Snow Ride begins July 9

Ready to cool off with some snow in July:?:  This is one event that I really enjoy  Image below copied from Teddy & Becky! 




Remember...you can’t jump over the (I know, I’ve tried )

I’m looking forward to this one @gracie, I’m not all that good, but it’s really fun.

Wondering how the rest of the chorus goes.

Also wondering about the profile picture. Will there be a new one, a recycled one or none at all?

I was trying to remember how this event was powered.  I like it - No helicopters, nothing to make.

This is my favorite of the mini games as well.

Lol! @Mic Miller, looking at my post again, I agree, there must be a song in there somewhere.

There are two other ways to get snowflakes: HoL chests and gift balloons (to the daily limit).

Oh goodie! I don't have to make endless muffins, ice cream cones, etc  I am not very good at this event but I am happy to play along if it doesn't require a ton of resources. Very nicely paired with the start of the Professor's Experiments which will need more attention

I like this event..but those ghastly trees and snowmen are at some points so close behind each other it’s impossible to avoid them all...I need a snow blower to blow away the pesky snowmen  
But it’s all good we get to pick up a few items on the way...

After playing the tutorial, when falling I was able to continue several times without a fee.

Thanks for the heads up.

Same here, I skip the tutorial and only get one free chance to continue racing after falling

So far have spun "my favourite" (heavy sarcasm) spinwheel twice and both times won the same unwanted decoration. Now have three triathlons. Any more will be a misnomer!

I got 3 picks in my first turn/spinning... the German translation of the Asterix' statement  "die spinnen" seems the right comment.  
And that we got that wheel again at all, shows how well P is listening.

So far for me, first spin 1 silver ingot, second spin 2 silver ingots. These now seem quite good in comparison to yours

Let me guess. Your third spin gave you 3 silver ingots?

I'm nearly there @Elvengirl so will let you know. The excitement is just too much!

So far I’ve only spun that silly unwanted wheel once...got 2 unwanted dynamite sticks.
So that’s it for me.. there were no snowflakes on the track either.
So used the free 25 starter ones and done.

Just got 2 buckets of paint, have gotten 3 sticks of dynamite 🧨 and a hammer. I have picked up a few snowflakes on the track.

I feel honored. I got 3TC on my first spin.  Got picks on spin #2.  This isn't a good event for me so not sure how many more spins I'll even get.  When the courses have the trees and snowmen I end up jumping when I should be scooting up or down so I don't actually finish too many runs on the course.
