Snowboarding/Skiing - 2013/14!

[kid325e]

All sorts of stoked for this season. Prepping the iX as of late.

Hey Will, we'll have to go ride together sometime.

I'm super stoked for this season. Last year sucked for me, half through the season all my shit got jacked out of my CR-V. I just bought a new AK jacket, pants, oakley crowbars, transceiver, probe and shovel. Harshed my mellow and killed my season. Over the off season picked up all new gear....again. Also picked up a 164 wide Lib-dark series and a set of Now IPO bindings as well as some Nike Vapen boa boots. Can't wait to ride with a new board this year.

As long as you dont make fun of my 5 year old POS board lol. Being poor sucks, I still have like my second board ever, a 5150 with gouges on the bottom the size of the grand canyon.

Gouges? You need to learn some board maintenance.

Get some ptex, Google the use, and fix your board! You'd be amazed what you can save.

[Mlarsen]

^ Yup. P-tex is your friend.

Don't matter what board your riding as long as you can keep up.

[Pantless Spency]

hopefully buying a new set up this year.
been riding an old ass set up since i started.

20 year old luxury board.

burton freestyles from six years ago.

and lace up 32's that are like 8 years old.

You east coast boys need to get your shit together and move out west. Ive averaged over 500+ inches and 135 days on snow the past 7 years. Feeling like this year will be a good one.

70+inches in Jackson Hole so far this year. BRING IT.

Passes - Full Season Jackson Hole pass, for free, courtesy of the upper middle management wife at JHMR.
- Full Season Snow King pass
- Green pass at Grand Targhee.

Also fucking pumped to hit one of the few resorts I have yet to conquer in the lower 48 with a Crested Butte trip in February. Its going to be rad.

[Mlarsen]

^I'll be in Jackson the end Febuary this season for about a week. Jackson hole has always be on the top of my hit list. I still need to go Silveton and Revelstoke.

[ST1G]

Bogus Basin FTW.

[AdironRider]

Revelstoke is cool, really cool, but its not what you think it is. Their massive vert is pretty useless outside of the top third if you ask me. Cool place though and the backcountry is out of this world.

Silverton is awesome but they require guides most of the year. Their one flight heli option is rad though and worth the couple hundred bucks.

[lolcantturn]

I want to roadtrip to the Colorado Beckenridge/Vail area this year from Jersey with my E30 or friend's E36 M3. Housing remains to be a bit expensive. If any r3vers would like to take me under their arms for 3 days we can pay in beer :D


Pretty much done with the east coast at this moment. I need more powder and more beauty and more excitement.

[AdironRider]

Dude Whiteface is an easy option for you and there are plenty of places out West that lack the scenery they have. Safety meetings on the little Whiteface lift with the high peaks all to yourself is pretty awesome.

If I move back East at any point, its to the Adirondacks. That place is pretty much an untouched gem for skiing, notably the slides and backcountry.

[Mlarsen]

Revelstoke is cool, really cool, but its not what you think it is. Their massive vert is pretty useless outside of the top third if you ask me. Cool place though and the backcountry is out of this world.

Yup, That's why I'd go. I'm hoping to do a trip up there next year with my friends. They do it every year but, Ive never gone because all the do is sled access stuff and uh... I don't have a sled. Hopefully next year I'll have a pickup and sled.

I might be getting a job at Keystone this season, but would be in the housing available through the resort so I doubt I could have people stay. Hotels aren't too bad in Silverthorne or Frisco, I think they are only $100 a night and 20min away from Keystone or Breckenridge.

Fixed my board a couple weeks ago and built a balance bar for pre-season training! Board had an inch gouge in the nose, ugly stuff...

2 friends and I drove up to Mt. Bachelor today and hiked all the way up to the top of the cinder cone, it was pretty crappy snow, but it was snowboarding, god dammit...

This shot isn't from today, and not nearly as much snow, but that's what we hiked up:

[Mlarsen]

I've beenwatching the webcam for bachelor religiously for the last couple weeks. I'll be down for thanksgiving weekend aka the most busy weekend ever at the mountain.
