive and not every city has an indoor ski resort. But JP Auclair proves that you don’t need a great resort for great skiing- he rocks the streets of British Columbia, turning a hillside city into his own personal terrain park.

In a gorgeously-made video from Sherpas Cinema that ranks among our favorites, Auclair flips over cars, skids across streets and rides down stairs. Then he takes the city bus back uphill.

Enjoy!
