PhotoTO: Off Piste

By Miles Storey

These skiing-related signs appeared yesterday along Macdonnell Avenue in Parkdale, between Queen Street and Garden Avenue. This doesn’t seem to be an installation with any purpose or meaning, and there’s no particular irony in this residential setting. It’s amusing but random. Is there a wider message?
Thanks to David Giddens for the tip.

    Ahh, unnessesary warnings. LOVE! Just hope they arn’t left up during winter because with our weather people might take them seriously.

  • Jill Murray

    This is kind of awesome, just as is it.

  • Jono

    This was done by 2 friends of mine – no motive, just some good ol’ fun with some old signs…heh.

    This is my personal favorite.

    Surprised no one (re:pickletoes or davedave) hasnt called this dangerous vandelism yet….

  • Mark Ostler

    Gauldar: Is that a duck with an exceptionally long beak spearing an apple? Or…I don’t even know.

  • Gauldar

    My guess would be a kiwi spearing an olive. Olives are known to be fierce mortal enemies of the kiwi.

    How many people are going to have to die before you take this kind of dangerous vandalism seriously, wardnikoff?

  • Mark Ostler

    I ride down Macdonell every day and I almost crashed trying not to straddle the T-bar and looking out for grooming vehicles!

  • Carly Beath

    They’re on other streets too, including mine. I love them.

  • Shyzer

    What could possibly have a wider meaning than “amusing and random”?
