Rahila Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 well it's finally almost ski season and i cannot wait to get back on the slopes! so, tell me your plans, where are you all planning on skiing/boarding this winter and are you as stoked as I am?? I live in the southwest and cannot wait to hit up snowbowl in flagstaff, durango, maybe telluride, and possibly park city. I also am looking into getting a new board in the next couple of weeks, and I need some advice on what type to get. I'm 5'10, weigh like 145, and ride regular if that helps. http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Ski Season has already occured where I live, but that is beside the point ;) On Topic: As much as I want to go out on the snow, I don't know how to do either. I learned0 how to ski once, but it sucked, and I did not enjoy it. Ah well, I can just go up to the Indoor Snow Park, that is just 20 Minutes from where I live. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieMcD Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I'm looking forward to the non-stop rain and sleet at best here in Ireland. If we get lucky it might rain enough that we can get some good mud-boarding going 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastortoise Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I live in Montreal Quebec, so i'm only a half hour drive from all the major mountains like Tremblant, Saint-Sauveur, Sutton, ect. I know Tremblant was open this weekend, but I had to go to a party yesterday so I couldn't go. I normally go once every week with friends, my family never goes. I'm also planning on getting a new Rasta board by Technine, and some nice Vans boots. Some of my friends have chalets, so we can have a place to crash when we go for week long trips :thumbsup: I'm spoiled :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhaperPlane Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Since I have an Indoor Snow Arena, it's snow season all the time :D But I seriously want to go to Canada sometime in the future for some snowboarding. But first I will have to spend a fortune on gear :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loffelicious Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I live in Norway and I've been snowboarding for 8 years now. Possibilities are endless:D As for your board, go to a shop and ask there. And it depends how much you're spending, but Burton can't be wrong.. :) Skeletal wyvern guide: 100-150 crimsons per hour and PROFIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilev Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 never gone skiing or snowboarding before but a good friend of mine is taking me pretty soon, i cant wait :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic388 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Last season I went boarding twice and loved it. A week ago I bought all the gear + season pass which cost me ~700$. Now I'm just waiting for it to snow at the mountain.

Rahila Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 well today i went to the local skate/snowboard shop and got this baby: http://www.buckmans.com/store/images/ca ... ty_151.jpg Got some sick Ride bindings and DC boots to go along with it...and some new boarding gloves and socks (thank you combined birthday and hanukkah gift) :mrgreen: I CANNOT WAIT TO GO BOARDING THIS SEASON!!!! now all i need is a lil snow to board on :x http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickeley102 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 i skiied for 8 years but switched to boarding 5 years ago i recommend the switch (or at least give it a go) to anyone who skis, its a completely different experience and the tricks are more varied, numerous and fun, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recomment Sims ones though. They're are really nice and nearly not as costly as Burton or K2. As for me, I really want a helmet, with audio compatibility. ~Retired 10/17/07~"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." - George W.

Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Skiings already going where i live. Skiing for 3ish years now. Twintips ftw, and skiing backwards down bunny hills = 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 There's not really any snow in Florida, or mountains either, but I remember one time, when I lived in Colorado, my parents took me up to Vail to ski. I went through ski school and they taught me how to ski. When it came time to actually ski I started out fine, until I had to stop. I was taught to go to "pizza formation" to break, but I ended up twisting my ankle really badly. On the brightside though, my ankle is much more flexible now.

aquariusman Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Oh god, I cannot wait until I get the chance to hit up a hill. This would be my third year skiing, and it bugs me that I wasn't able to go last weekend and I have a hockey tournament this weekend keeping me from going. Anyways, I'm in need of a new pair of skis, and I know that I am going for twin tips. Hopefully I can get the awesome colour combination of royal blue skis and yellow bindings again There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.
