I'm ready, hidden valley in pa opens first of December. Can't wait to get the new solamon board out, only got to ride it once last season.

Ah tis' the season!!! SO, stoked right now!! Leaving tonight for Mt Baker going to be there for 3 days. Then Monday shred Crystal Mt. AND THEN friday after Thanksgiving cruising down to Bend and Shredding Bachelor for 3 days. Life is good.

BTW, Obviously everyone go watch The Art of Flight! Some other good shred flicks coming out this year I'd recommend checking out!

[84driver]

Art of Flight was of course awesome. I might have to do some more snowboarding this year. The past couple seasons have been all about skiing, let me present a couple vids I am stoked on:

The Balance of Powder


Attack of La Nina (MSP)


All I Can


...and for some lolz, Tandem Skiing

Been walking around in my new ThirtyTwo boots for the last half hour, done 2 laps around the block now. My neighbors are all looking at me like I'm nuts.

Just need to do an edge tune and wax on my board, just picked up a sick little Burton spike mat today, too. Got my 12-day pass last week, just need a helmet!

where the fuck is the snow. fucking dammit.

where the fuck is the snow. fucking dammit.

We got a shit-ton in the mountains about a week or 2 ago, not a single flake since. I'm not going up until they get another good dumping.

Is so very necessary.

Bachelor got almost 15" over the weekend, and there were so many people yesterday that the lift lines were over 45 minutes and the sheer number of people brought the whole place almost to a standstill. I didn't go because I was working, but I'll probably go this week.

Just dropped my board off to have a base/edge tune and a wax done. I wish I had all the stuff to do it myself, but for $25, it's a whole bunch less shit I need to have set up/taking up space in my garage.

Don't know how I missed this thread till now, but I'm leaving with a bunch of friends to go up to Mont Tremblant tomorrow morning. We've been going since our freshmen year (18 yo drinking age hehe) and we always have a blast. Here's some pics I've taken in past years. We always plan our trip the same week as collegefest so there are an abundant amount of women around.







Night life here doesn't compare to any of the other east coast resorts. This place practically has its own little european-like town.





EDIT:

Oh God tuesday is going to be brutal

[dnick]

fuck dude, lol tuesday.... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that

[lambo]

Going up tomorrow :D I'm excited!

[Rustyduktape]

but this year I'll be lucky to have a few shots at Mt. Baldy.

YESSS! I might be going out to Alta the first week of March. Other than that, I have a season pass to Sugarbush in VT this year. Had my first tuning accident the other day. slit my fuckin wrist on my edges, so now I wear gloves while tuning because of course I didn't listen to my dad all the times he told me to wear gloves haha. I'll be skiing on my Fischer RC4s and my Line Blends (w/ Rossi FKS 180 bindings, best bindings ever made). I've been coaching with the alpine race team at Wachusett mtn in MA for the past few weeks, so i've had a decent amount of time on snow so far this season. It's pretty crazy to know we havnt had any snow and Wachusett has a ton of it. I heard they've been pumping out 50 million gallons of water a night to make snow. Can't wait to ski some natural stuff, haha. Have a great season everyone! no injuries, haha.

[Jand3rson]

Fucking pissed right now. Went into work to find out we don't have any installs today, knew that was going to happen, and was planning to go up, but didn't anticipate waking up with the world's worst sore throat. So now I'm stuck at home all day.
