Blake Polito, Mitch Riter and Austin Wilkson can't wait for it to snow so they can ski.
But while they wait, they hit upon an ingenious idea -- use the ice dumped from the Zamboni at the Falleti Ice Arena to fashion a mini ski ramp and get some practice in now.
The trio was out behind the arena today practicing-- with permission, they said, from the arena management.
If it's snow they want, they reportedly won't have long to wait. The National Weather Service has issued a lake effect snow watch from Friday afternoon until Saturday evening for parts of Genesee County, including, potentially, Batavia.
