snowboard talk/BS

I was actually looking at that one today. Seems legit all the stuff I've been reading, the simplicity of adjusting it is pretty sweet.

 

yeah and just the way you can set up ur bindings is sick its not limited u can do it how ever you like angle front to back and width it just makes it feel alot more controlable imo

 

Definitely. Shit I didn't know Bear Mtn opened up two days ago...I'm hittin it up tomorrow!

 

First day of the year! Killington had a patch of snow to play on

 

i saw you’r pic in live. i got mad. lol we still don’t have snow.

 

haha really? I was there all day saturday. I'd say it was definitely worth the 6 hour drive to get on some snow in november

 

1st time snowboarding tonight and it was a blast!!

 

sweet! how does the body fill? sore? brake/crack any thing?

 

I live in Sacramento and board up in Tahoe every winter. I just bought a Tacoma to ensure that I can make it up the mountain more often this year. I have a Lib Tech I got cheap last year from one of the guys who works for them. I'll take a picture of it when I get home and post it up here.

yeah i wint for ly first time in ’09 and this past season i went 3 times. this is my first winter with my truck. i drove are scion XB before. lol

 

Nice! You'll be able to hit the mountain way more often now.

Here's the board I got last year. It's a TRS C2-Power Banana Tech Magne-Traction Lib Tech board. That's a long name.

 

@skidrowe yeah i will. i never took it up last year. mom would not let me. i wet with my cousin and his wife. (they ski) and i went with my brother.

 

i heard sugar opened like 2 days ago.

 

vegas ski and snowboard opens the 18th

 

Cant go wrong with any of the mervin manufacturing boards. I have a lib tech skate banana and a gnu riders choice. Both are awesome boards. This year I'm riding a neversumer, but I'd buy another mervin board in a heart beat.

This neversummer is kicking ass though.. saturday was so much fun. stiff enough to charge hard but flexy enough to jib around and have fun. and its got pop for days.

 

I'm happy with it. I had been boarding for the last 10 years with an ancient K2 double wide. I think those boards were made in '95. The change in technology since then is amazing. This board turns itself with very little input from me. My old one required me twist and flex and put forth all kinds of effort to maneuver it. Riding in the pow now is a whole new experience too. I don't have to try so hard to keep the front of the board from burying itself because this one just floats.

 

sweet board i got same exact one. little too stiff for my taste but gets the job done!

 

Hit up wolf creek in pagosa springs CO this past weekend and got dumped on! The amount and quality of powder up there is just simply rediculous! I caught my back edge bombing down treasure and thanks to the pow walked away clean

 

Crystal Mountain in Washington is opening Friday. I think I feel a cough coming on....

I also rock the Lib-Tech! 165 Skunk Ape MTX/BTX.


I'm thinking about picking up a 1986 Snow Mullet as a powder board.

 

I was on a sabbatical last year during December/January. I went up to Crystal with a friend and it was dumping powder for a week instead of the wet snow they usually have. It was awesome. We also went up to White Pass and were going to Hurricane Ridge, but it was closed. I also got to go to Taos in New Mexico. It felt like a skiers mountain and I didn't think it was anything special. Tahoe and Utah are still the best places to board out of the places I've been. I'm going to have to hit Whistler to see what that's all about next.
