Friday Fun: Snow Kayaking, Big Mountain Style

There’s a certain, screwy logic to snow kayaking: kayaks are made to ride on water, right? Snow’s just frozen water, right?

You wouldn’t think it would work, but it does. It works so well, in fact, that the sport has its own world championships, which will be held this March in Austria.

The snow paddlers in this video from Broadband Sports shred so hard, you’d never know their boats were made for water. Still, the cliff jumps they hit look scary; even in powder, those landings must be harsh.

From all of us at Matador, have an extreme weekend!
