jelly of your venture....i have a 165 skunk ape i split with sparks binding setup (looks like same as you)...nice setup, but a factory split like venture makes would be amazing!

jones has some nice splits as well..had to budget build my first split though...

do you put anything on your skins when you fold it up? looks like you just put glue on glue..

nice video man....way to get after it early...is that a snowfield/glacier normally? that had some nice coverage it looked...my board is now staring at me, telling me to get the fuck out! hope this next wave brings some snow to the mtns...

 

trying to decide on a new jacket. witch do you guys like best? pants are all black Volcom BTW. so want to stay with a volcom jacket.
no real order.

#1,http://snow.volcom.com/outerwear/mens/mens-jackets/over-jacket/?color=MST
#2,http://snow.volcom.com/outerwear/mens/mens-jackets/over-jacket/?color=SLT
#3,http://snow.volcom.com/outerwear/mens/mens-jackets/tactic-jacket/?color=BKS

i like this one alright. but not sure about it.#4,http://snow.volcom.com/outerwear/mens/mens-jackets/service-4-way-stretch-jacket/?color=SLT

 

#1 and #2 are the same jacket, just different colors? Based on looks, I like #2, but #4 is a better jacket. How well does Volcom outerwear hold up? I've only worn Burton outwear and I am not too fond of their quality.

 

they are all pretty sweet. i think my favorite is number 4 followed by 2 and 3. just something to think about, i wouldnt recommend white, my friend has white pants and they are so shitty now, i think its from the fake snow and machine because they are like black now its weird.

 

yeah #1 and #2 are same one just different colors. idk how well it holds up. i have their metro pants.

hmm. did not think of that. i have black pants. i may find another jacket (maybe burton or 686 or something. i would like to have something that i can use the powder skirt, the pants have a zipper for it, and not the hooks. edit: may not use it all the time, but would like to have it for those really cold days or when i fall, or am in NY and snowmobiling.

 

yeah it may be tough to find one that has a zipper other than volcom, ive never seen a zipper, all the jackets ive had have been buttons or loops

 

here are some 686 jackets that are on sale http://www.whiskeymilitia.com/wm/private_stash/989. Whiskey Militia's sales change often, so you might be able to find some Burton or Volcom jackets at a good price. This is the link for their home page http://www.whiskeymilitia.com/wm/wm

 

Ride Control 162, Ride Tomcat bindings, Burton Moto boots (i like the quick release on them and they were a good deal)
Ive only ridden Cataloochee in NC , got back into skating after almost 20 yrs off the board ..LOVE snowboarding!!! gives me something to look forward to in winter
I would love to get out to CO or Tahoe one year

 

nice! i hear CAT(what everyone i know calls cataloochee) is pretty good. i have not been so i don’t know.

 

some Oakley pants/jackets have the zipper for powderskirt..check out 6pm.com or Oakleyvault for deals

 

ok cool. i’ll do that, thanks for the info.

 

No worries, I scored a pair of Special Blend Annex pants on 6pm for $46!!! each day they change the % mark down on different brands...
Cat is good, from what ive heard theres more terrain than at Gatlinburg, and well its closer (not much) for me, i have about a 5hr drive from here..its sooo worth it though.
Cat is open now but only a couple of runs i think...but theyre saying they will stay open til end of season now..making snow everyday !
