Finnish Snowboarder Has the Greatest Backyard Obstacle Course in the World

Winter bringing you down? Finnish snowboarder Roope “Thunder” Tonteri wants to remind you to embrace it, one snowflake at a time.

To that end, Tonteri has put together what can only be called the greatest backyard obstacle course in the world, incorporating a skateboarding halfpipe with a makeshift snowboarding ramp and an obstacle course, all of which “drains” into a frozen lake.

Watch as Red Bull and GoPro help him show off his snowy paradise below.
