Welcome to sunny Alberta:

Where else are you going to get a chance to have a foot race with a Siberian Nomad within walking range of a hot tub?

If there was an event for pushing a frozen Pontiac Sunbird up a frozen driveway so the darn thing can just get plugged in for a few hours, Adam would bring home Gold for Manitoba. He wouldn't even wear a toque or mitts...

HAR!!!! That's the funniest thing I've heard all week. Har, har, har... That's a keeper, and I would fully support introducing that as a new event, perhaps just as an exhibition for the first 2-3 years to see how folks respond. I'm guessing that would be very popular no doubt.

I can picture Adam warming up with a few Karate bends first whilst staring down the competition with his icy glare. Superb. I have complete confidence in his abilities, the Russians won't even know what hit them. K power. A nice variation on this even could be the two-man portion where the skinny guy (me) sits inside to steer and work the AC/DC cassette whenever it chokes.

I also support "Aggressive Sipping" as a new Northern event, if you've ever been to one of these things, afterward inside it sounds like a sip-a-thon. Shame to see that go asunder.

yeah that was alot of fun this year. I think I had to push'r up the driveway about 3 times this year. The hadest part is the giant mound of rock hard snow from the street plow, once you get past that part the car almost pushes itself.

Corey you can steer, Brett and I will push, kindof like an uphill bobsled, but with an old car instead of a sled, of course mitts and headgear are optional, I personally like the feel of the frozen metal on my hands but you can wear whatever you like.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

uphill bobsled

Adam. You are a genius. That is the greatest invention I have ever heard of. I would gladly plunk down $150 for a ticket go see that, I really would.
