Giant Blizzard Strikes Thessaloniki. Snowboarders rejoice!

For the first time in known history, snow fell along the boardwalk of Lefkos Pyrgos, home to the famous "White Tower" of Thessaloniki, Greece, during the summer.  Yes, snow. The arrival of Nokia Totally Board, an extreme sports and hip-hop music festival has brought with it a man-made mountain of steel and snow.  As the world's top Big Air snowboarders and skiers thrilled the crowd of 15,000, Greek resident Taig Kris, the international inline skate icon was also on hand, as were the world's top professional skateboarders at the giant vert ramp. The music stage was headlined by European chart-toppers The Rasmus, with Greek bands Matisse and Mikro also entertaining the local crowd. Mobility demonstrations, from games to imaging to the newly introduced "light messaging" were also on display for this mobile-savvy audience.
