Seattle area ski and board meet ups

Crystal this Sunday. Hit it and quit it. Meet at mountain 08:15, ski till 1. Watch the game. Anybody?
Me, Kris, and 2 good skier friends going so far.

 

I'm interested. I'm in Vancouver but have a buddy who skis and could come as well from up there.

 

Pm coming

 

gonna be dope this weekend.

 

I'm in the Arizona desert right

 

It was a good day today up at stevens! only said 2" overnight which might have been true but there was still tons of pockets all over. especially the backside. Snowed from 9am till I left and I had 4-6" on the truck and it was still coming down. Basically no lines all day long so really racked up the laps. (longest line was like 6 chair wait). was supposed to meet up with someone but ended up being solo the whole day which was fun. no thinking where to go or what lift to take I literally just went wherever the was the fewest people lol.


On another note us2 was a shit show going east when I left. two semis broke down plus an accident or two plus a broke down full size rv. and I've never seen so much truck traffic on 2 before. was a good 30 or 40 of em. was just weird as usually traffic going east isn't bad in the afternoons. road wasn't that bad either....packed snow where it wasn't plowed

 

I need advice on a snowboard. I dont care about doing crazy tricks or rails or anything like that. Just lookin for a board that will go down the mountain nicely, good quality, and great for chill riding. I would hope the board can do small "jumps" if they are in the way (nothing crazy, only like 2-3 ft of air if any at all). I care more about carving back and forth and enjoyin the ride. can you guys shed some light on these?

EDIT: lookin for a 158 and my boot size is 11.5. do I need a "wide" board?

 

ok. changed it up slightly.

i went with the Ride - Manic Board, Ride LX bindings (the EX were only M and i needed a L), and I got thirtytwo STW BOA boots

buddy of mine was a snowboard instructor in WI, with me now in GA and said i wouldn't be disappointed with that set up. pumped to get out there!!!

 

Ok fellas! Any weekend in January after the 8th is wide open for us! Let's get a date set (so it's in my calendar, and my husbands syncs it to see not to make other plans)! I'll bring my own recipe of Crock-Pot Chili Stew & Hot Cocoa for all!

Possibly a snow run before/after?!?

 

any chance before the 16th?

 

We're available on Saturdays... January 14th anyone?

 

id like to say im down for that!

as long as moving in goes smooth in late Dec.

 

I'm not sure many will want to board and snow wheel. I personally would want to board/ski all day. Plus snow runs can take much longer than planned as well. Something to keep in mind but I'm def down for both just on different days

 

this is true. im down for the boarding that weekend...but def wheeling any other day! I need to pack in both events as much as I can (and the wife will allow) before the 16th haha

 

OK! We've got January 14th blocked out for snowboarding. Question now is where?

 

Crystalcrystalcrystal!
Or maybe Crystal?
How bout Crystal?

 

Went up for the 1st time this year to kick off my 43rd consecutive ski season, and 48th overall. ( took a few years off to play secret squirrel with my USN buddies)
All I can say is
LACTIC ACID BUILD UP!!! AAAUGGHHHHhhhh!
This is the first year in forever that I didn't start doing squats in September, as I was teaching, and thought that 2 hours of martial arts every night would suffice.
WRONG!
Getting old has its upside and its downside.

 

They have arrived!!!

now just 1 week to go before we make the great migration from GA!

 

When you get here, we rideum big mountain, drinkum sacred brew, eatum magical burgers with bacon!

 

not entirely sure what all that means....but sounds good! haha

cant wait to go snowboarding again, its been a few years....and do some awesome wheeling out there
