When the streets and sidewalks are covered in snow, getting around can require a little creativity.

At least one person decided to strap on skis during this week's snowstorm in Vancouver, and was caught on camera hitting the "slopes" of a side-street Wednesday morning.
Davis Lougheed shared the video on Instagram with the caption, "POV: You don't trust Vancouver drivers anymore, so you ski to work."
Lougheed, a Realtor with Oakwynn Realty, told CTV News the incident happened around 9 a.m., while the roads in his neighbourhood were still completely buried in snow.
"I look outside my window – I'm in South Vancouver near the River District – and all the sudden someone's skiing down the hill," he said.
The storm caused commuter chaos that morning, with a series of accidents and spin-outs snarling traffic on a number of major arteries during rush hour.
One Instagram commenter joked that skis might be the "fastest and most reliable" mode of transportation on a Vancouver snow day.
