The NHL All-Star Game's snow slide looks fun but also pretty gross

Anyone looking to head to Columbus, Ohio, for this weekend's NHL All-Star festivities will have the opportunity to let out their inner child, because there is a giant snow slide set up in the city.

For only $2, fans at this weekend's NHL All-Star Game can zip down an 34-foot tall snow slide set up outside the arena. The Blue Jackets sent their terrifying anthropomorphic insect mascot down the slide for a test run and seemed pretty fun. 

It also looks pretty gross, though. Yahoo's Greg Wyshynski took a ride on Thursday afternoon—not long after it opened—and it looked pretty nasty. 

Best $2 I spent in a long time. Top speeds of 25 mph! pic.twitter.com/gG7LGfBZnf

What is it going to look like by the time it closes on Sunday night?
