Anyone ever repair their board, I got a new lib tech this year and got a little nick in it this past weekend, want to put some epoxy on there but just wanted to see if anyone has done this and what they used.

Here is the pic of the damage, its only about a centimeter long. If needed I may take it to a shop to get fixed.

 

If you're really worried about it, get some epoxy, or surfboard repair stuff called Sun Cure, or even just some super glue and do what you can with it. It's really not a big deal.. but I feel your pain.

I get a new board every year for a reason.. lol

 

ive added a few of those scratches to my board this year...i think one of them was from hitting the metal edge of the conveyor belt for the lift

ill definitely be getting a new board for next season though

 

you will be comming at just the right time, the PNW is finally getting the snow it should be getting, so its getting just shat on. I dont think you will need to worry about a lack of snow. As far as idaho and utah go...depending on how long you are going to be around for (in idaho) go to Brundage for sure, if you want the classic resort town and the history and are fine paying for it go to sun valley. If you are going to be staying in boise hit up bogus, cant go wrong there. its just 40 min up the hill from downtown. In utah snowbird definitely is a top pick, powder mountain was heavenly when i went last year. I have also heard great things about solitude.

 

Was just shreddin telluride this weekend, it was pretty sweet

 

dam i been rockin the same board for over 10 years
good to be rich

thanks for the info
just herd baker got over 40" and bachelor 58" woot.....guess its heading into montana and idaho now
think we got it narrowed down to jackson, grand targhee, big sky, bachelor, baker, crystal, timberline......not sure about schweitzer......
thanks for the heads up about bogus

 

Just got an e-mail from PowMow, UT 14" and still falling.

 

Why could I not have pic a career that landed me there in the winter and VA in the summer...

 

Not rich.. I worked part time for a shop after my full time job so I could get a discount.

Your 10 year old board isn't the only thing about you that sucks...

 

mah bopard is more than 10 years old

 

Jackson sucked today. Dont come out here, unless you want to ride powder all day

 

hell yea 8-9 days ill be there...keep it comin
i wana hit corbets couloir

 

opening day at my closest local hill, the last of the local hills to open. at least a foot and a half of heavenly powder. dam it was a good day!








also i think its hilarious that up until this week everyone in the PNW has been bitching about having a terrible shitty winter, then the jet stream changed and now everyone is ecstatic and in heaven enjoying their powder.

right on! ya, schweitzer is up in the very north part of the state, so it depends on where you are coming from. however after being in jackson and targhee, idaho resorts are going to fall a bit short lol

 

yea.. couldn't of gotten that storm last week while i was there...

 

I signed my wife and I up for the Danny Kass GNU Monster Energy snowboard sweepstakes. My wife won. The board should be here in about 3 months.

Should go nicely in the baby room!

 

you guys are lucky with all your powder...today i was riding on some nice ice...

 

18in today, 10-14 tonight, 10-14 tomorrow, and no end until maybe late next week. Its on. I Got first tram box today when it opened at 9:45. 4200vert of steep, knee deep untracked powder was a decent way to start the day, and it only got better.
