Jodi Corrigan's daughter spotted the snow blown up to the eaves of their woodshed and decided to put it to good use as a snowboarding run.
She was all business getting her board set, balancing at the top and beginning the descent. I'm no expert on snowboarding, but I think she may have a chance at the 2018 Olympics if they open up a Roof Run category, since it looks to me like her form is quite good.
I love the way she's celebrating her successful run in the second to the last photo, as she makes it all the way to the edge of the lake. But, I think my favorite shot is the last one…her victory pose! That would make a great photo to blow up to an 8 X 10, so she could sign them for her fans! Way to go Bugs!

It is Berry, Berry quiet in here; but I do detect the smell of pasties. I want one now!

That is a Gold Medal run combined with a Gold Medal idea. That was good thinking young lady.

Jbuck, when I first saw the pictures, that's exactly what I thought. Fun pictures, and you just never know :-)

I don't see a dog in the first photo. The title of the photo is 'a girl and her dog'
Mary says Good job, Lyn! It's great to see that people really do look at the photos AND read the titles and my notes. You get an for being so observant today! :-)

9.7 :-) Boarding has become one of my favorite competitions at the Olympics this year.

That is not a dog. It's her knee in the air. Perhap it's time to check your glasses Mary.
Mary says Good job, Sarah! It's great to see that people really do look at the photos AND read my notes. You get an , too, for being so observant today! I'll make an appointment to get my eyes checked soon! :-)

I thought I was losing it. I couldn't find a dog anywhere. Thanks for confirming that there wasn't one. Too funny. I love Pasty Cam, entertaining every day.

Mary, I like your title of the first picture much better than "A girl and her knee". A little editorial leeway for Mary here people! ;>) (OK, OK, I thought it was a dog too!)

Hear, hear, Dave! And Mary, it took until the end of the run for me to quit looking for the chihuahua in her pocket, thinking that's the only place she could have put it where I couldn't see it! (But it was a black dog, rather larger than a chihuahua, wasn't it?) lol

Fantastic photos today!!! Only in the U.P. can people snowboard from the roof! Future Olympian in the making!

Well, Mary, if it makes you feel any better about your eyesight ~ I also thought her 'knee' was a black doggie with a scarf around its neck.>oo<

Hi Looks like conditons are a lot better in the UP than they are in Sochi. No fog, no rain, no slush.

All I get is an A+??? I was expecting free pasties!! :)

Hey, I know that kid! She looks like she had fun.
