Chinook

When the warm wind blows in Emmett's town, the sky turns to this...

and ushers in cycling season by turning Emmett's halfpipe from this...

...to this.

Egged on by an octogenarian

The gauntlet having been thrown down by an eightysomething ski buddy of his dad's, Emmett takes advantage of a March snowstorm and hurtles himself into the halfpipe three doors down.

What a difference a year makes.

Games of snow and ice

Demonstrating a clear preference for ice sports requiring a low centre of gravity, Emmett's parents cancel skating lessons and sign him up for skeleton camp.

Hey, what's the worst that could happen?

Recurring snowflakiness

A snowy spring continues to hamper Emmett's fun in the playground.

His dad attempts to use the snow to his advantage and, in spite of a persistent brake problem, Emmett demonstrates an epic inability to curb his enthusiasm.
