I am a snow junkie. I'll openly admit it.

Figured it might be a fun thread to track everyone's days on snow this year boarding and skiing.

I'll Start.

I've got 2 more days in so far this year also. All at Loveland. Got buried waist deep for about an hour out in the trees the third time....

Goin out tomorrow too. I'll bring some more pics home!

REASON # 564 OF WHY THE HELL I NEED TO MOVE TO CO. this NE thing is just not up to par!

S2X01 PLEASE do me a favor, can you please, please send that weather toward PA Please... Nice pics.. our ski sessions hasn't started yet, sometime in mid December or starting January. all depends on the temperature...

Oh hell yeah!

I was able to hit up Mt. Baker on opening day, 11-20. Absolutely incredible views, and the powder was pretty awesome too :D

Going again Friday, and many times after that

Nice!! I've always wanted to go ride Baker. And go to the infamous road gap where I would puss out for sure :D

I'm stoked for ski season. I am doing a little backcountry thursday then bridger bowl over the weekend. Now that I live in Bozeman and bridger is 20 minutes away I dont have any excuses anymore

Let me know when you want to run loveland pass... I thought about going thursday.. You in?

I don't have many pictures, but I've been a ton already. Having a Colorado Pass and no job will do that to a person...

went out yeserday.....a little overcast...but still awesome.


The search and rescue helicopters kept coming and going right by our lift. Found out later that there was an avalanche up on the pass! Brandon (STEEZE) was up there riding......he's alive though. crazy sunday.

Ya we saw the helicopters too... we considered hiking the bowl too, good thing we didn't.

Wish I lived near there... Coors and skiing, two of my favorite things!

Goin to loveland tomorrow if any of you CO homies are in.

Gonna do some "low altitude" mini rippin in Michigan next week too!!


WOO! I LOVE WINTER!

I would quote this whole thread if i could and say,.........'I HAAAAAAAATE YOU!!!" I would trade the ocean for the mountains any day of my life, shiat I need to get out to colorado real soon

I was going to head up to the local hill here (Mountain Creek), but I couldn't find my gloves. Yes, that was the hold up. Fortunately, I found them since, but now the Xterra is in the shop. Hoping to go tomorrow.

Great pics, everyone.

I'd love to leave NJ to live in Colorado. Anyone got a job for me out there? :D

Went Yesterday. It was COLD!!! and the wind gusts were up to 50 mph.

so needless to say it was pretty brutal out.

The nice part though....the wind was blowing snow around a LOT...so there were all sorts of fluffy stashes. and evertime you cut a new line....it was filled back in nby the time you made it back up!!

All in all....rad day.

Went up today, great powder!

Man I wanna be there! I love winter!!!

Beard-cicles RULE!

Yep I'm really glad I live somewhere cold and snowy!

Steeze, do you have an AT setup or do you snowshoe or something?

Just found this thread and only have one pic of a fun little log ride but now that I know its here Il be sure to keep track of my days.

I got to Blue Knob, its about 20 min from my house. Kinda small but its got the longest runs in PA and when we get snow (key word is "when") its awesome. Obviously doesnt even compare to where you guys are going out west but we make due with what we have haha.

Iv been out west once to Jackson Hole and it was incredible. Im so jealous of you guys and hopefully can go out again.

Been up to BK a lot and its been one of our better years, just got some snow this past weekend so the woods riding was awesome.

Heres a cool little log ride I was hitting:

Nice!

Steeze, do you have an AT setup or do you snowshoe or something?

Whats an AT setup?

Im assuming your talking about how I get out there in the backcountry.. We actually park at the bottom of loveland pass and hitchhike to the top, usually in the back of a truck.

From the top we can either hike up higher or ride down...

I have snowshoes but I rarely use them

Gotcha. An AT setup allows for backcountry and downhill skiing, the bindings can be switched to allow your heel to rise like cross country skis. You put skins on the bottom of the skis which are a one-way fabric that sticks insanely well to the skis. You can go anywhere with this setup! Then when you're ready to go down, just take off the skins and switch the bindings and you're good to go!

Edit- there is also a similar setup with a snowboard- it is two pieces that clip together into one board but it works like skis when apart. I've been out with people with both setups and they all work amazing. Hard to find somewhere that will mount them though

Ya I know what your talking about but I just use a regular snowboard and a backpack

Andreas (ALifeLessHorizontal) and I went out to LoveLand yesterday. Got some good runs in for sure. Windy......but that's just loveland I suppose.

See if this works.....it's pretty sweet in GoogleEarth.

that map should be showing our tracks....but i feel like it's not. I'll see if i can fix it

I don't have dates, but early season I rode Breck, Loveland, and Winterpark, a day each. Since I've been back in CO after winter break I've been riding Steamboat almost every day.
