booyah

I've ridden damn near all of the Colorado mountains, I use to compete with the Winter Park snowboard team.

Snowboarding is my passion you could say. I've done A LOT of competitions and ridden a hell of a lot of snowboards. I've been lucky in receiving plenty of free snowboard shit, I've worked with the reps, and coaches. I've been doin it for almost 14 years now and im only 21 so the majority of my life i've been snowboarding and skating.

Right now I've got an elevation 154 forward series with the new burton missions and DC boots, I've also got another salomon setup with burton freestyle bindings and 32 boots. The girlfried rocks a Burton Feelgood 152, with salomon bindings and 32 boots.

I have a couple more rock boards and a couple hanging on the wall as art pieces. Ill see if I can find any pics...

Oh and in high school some buddies and I got permission to have the our first ever high school rail jam. We got Winter Park to bring 2 tons of snow and a couple rails from their terrain park, we got scaffolding donated for a start ramp. A bunch of companies like Smith, DC, Wahoo's fish tack, 686, section, ride, bakoda, northwave, flow, and drake just to name a few all donated free gear and we threw it out to the crowd. It was an awesome event and my old high school still does the competition but it's a much bigger event now. It was my best memory of high school...

damn steezy...intensely jealous of you....

i've always wanted to hit up CO and the west coast, ever since my bro went out to mammoth a while back...i saw the pics, and i was hooked...maybe one day i'll get out there

as far as park riding/technical stuff....i hit small kickers, tables, rails...but thats about it...i never had the time, money, or balls to attempt any serious shit...i just enjoy hopping on a lift, getting to the top, strapping the right foot in and bombing down the mountain as fast as i can...thats it...

Ya dude I use to spend entire weekends hiking the park jibbing rails and hitting jumps, not so much anymore though. I still like to screw around in the park but I'd rather be in the trees these days.

well early february you gotta show me around some spots dude.

oh, and cocktails on the chairlift always make the day more enjoyable

yeah.....it's gonna be strange getting used to such long lift rides!

I swear on my life the best snowboarding in CO happens at Mary Jane. I showed up their yesterday at 10:30 parked for free, hopped on the six pack lift and was shredding some crazy powder by 11. The best part is when your all done dropping insane cliffs and navigating gnarley shutes and trees you can literally snowboard to your X and un-strap at your door.

Remember I take my time and sleep in a bit so I got their late, if you show up early you get better parking. A lot of people will set up BBQ's, bring their dogs and cookout right next to the catwalks, its a super fun atmosphere.

I promise you there is no better way to go snowboarding than that..

Screw bus rides and $20 parking for some tourist destination ski spot (vail, breck, copper, aspen, keystone just to name a few) ;-) I hate that shit if you can't tell..

Corporate ass holes ruin ski resorts

i'm down

Plus Berthoud pass is way better than I70 and the tunnel traffic..

how close will i be to the WP area?

from Vail?

i'll be back and forth between there and snowmass

Its about an hour and half from vail which is how long it takes me from Boulder.

thats not too bad for a day trip. I'll have to remember to bring my little propane grill with me!

Ya I want to weld up a hitch mounted grill...

yeah...i was thinkin about something like that.....but might just make it a table of sorts so i have some place to do emergency tune ups or wax if needed.

Ya the platform I built has been the best thing ever for snowboarding, I can throw all my shit in the back and we have enough room to put boots on etc. It works real well...

VA:

Used to snowboard til I seriously injured myself so went back to skiing as my passion.

I have been skiing for over 8 years now. My main preference is freestyle skiing. Right now I am sporting 08 seths with STH 16 Salomon bindings. I basically love being one of the few good freestyle skiiers at the terrain park. I have skiied almost every place in colorado except for Wolf Creek and that is just due to the long freaking drive.

I went snowboarding about 2 years ago. Ive been about 6 times since then.

Ive boarded at:
North Carolina at Cataloochee
Colorado at Winter Park and Wolf Creek

I don't have my own set up yet but I may get one off craigslist or something as Snowboarding Season wears down so I can get a pretty good set up for a good deal for next year. I used a Burton Custom X (07) 164cm and really liked it so I may try to get one similar to it.

I think we need to get a bunch of people to meet up in CO next winter and have a big CX party or something.

Wolf Creek is awesome and Id highly recommend it. However they dont have any freestyle stuff. Just some moguls and there are people that will make jumps here and there. But I really like it there plus its pretty affordable.

i ride a ride dh 2009

i have been too:

.stowe vt
stratton vt
killington vt
pico vt
whistler
mountain creek.nj
hiddenvalley nj
bigboulder,pa
hunter mt,ny
windom,ny
mamouth,ca
mt hood,oregon

thats about it i think there may be more

I've never ski'd a day in my life but I love riding with skiers, especially backcountry. Back in the day I use to chill and shred with a bunch of freestyle skiers mad respect for some of those guys.

Any one been to snowboard camp? I went to HCSC and Windells in high school Oregon is sick!

i actually went to hcsc last summer and def. plan to go again this summer in august sometime! its soo much fun!

Alright.

Brian, We meander to avoid all the boarders sitting on thier asses in the middle of the slopes. lol

how much are tix there? i'm gonna wanna take the wife out on the 31st. you should come show us around

Tix aren't as high as the other resorts, maybe $60, Im not sure I have a season pass. Im definitely down to show you around MJ, Although until I finish this re-model Im going to have to limit the shredding to only sundays... slightly depressing.

nice pics brudda

Anyone planning some spring shredding..

Stu we still need to ride together, let's figure out a day.

BTW my friend and I were driving around town and spotted this sweet pile of snow under a Target parking garage. We got out and ended up jumping off of it, sorry it's cell phone quality and I only had one shot.

got out for the last run of the season last weekend...was on the 50's all day at windham....the snow sucked but it was nice to ride in a hoodie all day :)

Dude it's only March, March has got to be 1 of the best months for snowboarding. You can't call it quits now... Spring skiing is the best skiing

maybe out there, but by mid march snow is pretty much gone, or completely iced over...

all of the mountains out here stop grooming in march...when i went last weekend, they hadn't groomed all week....most mountains closed this past weekend or this coming weekend....its over :(

Oh damn I had no idea east coast mountains close that early.. Most of CO mountains close late april early may and some even stay open through June if the snow stays. I'll usually get 2 or 3 backcountry trips in May and June after the resorts close. I really enjoy shredding in nice weather, I always end up with the gnarliest goggle tan though.

you around the NJ area?

typically the end of march is the latest we'll make it out here (thats meaning the PA NY NJ area, upper Maine NH and VT are usually open later). A late cold snap or snowstorm can push it till april but the latest I've skiied on the east coast was april 15th @ hunter thanks to a late winter cold snap and hunter making tons of snow to stay open that late due to thier energy contract works.

you around the NJ area?

fall and winter approaching, what are everyone's plans for the season? any big trips? i'll be up in the NH/VT area (cannon, mt snow) this winter, its a nice area around there (beastly snow storms)

i just bought my buddie's burton bullet 159
http://www.planet-sports.de/images/products/large/l_burton_bullet_snowboard_159cm.jpg

any suggestions on bindings? i haven't set a board up in a while, but i remember burton used to use their own hardware pattern and plates for their bindindgs (burton bindings only on burton boards)...do they still do that? whats a decent freeride binding?

I fuggin' dig boarding. I'm a total noob since I live in Indiana. I was in CO last winter and went to Steeze's favorite joint, Keystone. :D
It may be the suck for the locals but I was just happy to be there. I've hit a couple small places before but it was my first time to be somewhere with significant slopes. Had a blast; I would love to live out there and ride with the locals. I'm sure there are some sweet spots. Maybe one day.

Chuck

Brian for Cannon make sure you take WARM stuff. I skiied there 2 years ago and there's a reason they call it the Icebox of the north east. Its freakin COLD. I didnt leave any skin exposed besides my nose.

i live in missouri but there is some decent "mountains" here in the ozarks when it snows
i ride a burton big foot cause of my size 13.5s with infidel bindings,
i guess i kinda did the same thing steeze did, cept with a whole lot less sponsors, kids, and school permission lol, we went around to all the ice rinks in the st louis area and took the snow from the zambonis and made a ramp in one of the school parking lots, my buddy pulled me in his jeep liberty and i hit the ramp at about 30mph lol landed gracefully till i hit the curb, good times

I plan on shredding the day the mountains get a decent snow storm... I usually hit loveland pass before halloween.

BTW Brian, I would go with Burton Custom or Mission bindings.... those are the best bindings Burton makes and I ride the mission's myself. They are awesome bindings....

I've been riding for 10 years, I have a Morrow with old ass flow bindings and a SIMS Absolute 158 with PINK burton cartel's... I swore i would never use anything but FLows but im in love with my burton bindings...
Rode at
Breck, CO
Keystone, CO
Vail, CO
Copper, CO
All HILLS in IOwa
Some hills in Minnesota

Just moved to Tennessee so I will check out these mountains this winter!!!

I wonder if there's a Louisiana Snowboarding Team?
We had about 2" of snow last year, first time in about 5 years.
There's Mount Driscoll (I think its peak is at 500 feet asl, not exactly a 14'er...).

[QUOTE]

are you going to make it detachable? also couldnt you just jib the exo?

I am very excited for this season to fire up- this little slowdown at work should open up some midweek riding days for me!!!

I may be a little light on the cash but the time is priceless!!! I have been skiing since I was a kid, and riding for the last 10 years

I have 2 set ups depending on condish:

#1) steep and deep: 164 Arbour roundhouse/burton mission's

#2) early/late season + sessions + feeling a little reckless: 157w endeavor live series.

Living up here in Edmonton, Alberta- Canada I have access to many of the resorts in the rockies within a half day drive.

Sunshine Village- Banff AB
Lake Louise- AB
Kicking Horse- Golden BC <- this place is my favorite, fuez bowl FTW
Big white- Kelowna BC
Marmot Basin- Jasper AB
Silverstar- Vernon BC
Mount Washington- Van. Island BC
Revelstoke- Revy. BC
Castle mountian- AB, Diamond in the rough if the snow is fresh, never busy
Big Mountian- Whitefish MT- the only US hill I have had the pleasure of riding.

I picked up some new soft gear for this season, and a few of my buddies have just upgraded some gear also- we are all stoked!!

This year I have a group of about 20-25 headed to Jasper for new years. All the guys and gals pack up, head to the mountains and ride/party for the week after xmas and have a crazy NYE party.....soo much fun!



PS- If any club xer's see a dude with a red 2001 grilling some burgers in the lot of any of the above mentioned hills around lunch time, I always have a couple extra's- feel free to come on over for a free lunch.

anyone shred anything good lately? post some pics

unfortunately i haven't gotten out yet this season(lame), but i have a sick trip planned with my buddies in january for lake placid, should be nuts

also, anyone have a basic pair of bindings they're lookin to sell? i just bought a used board from a friend and it needs bindings, and i dont feel like shelling out for new gear

WhiteFace Mountain NY FTW

I've gotten 22 days in so far...

Planning to hit up Colorado sometime in Jan, other than that just local Santa Fe, Angel Fire. I have a 163 Arbor Roundhouse, Ride RX bindings and Vans Encore boots.

Shawnee Mt.

no line no wait .. even on the weekends. smaller than the big names, but just as fluffy.

What's up fellow snowboarders. No pro here, just an average recreational rider with a freestyle board lol.

I usually go to Liberty in PA, Whitetail in PA, and Winter Wisp in MD.. Long to go where there's lots of real powder... Places like CO, Utah, Tahoe. Does anyone know good places on the east coast.. within 3 hours of northern Virginia... if farther than that, then places worth a 4 hour drive or more?

Gear:
158 Arbor Del Rey
K2 Indy Bindings
Burton Hail Boots

there are some great spots in the poconos/adirondacks, but its up to you on whether they are worth the drive...i dont mind driving a 3 hours or more just because i hate going to the same spots over and over and over, so i try to sample as many mountains as i can

if you have the time for a long drive(probably 8 hours or so from you) i'd highly recommend some vermont or upper NY mountains...the entire presidential mountain range throughout VT/NH is littered with great terrain like Loon or Cannon mountains... just as awesome is Mt. Snow in VT, or Whiteface/Lake Placid....i just got back from a weekend trip to Placid a few weeks ago, and the mountain is just epic...sure its not nearly the size of most spots in the Rockies or the west coast, but definetly some of the biggest on the east coast

Nice, it would probably be good to do a weekend trip for some of those places up north. I'll look for some good rental houses or cabins.. Winter Wisp in Maryland is a hike for me (4.5 hrs) and me and my friends (usually between 15-25 of us pitching in) have a yearly tradition of getting a huge vacation house for the weekend and some of us hit the slopes out there

definetly look into a bigger mountain then, like whiteface, killington, mt snow, or stowe....all those places have great nightlife and rentals in the area aren't too bad...3 nights(2 of which were weekend = more $$) at econo lodge for 3 people was $330, and that was about 1/4 mile from the main street with all the bars

Been riding 6 years, since I was 11.
Current setup is '09 Gnu rider's choice BTX with Flux zipper bindings and DC boots.

I have ridden:

PA:
Liberty
Roundtop
Whitetail

WV:
Canaan Valley
Bryce

NY:
Whiteface
Gore Mtn.

NH:
Pat's peak
Sunapee

Anyone that rides in the Northern VA/MD/PA area should come out to Liberty tomorrow, I'm probably heading out there.

what type of board racks does everyone use? i have a thule 4 board rack, i think its called a widemouth?

do you guys just toss your boards in the x?

I use the yakima powderhound... fits 4 boards just fine

I have a Thule 4 board rack that doesn't actually fit my crossbars, I had to get longer bolts.

rollin the same as steeze, powderhound ftw

Good to see all these fellow riders here!

My setup: board is a rome graft sds, bindings are ride lx, and the boots are also ride!

Iv been shreddin for 13 years now and ride for the midwest best and usasa so iv been around!

Unfortunately i spend most of my time ridin the local hills in wisconsin but iv also ridin at most of the resorts in colorado: copper, brec, a-basin, loveland, steamboat springs, winter park ect...

As for my choice of board rack i use the yakima powderhound

I ran skis in high school and switched to snowboards after I joined the navy. Still using an old K2 board with clicker bindings. Haven't been out since year before last due to military deployments, this year will be no different :(
Oh yeah, grew up on Mt. Hood, Oregon.

Mt. Hood (OR) (Timberline and Meadows mostly)
Big Bear (CA)
Mammoth (CA)
Steven's Pass (WA)

Usually drive my frontier or subaru when up in the mountains. Now that I have an X I will probably mount my Yakima rack to it.

I'll be out in Steamboat springs next year for school, I'll definitely be doing more riding out there.

Wisp MD
Whitetail PA

I snowboarded a lot in high school but it doesn't work out very well with college baseball. Ask me again in a couple years when I'm done with baseball and have time.

Glad to see so many snowboarders on here!

I've been riding about 7 years now. Mostly at Mountain Creek, NJ, where I get a season pass.

Other places:
Shawnee Mt, PA
Windham, NY
Killington, VT
Stratton, VT
Sugarbush, VT
Breckenridge, CO
Vail, CO
Keystone, CO
Copper Mt, CO

and the one time I left the country:
Swiss Alps (Jungfrau region)

I currently have a Never Summer Legacy 159 (made by folks in CO who know their winter sports!), 32 boots, and Sonic bindings.

I have to get a snowboard rack for the Xterra before winter comes!

I shred the gnar in Utah bitches! I have been riding for 14 years now and my dream is to go up to Haines Alaska and do some heli boarding. Hands down some of the best boarding you will ever get is in Utah, and Colorado. We get the dry fluffy powder that no one else gets. It's the closes feeling you can get to flying.

Just turned 20 in June.

Sponsored snowboarder at the age of 15 and pro skier at the age of 19. (Don't Ask, HAHA!
I was home-schooled in high school to travel for shredding.
I won't name the actual resorts because there's too many but probably around 15 different countries and who knows how many different states. (Don't be jealous, jet lag absolutely kills and my sleeping patterns are effed up.)
I shred about 10-11 months out of the year (sounds amazing but it can be exhausting at times...)
I'm based in Breckenridge, CO and I am taking my first summer off in years... It feels good. And more time for taking the X on the trails!

Good to see the large number of shredders!!!

Wow thats pretty cool! Im 20 too, and ive always dreamed of a lifestyle like yours. Hope your summers been great so far :)

I only wish I had an Xterra when I was 20. Heck, I wish I was snowboarding when I was 20!

Not sure how I missed this thread...

I am both a snowboarder and a telemark skier. Picked up tele about 5 years ago for better backcountry access.

My board is a Ride Fleetwood 163cm with Technine bindings (by far the best binding in the business bomb proof and a lifetime no questions warranty)

My inbounds Tele set-up is a pair of K2 Fujitives with Rottefella R8s

I also just bought a brand new pair of Black Diamond Verdicts for the deep stuff

I work as a professional patroller for Snowy Range Ski Area but when I am not there I ski Grand Targhee or the unlimited backcountry provided by living in the snowy range mtns/ CO front range.

Will

I strap one board to each of my feet and face forward. I'm really terrible when you strap my feet together on one stick.

I've been to every resort in UT numerous times. Including Alta and Deer Valley, so there!

Including Alta and Deer Valley, so there!

Nice. Although not the way to make friends in this group. See you must talk slow and use small words for us snowboarders to understand. Also pictures drawn in crayon help a lot.

For some dumb reason I decided on taking on snowboarding back in HS when I live Chicago area. There nothing but a few ski resorts around a 4 hr drive away. But I did make a trip out to Jackson Hole A few years ago. That was amazing. I just got a Old 04 Ride board and bindings.

can't wait for this season to start up, hoping to get out west and maybe canada

Hey man if you make it out west come up to Steamboat! The mountain is so sick!

WhiteFace Mountain NY FTW
Hell yeah man, I've gone there a couple of times.

we did a trip to whiteface this past winter, it was an epic time...

the mountain is sick, and the town has some great nightlife

If anyone wants to come out to WNC, we got like some small mountains... sorry, trying to build a mountain oout of a mole hill.

we have Beach, Sugar, and App, then Wolf Laurel (woot >_<)

If you come out here, let me know and we'll shred together

Im at 18 now started skiing when I was 5 then switched over to snowboarding when I was about 8. Im from PA and my home mountain is Blue Knob. Iv also been to 7 Springs PA alot, Hidden Valley PA a few times, Holiday Valley, NY, Snowshoe, WV, Wisp, MD and Jackson Hole, WY one of the best places to go. The snow is incredible and my buddy's uncle lives out there and he rides for Burton so he knew all the best places to go and had a ton of connections.

As for boards I have two ride now a Ride DH with Beta bindings and a Burton Custom with Cartels on it. I used to ride a Burton Malolo also which is incredible in powder I felt like I was surfing but i had to sell that board.

Hey man when I come home for winter break I'll probably ride at 7 springs a couple of times. We should go ride!
Right now I live in Ski Town USA, Steamboat Springs Colorado.

i ride a 156W libtech skate banana, with ride lx bindings with thirtytwo boots
years riding: 5, i know not a lot but im only 18

I've got a 155 Ride Decade with Flight Tomcat bindings. Kinda out dated but it gets the job done and I don't have very much free time to ride anymore so I can't justify springing for a new board when I want so many parts for the X.

- Summit / Bear Mtn. (CA)
- Mtn High (CA)
- Mammoth (CA)
- Brian Head (UT)
- Snowshoe (WV)
- Sugar Mtn. (NC)
- In front of my college dorm with 4 truck loads of snow, a rail, flat box and 2 kegs!

154.5 Gnu Riders Choice BTX, Flux bindings, DC Boots.

1st... Mervin mfg is the shit.
2nd... I had LXs on my first board, those things are unbreakable.

That is all.
You should come up to ride steamboat sometime bro. Bring the X up here and chill!
I'm 18 too, freshman in college. Riding for 6 years... but east coast riding.

Hello most bodashious post of wonderfullness!

I strap my Rome Folsom boots to some nice mission bindings and screw them into my 159 Rome anthem.

I hit up a good amount of the north east. Mount snow, Waterville, exc...

Home mountain is a hole in the ground called Yawgoo. No really, it's a valley!

I've been teaching there for almost 10 years.

Anyone Wana shread hit me up. I'm mostly a free rider but can dabble in the parks on occasion.

Hey man when I come home for winter break I'll probably ride at 7 springs a couple of times. We should go ride!
Right now I live in Ski Town USA, Steamboat Springs Colorado.

yea thatd be sick...7 springs is a really nice place to ride but ud love my home mtn blue knob. its about 20 min from where i live which is like an hour and a half from 7 springs. Blue knobs runs are about twice as long as 7 springs and we have some more difficult terrain which makes for some pretty fun riding. The down side is our terrain park is nothing compared to the ones 7 springs has but if ur like me and love the woods and looking for powder then youd love blue knob after a nice snow storm.

Basically everything from vail to sunrise in colorado. I love to ride, except now with my back injury I can't. Let me tell you how much it is going to suck to drive my friends to the mountains so they can ride while I am forced to sit at the bar and hit on all the ladies....

Wanted to bump this thread since the season is upon us...

Also wanted to throw it out there I've got a pair of 32 snowboard boots, brand new, size 10.5 If anyone wants them... retail well over $130. I'l sell for $75... PM me if your interested.

I've yet to get any days in... which is unlike me. Since I'll be leaving for the navy and the baby and all I didn't get a pass this year.... total bummer

got my new Burton Custom board in TODAY....so pumped to hit the slopes ASAP

I'll be riding Breck tomorrow, if all goes as planned.
I might be interested in your boots, my DCs are on their last leg.
I've got about 6 days in so far.

I'm a Skier, I can ski better than I can walk been in 2 planks since I was 3 years old so been up on the mountain for 17 years! I roll K2 public enemies with rossi 10 bindings and rossi boots had them forever cant remember which ones...... Oakley Assault everything! I've been down every mountain in Colorado except Telluride and Wolf Creek. Big into the park these days (all my friends were or are on the CU Boulder Freestyle Ski Team) but my favorite is finding the good pow and mogul lines. Favorite line is the Onion roll up on the back side of copper threw a lincoln loop up my senior year of highschool and that was the last time I went upside down.

Haha I knew there ad to be a thread round here like this.

Well most if not all the northern NE mountains. Got Tremblaunt and Mt St Ann up in Canada as well. Sadly have never been graced with the beautiful powder of the west.


I teach snowboarding and have been doing that for almost 11 years. (stared helping at 12).

My ridin setup is a Rome Anthem 159 board with the new mission bindings and the Folsom boots.

I've got two teaching boards, a K2 and a liquid. Kids car really &@#*% up your shit. Haha.

I mostly freeride. I love setting my edge and riding as fast as I can just cuttin huge smooth turns. ( god I'm in withdrawal)

If anyone down in the NE hit me up!

:wink-big:

Anyone here a regular at Mountain Creek (NJ)? I spent all afternoon yesterday (New Year's Eve) up to the time they closed the lifts (10 pm) riding the trails there. It was a great time; so few people there. Many times I rode down I had the place to myself.

My only disappointment was that I was riding alone. But the rush made up for it!

I'm a Jersey Local. Currently have not hit the slopes YET this season.

Heres my list:

My style is all about mountain terrain, triple diamonds, heavy tree runs and fresh pow.

We'll start with the babies.

Mountain Creek (NJ)
Hunter Mountain (NY)
Sugarbush (VT)
Killington (VT)
Mt Snow (VT)
Mont Tremblant (Canada)
Aspen Mountain (CO)
Aspen Snowmass

There is more lol, but my mind eludes me of all the names.

Got a Ride Kink 153 Wide about 3 weeks ago, be shredding ever since. My old Burton Dom, was a boat of a board.. all you do is cruise. If you are a jib fan this thing locks on to rails better than a train. Where I board, Wolf Laurel, there is no park, so we just launch off of the rollers. The Kink handles itself really well.

Haven't been to mountain crack in a few years....lift tickets gotta be, what, like $70 now? and its a garbage mountain

Going up to VT in two weeks with my buddies....hitting Stratton, okemo, and killington...should be a good time

Steamboat, huh?
You plan on making it out there this year? If so, let me know. I live in steamboat and would love to ride with another X-er.

If you wanna trek down this way Dylan...I'll go rip Loveland with ya

I've ridden loveland before.
Fun shit. I won't be back in CO for another week or so, but once I'm back I'm down.

We should try and do a back country trip to either berthoud or loveland pass...

In fact I'll just set a date and see who all can make it... Im thinking Sunday January 23rd.. Anyone have any preference between loveland and berthoud? I've ran both many many times and know all the good spots.

Stu? Dylan? you guys down?

Ooh backcountry. I did a week long outward bound trip up by Leadville. I'm not the best hiker (kind of a fat kid) but I'm down.

I'm on board

Don't worry Dylan....I've been out of work for 4 months. Hittin the chubby mark lately too. should be good though.

We'll probably get more hitch-hike traffic on Loveland Pass no?

There about the same...

If you guys want we can hike the outer rim of loveland pass.. it's about a 2 hour hike, 12,000 ft, crazy wind and cold, avalanche danger, but well worth all the epicness of dropping in on one of the craziest bowls in CO... probably the hardest hike I've ever done though... the altitude, gear, and sometimes extreme conditions make it a very intense hike...

There's about a 6' cirque that drops into a super steep bowl with tons of snow, cliffs, rocks, everything you'd expect from a backcountry bowl.. Once you clear the bowl it's more cliffs and ledges till you hit the trees. Then it's pretty much tight trees all the way to the bottom.

I've wanted to do it one more time before I leave. I guess we can decide based on the conditions that day... if your into that kind of riding of course

I'd like to get out to CO (Heck, I'd love it if I could move out there!), but right now I can't afford it. :(

Cancelled my lab last Wednesday because of a snow storm so me and a buddy hit the road to Stratton. It was the nicest day I've been, out probably a foot and a half of fresh powder on every trail! I still fall all the time but whatever, got down my first black diamond too!

Snowboarding is addictive. Apparently anything that involves white powder is!

We need a support group. We'll all meet at a mountain, right at the base of the lift chair!

Wow, ten months since the last post here, and it was from me!

Well, this year is gonna be better, since I got new tires and a Thule rack for the snowboard. I'm also working a second job so I can pay down debt, save up some money, and move out west and get a real job!

(and go snowboarding at much better mountains! )

I've been addicted to the white powder for a long time...

sigh, time to start planning my annual outing, a.k.a. the only time I'll see a mountain this season

Skier, but no meander-er. 40 years on two planks now (I'm 45). Grew up skiing/racing in NM and CO. One of the dudes I grew up with skiing now owns the biggest/best heli-skiing leases, in chugach range, AK. (google O2 heliskiing and/or "the steep life"

The crazy stuff is behind me, but I'll still push it. Mountain list:
everything in NM, TAOS is one of my fave places anywhere. I keep a season pass for pajarito, my home mountain
CO: wolf creek telluride copper vail crusty butt Durango others less memorable
CA: alpine meadows kirkwood the crappy soCal mts
UT: snowbird Alta

It's snowing right now in NM. YEE-AAHHH!

I picked up a LibTech SkateBanana BTX 2010-2011 and some Rome 390's this year. I went and rode it, and then sold all three of my other boards..

Anyone else pick up new gear for this year?

I'm planning to go to heavenly jan20th 2012 for my 4th straight year.... No new gear but I have a yakima fatcat goes right on to the cross bars and supports 4 boards

You lived in Steamboat? I got back kind of late in the summer, I don't suppose you ever saw my truck rolling around?

I just got my X this week so I didn't have an eye out for 'em then, but if you saw a dark blue Miata rolling around that was me.

I don't think so. Were you only there for the summer?

No winter '10-'11. Also worked as a SharpShooter.

Sup guys...new here. I'm pretty new to snowboarding, only done it off and on for maybe 5 years or so. I'm from Upstate-ish NY. Mostly I ride at Windham, Bellayre, and West mountain...went to Shawnee in PA two years ago.

I ride a Burton Indy 155. Just got a set of flow 5 bindings last year but didnt get a chance to ride on them...thinking about going out somewhere tomorrow possibly.

Can any of you guys reccommend a SUPER comfy boot? I bought a pair of Rossignol boots that are okay, but a more comfortable boot would only improve my riding experience.

Nice that was my first year in Steamboat. Honestly, chances are pretty good that we've met at some point.
My Xterra was pretty noticeable haha I'm sure you would recognize it if you saw it. No more though, I totaled it last night.

I've always been happy with DC boots, although I switched over to the Salomon Savage Boa this year, and so far they've been alright, although the footbed feels kind of narrow sometimes. I bought a pair of Union Bindings this year, and it's one of the best decisions I ever made.
