This is a fun, feel good story. On February 6th, 1976, Chuck Cihak skied 6 city blocks in San Francisco. The City had just gotten a few inches of snow and Chuck thought it would be fun to take the skis for a spin down to Bud’s Ice Cream parlor. Why not?

It hasn’t snowed in San Francisco in the 38 years since 1976. But, Chuck is waiting…
“It was one of those things where you go ‘If I can do it again, I certainly will.’ But it was such a rare thing. And of course any time it hailed, it was like Pavlov’s dog. But it never got to that point again.” – Chuck Cihak told the San Francisco Chronicle
