When another foot of snow pummeled the East Coast Thursday, most people stayed in bed, curled in a ball and watched Netflix all day.

Instead of wasting away under a pile of fleece, Casey Neistat decided to break his cabin fever by hitting the slopes, or in this case, the streets of New York City for some snowboarding.

Neistat took advantage of one of the few moments when the city traffic slows to hit the fresh powder with some assistance from his Jeep and a tow rope. Sort of like water skiing, but replace the boat with a Jeep and the lake with snowy streets.

The stunt might look dangerous, but Neistat is a pro at pulling off stunts in New York. The film producer created a viral video in 2011 highlighting the city's problems with bike lanes.
