      No. You don’t sit in the snow while doing so.

    The water better have a just in time delivery system as it’d be heavy… Probably better off with ag-bots on that.

    Why water slide? Seems a regular slide would be more practical in many ways.

        i don’t know if they tore it down yet, but 30 years ago there was a great park a few towns over with a long cement downhill. don’t know what it was from, but if you brought cardboard you could slide down it without (usually) hurting yourself.
