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.

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.

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-)

Toboggoning down a hill... Wooooo!

 

 

 

...

I'm going somewhere (don't know exactly where yet) in the Swiss alps for a week after Christmas :D

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:

I've been snowboarding for about 7 years now. I'm actually now an instructor, the $14/h wage is awesome ^_^

Ive been skiing for like 5-6 years. Cant wait for the mountain to open up.

Hopefully I'll be going to Japan in December for some snowboarding. I live in Australia so it's Summer. -.-

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 :(

I can't wait, I think this will be my 10th year skiing.

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.. :)

never gone skiing or snowboarding before but a good friend of mine is taking me pretty soon, i cant wait :D

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.

 

 

 

What kind of boards do you all have?

thanks, burton's equipment is usually good.

 

 

 

As for snow, theres still none here in the southwest :( :oops:

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

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

Ride bindings are okay. 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.

My helmet has "speakers" in it:) It's nice!

I can't help you much with what board you should get, since i ski, and only once...but i loved it and i'm going over xmas break :)

 

 

 

in 21 days i'll be skiing \

Skiings already going where i live. Skiing for 3ish years now. Twintips ftw, and skiing backwards down bunny hills = 8-)

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.

*is VERY jealous*

 

 

 

I can't complain though i'm set for this year with my new board bindings boots gloves and socks (lets hope my jacket + pants still fit)

Nice. What kind of helmet is it?

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
