Cant wait to ride these bad boys ...

Pray for snow

 

If you guys ever want to come to Japan and hit mountains, do let me know.
I can get you cheap hotels and domestic flights too.

 

Love the pics I have seen of skiing in Japan.

 

They are awesome. Only downside is if you fly in to Tokyo, theres no place anywhere near the Tokyo where they have good slope nor snow.
Youll have to travel at least 3hrs from the airport to get to good places.

 

You know it.



EDIT: And that's all on one run in most cases.

 

Any splitboarders in here? Wondering what is new in the world of splitboarding. Haven't kept up in a few years.

 

Yes, but not really. I was a snowboarder long before I took up telemark, but I only just got into splitboarding my last season. I follow some of the groups on Facebook but not well enough to be able to tell you exactly what's new, only that I've seen a bunch of new stuff this season. Spark R&D, Karakoram and Voile all seem to have some excitement around new stuff this season.

 

saw this article on skin comparisons recently, http://splitboard.com/the-skinny-on-skins/

good knowledge

 

I used to (think I still am) be on the forum here. Good people, good info.

 

Spark is great. Have their Blaze bindings on a Venture split. Love the set up.

That board looks saahhhweet!

 

Nice choice in boards. Did you buy it direct from them? Being a Colorado guy you should stop by and meet the crew. They just moved to a new space in Golden. Not many places where you can walk in and get the tour only to find out later it was the guy who started it all. Very friendly and humble ownership. Can't wait for new skis to arrive

 

i know their store front in denver...been by a few times on the first friday nights on santa fe (art walk, most places have beer/wine available and art on display)...they usually open the door and have good beer on tap...that shop moved down the road a bit

didn't know about the golden location...

 

Is anyone going to Ski Loveland on 11/12/2016 for Christy Sports demo day? I will be there.

 

I'll be going to Copper for opening weekend on the 12th, since I have a Rocky Mountain Super Pass Plus

 

Hey out of curiosity, what ski racks are people using?
I'm going on a 3 plus week ski/road trip in Feb and am trying to get the truck ready. Have my Prinsu Design Studio rack installed, and a Thule 575 board rack. That being said, I might need more room for friends who're skiers. I was looking at the Yakima Powderhorn and Thule Pull. I was wondering what you guys have to say about either.
I also have a Yakima SkyBox Pro 16s. So either way, I'll have to carry one set of keys Yakima and Thule keys, I'll probably get lock cores that match the set I have.
Thanks in Advance.

 

I had the Thule. Awesome fit/finish/quality. Worked flawless and maintained appearance. I've never been a fan of the Yakima brand's durability.

 

Made my first trip to Wolf Creek and Purgatory. Not amazing, but so nice to be back on skis.
