Big Cold Special: Slippery Activities Forbidden!

Same park as day before, but now there's a SIGN and clumps of security people wandering about. To answer snow-related questions? To help people navigate the glaciers?? There isn't even any snow on the main path...

OK, I admit that "Les activités de glisse sont interdites" can also be translated as "sliding activities". Frankly though, I'm hard pressed to imagine anyone whipping out a bobsled in an utterly flat park with about 2mm of snow on gravel paths. Where there's grass, the snow either melted or dropped onto the ground below. You'd have to seriously grease up that bobsled to get any sliding going on.

I think my favorite thing on the sign is the pictograph of little man loosing all motor control while being bludgeoned by monster, turkey-sized snowflakes.
