snowboard talk/BS

the rest were in a rental (chevy traverse). of course they needed a pick up for their boards

 

Anyone else have a chance to hit up Whistler? Where have you all been? I've ridden in PA, MD, VT, CO, CA and Whistler. really want to check out WA, MT and NM. Anyone have a chance to get dropped in by a helo? My wife flies helo's for the navy and i keep telling her we need to move to the Rocky mountains and open a heli skiing operation!

 

I'm going to Whistler at the end of March

 

Awesome! i'm jealous. that was the best mountain i have been on. you can spend a solid 25 minutes riding from top to bottom without stopping (and no stupid catwalks if you dont want to) Have fun!!! take some pics and post em up when you get back

 

it'll be my first time so I don't know what to expect.

My passport just expired so I gotta take care of that asap.

 

no. got them along with board and bindings at a local shop.

lol i pray to god that was sarcasm

 

Its all about the Sintered Base that Marvin Manufacturing(GNU/Lib-Tech) has the more you wax over time the fast the board will be. The base is very pores and with take on a lot of wax. Back to your point it doesn't really need to be wax when they are brand new but it will not hurt anything.

 

I wax my board once a week, sometimes twice. Then again I use it 5-7 times a week, and on powder days it really helps stay on top of the deep. I use Bluebird all temp wax. Its been a great week out here, powder day after powder day, lots of avalanche activity out of bounds though.

 

didnt wanna clutter up MJ's thread

Went up to Kirkwood yesterday
Shitty ass 88

 

storm on the weekend 1/21/12 to Alpine Meadows

 

That is not true. Most companies only do a roll on wax just to keep the base from drying out before you get a chance to wax it yourself

 

too bad all the snow that fell in colorado is ending up at the bottom of the slopes...

taken 1/23/12...source TGR forum for berthoud pass conditions

 

Crappy edit from last weekend. Starts off on the Cat trail, then gets a little deeper.

New VZ Fishbowl's on top. Gf got them for me for my birthday. $150. Insane field of vision. Super light, Amber lens with purple mirror. Anon Hawkeyes on bottom. Nice goggles, just too dark for me. Used them once. Lol. guess i have a back up pair.

 

those are sick man. i like my electric eg2s though they are practically the same thing as the fish bowl's. its awesome being able to see so much.

 

Yeah i wanted some EG2's forever, especially the signature series ones. But could never find a lens I liked. I don't like blue and I wanted them bright. These lenses let in lot of light and I love the color. I can't even see the frame when I have them on. It's crazy. Lol
