Last February, the mid-atlantic region received a three-foot snowfall followed a few days later by another two-foot dump, something that's never happened in recorded weather history there. Naturally, the Meatheads were following these biblical events closely and gathered an urban shred crew of Andy Parry, Shea Flynn and Will Wesson to look for skiable terrain. Shooting freeskiing in downtown DC is no easy task. Sneaking around with generators, winches, gasoline, cords, lights, tripods and camera equipment is virtually impossible with guards and police all over the National Mall area. However, with the insane blizzard having turned downtown into a virtual post-apocalyptic zone, the athletes were able to find the goods and (mostly) stay out of trouble. America truly is the greatest.
