If you've ever spent a winter on the road, then you can probably agree that a shared moment can flip the whole mood, and that ended up being the redeeming quality of the Vans Europe crew’s winter last year. They headed to Norway and Finland to clip up, knowing full well the weather might have other plans. And it did. Rain got in the way, forecasts missed the mark, and days didn’t always go as expected.
Somewhere between late nights, moving together, and making the most of what was there, the phrase stuck: “You made my day.” Not as a slogan — but as a reminder. That the people you show up with matter. That one shared moment can turn a rough day into a good one, and a good trip into something you’ll remember.
Take this video as a reminder for when things inevitably go sideways for your crew this winter. No perfect forecasts guaranteed. Just friends, wet gear, and enough good moments to make it worth it. Turns out that’s usually how the best trips go.
