just saw this...belt with screwdrivers and a bottle opener.

 

hopefully there will be some boards in it soon

 

Pretty sweet. Even has a few size wrenches. $45 is steep though.

 

yea i really can't justify spending that much on a belt either

 

nice belt. hell i need a new belt. i looked at some yesterday for like $30 at american eagle.

 

thought about it, but i wanted to get some more boards under my feet before a big purchase. this way, i can just pay for my season pass with the funds i would have spent on this board

 

snow in the forecast all next week for the higher elevations...its about time, lets start building that base! SO PUMPED






also, anyone in here from SLC that is an expert all mountain rider and knows the best spots? Possibly even some out of bounds type stuff?

 

New Ride Capo bindings, New Burton Ion boots!!!! cant wait to get the setup on the snow

 

you going this weekend at all?

 

nah man, i still think its to early. I usually get a day or two in before thanks giving but i dont like waiting in lines for the white ribbon of doom!!!!!

 

pic?

 

Went out on the splitboard up at Mt. Rainier yesterday. Climbed up to 9,000' at which point I was gassed! Knee to waist deep mix of wind buffed/blower pow for the ride down . . . Not bad for 23 OCT.

 

Ill post pics once its all together, red ride capo bindings, k2 darkstar, burton ion boots. Right now i have an old pair of ride SPI's or ride delta's on it.

 

yea I heard rainier was riding good after these storms. any pics or vids?

 

I have some pics and my buddy is putting together what looks like it will be a pretty cool time lapse video of the day. I will post soon.

 

I posted this in the tits thread but also had to share it here, since its snowboard related


About 5 days ago we had our first snowfall in Boise and the mountains got about 5 or 6 inches, so I headed up just to play in the snow and see it for the first time this season and I brought my board and gear and a shovel in hopes there was some jib stuff left up there in the usual spot. This spot is a Forrest service access road on a hill about a mile from the resort, that everyone always sets up pipes and rails and jibs on. I went up there with the intent to play around on my own and didn't expect to see anyone up there on a Friday after noon with only 6" of snow.

But sure as shit I get up there and I see these 2 kids with skis that were just getting there. I ask em if they are setting up some jibs and they say yes, so I ask if I could join them. They of course said yes. So I get the shovel and we get to work setting up some pipes. After a little while I find out that there are more people coming up there. And before I know it there were 16 people up there all doing some pre season riding on 2 pipes and a rail we had set up. After it got dark one of the guys brought a grill and I ended up cooking hot dogs up there in the dark (lit up the area with my off road lights) on this forest service road after doing some pre season riding with this huge group of people of random people I just met that after noon. It has literally been the best way I have ever kicked off a season. Tons of fun!
