SFGate.com has a story about the Icer Air 2005 competition in San Francisco, for which they dumped tons of snow on Fillmore Street, a street with an 18-degree incline. From Yahoo: "Johnny Moseley, the 1998 Olympic gold medal winner in moguls, beamed with pride as he dug his heels in the snow, helped erect retaining walls, and oversaw the growing contour of the slope. "It's about 14,000 cubic feet. That's my number," Moseley said as he helped staple up some banners promoting sponsors of the event, which was organized by Icer Air, a ski equipment company. "We've got plenty. We're good."

It was hard to say which was more exotic, a stifling hot day in San Francisco or snow on Fillmore Street. The two extremes converged Thursday in Pacific Heights for Icer Air 2005 as thousands of people in shorts, tank-tops and sandals cheered on Olympic skier Jonny Moseley and 20 other professional skiers and snowboarders as they skied down Fillmore Street hill, flew off a jump at Vallejo Street and landed in a pile of slush near Green Street.

There were, however, some problems. At one point in the show, a snowboarder skidded off the landing strip and flew into the crowd. Two people were treated at a hospital for minor injuries as a result. One of the people injured was an Icer volunteer who was hit by the errant snowboarder. "I'm just banged up a bit. I didn't get out of the way in time. It's not a big deal," said the woman, who was bleeding from the head as she waited to be treated by paramedics.

Yeah, bleeding from the head. No big deal, happens all the time! Read on for some slushy pics.
