[MudRacer]

I love snowboarding. I suck at it, been going for 2 years now. And i cant wait for it to snow out here. I finally want to attempt some jumps this year. But my board is too long (165).

[Rabbi010]

I'm snowboarding for the first time! The first Friday of December I'm going to Windam in NY. Woot woot. If I like it, I'm going to buy boards, boots and bindings. Then I'll snowboard every Friday possible.

[trsilvias13]

last 3 year, almost every weekend @ tahoe during snow season, burton custom 06 with cartels, 07 vapor with cartels + skate banana + co2, this year, never summer SLR with p1 carbons - cant wait.

Next weekend 11/22, resorts are opening @tahoe

[Ineedparts]

Salamon Prospect 159.5, its old and so are my burton bindings. I did pick up a brand new pair of Thirtytwos's last year, some white camo ones..I think its time to buy a new setup but I will wait untill Zumies end of season sale, like $350 for a noice set up. My closest Mtn. is a good 8 hour drive..:down:

[origin_s135]

snowboarding right after thanksgiving!! i am going to tahoe, man, i can't wait!! i hope the snow is good.

[d r i f t swift]

shit i plan on going thanksgiving also. but by the looks of things i dont even know if anyone is going to be open. its been too warm. theres no snow up there.. weeeeaaaaaak

[mRclARK1]

Ski.

I have my instructors actually. Never used it though... lol

I've done heli skiing a couple times. So much fun. I've been skiing since I was able to walk... My mother is big into it and used to work on ski patrol in the Canadian Rockies for awhile. I usually hit up Banff or Jasper, or go into BC (like Whistler) at least once every winter.

The more double black runs... The better. :wiggle:

[ClutchKickThatBitch]

Fist time I went snowboarding I was on my ass more then the board

[muddafakka]

What? You guys don't consider snowball fights a snow sport? Pfffffffff

I've wanted to try snowboarding for the longest time but now that I'm in Florida, so much for that. Someday I guess.

[ZilviaKid]

[MudRacer]

When the hell is it going to snow mann. When is mt high/ big bear opening up?

[ZilviaKid]

Burton Custom 3D. is it worth it or is it all hype?


http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/assets/products/40144/standard/BurtonCustomICS.jpg

[cuddlesthesheep]

...not at all.

Burton Customs are so ridiculously overpriced.. as are all Burton boards.

Listen it truely is an all around board. But get a board that caters to what you do.

Do you do powder, pipe, rails? Many other options out there that are cheaper and better that I or someone else could point you too.

[ZilviaKid]

im looking to do powder and rails. intermediate level stuff. i want something flexly and tight. any ideas? im willing to pay a bit more for something awesome.

[CantSTOP]

Mt high!! is gonna be the shizzz this week!

[kevmeistah21]

snowing in so-cal! finally..

[ZilviaKid]

So i said fuck it, and bought the burton anyway! testing will commence this weekend!

[BlackZenkiS14]

Im bored here on Christmas eve, and excited about new gear (so excuse the pictures),

I think Im gonna head out to the Vaile properties or Loveland for Spring break, i just couldnt afford a winter trip this year to CO, even though i really wanted to. So im hoping to get out west at some point in 2009 before spring.

Heres my setup for 2008/09

[ByeByeSti]

Dont buy burton, its just a name. there boards are overated. i know a bunch of people who have snapped the dominant with ease there first year with it. and there some of them wernt that good.. also cartels tend to help snap boards with the way they are deisgned if you look at the bases of them just a little note for you guys.. :)

i ride a 06-07 travis rice, Lib Tech. 153
http://onboardsnowboarding.com/images/uploads/features/OB-lib-tech.jpg
and my other board is a 158 rome agent limited edition
both set up with some ride bindings of course. woooo

[alindeman1989]

im going this weekend. i pretty pumped but cali needs more snow!!

[redZENKI]

For those who use Flow bindings, would you recommend them? and have you had any problems with them?

[allntrlundrgrnd]

i hear they are comfy but ive never used them.

burton missions w/ toe strap serve me well. i got deez

and these gogs

http://www.surfeyes.com/acatalog/Spy-Blizzard-Snow_Goggle-section-top.jpg

too bad im broke as shit :naw:

[MisawaJason]

ski-blades are the shit. Who else has tried it?

[BlackZenkiS14]

From what i have heard from users on the slopes, stay away from Flow bindings. They work great in the shop, but once they get cold and packed with snow seem to have trouble. I love my ROME bindings.

And ski blades, i wanted to try to them like 8 years ago when i was a fruit booter, but thats about it lol
