Patrick Brunold goes skating on a solid alpine lake to prove that you don’t have to travel far to have a good time.
There’s no reason to limit yourself to mainstream wintersports. Patrick Brunold, an alpine freestyle skater, and his friend, Nicolas, demonstrate how to have fun outside the proverbial winter “box.” The two skaters seize their last chance to bring their sense of adventure (and their skates) to a local lake in their German hometown.
It’s the perfect Sunday, with perfect weather and great companionship. And it gets even better for Brunold and his friend. The two crack open beers and spend the entire day skating over 400 meters on a frozen private lake that is all theirs to explore.
You can’t help but smile and reminisce on your wintery childhood memories after watching this edit. It might even make you want to grab a pair of skates and take to a lake somewhere in the mountains. Alpine ice skating is growing in popularity, and you can find local groups that get together to do it.
