There's No Business like Snow Business
Some key learnings from the northern petanquers... Petanque CAN actually be played in the snow! Circle drawing is very easy. Snow-play favors the pointer, and challenges the shooter. Dan and I put in 2 games despite the 20 degree weather... It's amazing, did you realize that a wet, frozen boule still doesn't freeze to your bare hand in that weather??? You learn something new everyday!

from a profesional point of view you can not play petanque in the snow, like you can not play petanque in the sand.
I;m not so sure Joe hasn't invented a new sport...
Snowboules...
You can play petanque anywhere that friends want to play... The snow just makes for a more interesting terrain. (the gloves make for an interesting twist, but you can work with them!) Some petanque is better than no petanque in my book! ;-)
Joe, MPC!!!
but playing in the snow makes it a game of plumbing. There is not as much skill required just luck.
