Our place is opening up this Saturday. I'll probably wait a couple weekends before going up though... I don't enjoy skiing on slush. ;)

I am so stoked for this year! This is my second year, and I bought my own board now. (used off of a friend) and I have the replace the bindings tomorrow. (he had tiny feet, his boots are size 8, mine are 11)

 

 

 

Nevertheless, I can't wait to hit the slopes! \'

It's summer here in Australia but I'm going over to the states in couple weeks. Skiing and snowboarding are my absolute favourite things to do, I can't wait to get back on the slopes. <3:

Went snowboarding this weekend, had lots of lots of fun. Here's a couple of pics:

I'm a freerider, don't fancy big boxes and rails and such. But do have fun doing some basic spins and grabs

That's how it goes when taking drop you can't see the landing of :D :lol:

I really wish I was better at tricks. Fundamentally I'm a very good boarder, but I can barely do the most basic grabs and grinds.

I don't like rails. Never did, never will. What I like the most is half extreme free riding. Mountains, woods, drops... Sweet stuff:D

that, or you'll do what I did a few weeks ago and break your ankle in 2 places.

 

 

 

[bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep]!

 

 

 

I finally got my own [bleep]ing board this year...its my senior [bleep]ing year in high school, I WAS [bleep]ING LOVING MY NEW RIDE SOCIETY BOARD until i [bleep]ing did that [cabbage]...now what?

I've been a little scared of rails since I nearly cracked my tailbone trying a boardslide, but I'll still do them. But yeah, not quite as fun as jumps.

thanks to mitsubishi64 who made this sig

Wooooooooooooooooooo I love skiing.

 

 

 

My school's ski club started last week, so I'll be going skiing with friends every thursday until march!

 

 

 

I've been skiing for a while, and I'm pretty good if I do say so :P

 

 

 

We also have quite a bit of snow here, and it's cold as hell, so should be good conditions.

anyone checked out the 08/09 Invader ski's by line, they are freak'in sweet as anything

 

[hide=]18591.Image.1.jpg[/hide]

 

i probably would have gotten them if i hadn't gotten such a good deal on the 08/09 k2 silencers

 

[hide=]16649.Image.1.jpg[/hide]

 

i got some connections with ski patrol at a mountain near me, where im a 'curiosity patroler' which means i dont really do anything, but they let me ski for free ::' definitely look into that if your 18+ and are a weekend warrior like me

I just got back from skiing in Telluride w/ my fraternity - it was my first time skiing :o

 

 

 

My friends thought they could teach me but they were wrong so the first day out was a waste of time... second day I took lessons which lasted 5 hours and I met a cute girl there too :D The lessons apparently cost $150 but I had a voucher for 1/2... plus the instructor apparently forgot to charge me so I ended up getting a whole day's worth of skiing lessons for free \:D/

 

 

 

Became pretty decent by the time the trip was over - I was able to keep up w/ my friends from the top of the mountain :thumbsup:

I've been snowboarding in Colorado twice and honestly hated it. I sucked really bad both time (even though I took instructions both times) and came back pretty hurt. Just not my sport.

Tried to actually do something relatively interesting in my club's terrain park today. Yeah didn't turn out so well.

 

 

 

Boardslide= fell backwards and hit my [wagon] on the box (fail).

 

 

 

Nosegrab= wipe-out
