Snowboarding!!

[Kobe]

Anyone snowboard??
Where are you all getting passes to this year???

I'm thinking Nakiska for the park, and same as COP, just becuase I live like 10min away....


I want a sunshine pass but its to much $$$$

[snowboard]

Just get a sunshine card homieee there worth the dolllarsss

[brettg]

ya i ride cop all winter, for a good park to ride you just cant beat it cause its only like 15 min away, i can go all week long, sunshine is great on the weekends once and a while, but the only pass il be buying is cop.

[rc2002]

Prices are just getting ridiculous now. I'd just stick with a Louise card. I'm a big fan of Louise because of the longer runs. It's a bit further away, but it's worth every extra minute of driving.

[Lanks]

^^^:werd: louise is the way to go! (Fernie also)

[Redlyne_mr2]

Yeah Sunshine card is the way to go unless you can ski during the week and use it enough. Unfortunately my school days are over so Im now just a weekend warrior since I work during the week. I end up paying about the same as I would if I bought a season pass. I just do it over the course of the whole season.

[Mad$ella]

I am getting a Sunshine card and a Lake Lousie card too.
Both those hills are amazing!
Frenie too, but its too far.

[Ekliptix]

I want to get out at least once to the mountains this season. haha, I have not been to a ski hill in 10yrs. :nut:

[hampstor]

you know summer is over when everyone's talking about boarding :D

I can't wait to get back on the hill!! I just hate the lull between summer and when you can hit the hills.

[Hash_man]

I can;t wait to get out... I'm hopefully getting a COP pass, and I usually pick up a louise card too, as I agree its definately one of the best mountains.

So, what kind of gear do you guys have for this season?

I'll be riding Jenna and brianna on last years sims fader, with tech-nine mark frank bindings, and apex model 5 boots :thumbsup:

I can;t wait to get on the hill.

[Khyron]

How much is a COP pass? Do they have evenings only?

Student or Adult??

Edit: They did last year atleast, i dont see them for sale anymore, its also a new owner of COP tho.. :dunno:

[DannyO]

Damn I can't wait to get back on the mountains, hoping to go 20 or more times this year, I never buy a pass as I don't like sticking to one hill, so I buy the cards instead, I'll be hittin up Louise, Sunshine, Kicking Horse, Fernie, and MAYBE Whistler this year, plus any others that I can.

BRING ON THE SNOW.:D

[Rockski]

hey if you head to kicking horse give me a ring man, that hill is one of my fabled want to go to ones

[snowboard]

YES my girlfreind bought me new goggles for my birth day :D
Von Zipper Brushwick's in white with a chrome bronze lens :D

[GT2NV]

dude those goggles are so sick pm me with where she bought em my spy's just dont cut it aynmore

[Lo)2enz0]

anywhere with a big pipe is where I am at. last year i went to COP a couple of times and the pipe had mad undervert. pissed me off so bad that I stopped going there for the rest of the year. I heard they fired the guy who has been cutting it for years.

sunshine's pipe sucks

lake louise awsome but scary cause you get so much damn speed

Hey, will do for sure, I got alot of people going now and then aswell, wanna organize something, like 20 people and then hire a limo bus to take us out there in style, its only 70 bux each if you get about 20 people together, but that won't happen often, hope to get a roomy winter beater or old SUV in the next few weeks.

[Lasz]

I'm gonna get a sunshine card and hit up COP once or twice a week after work, they raised the night ticket quite a bit from last year, ARRGH

[93hustler]

Can't wait to hit Fernie my fave spot:clap:

[Kobe]

i just went to cop yesterday for the first time this year, and the park is wayyyyy better. better jumps and setup from top to bottom, plus the new half pipe is sweet (still most people can barely get 6 inches of air off the half-pipe cuz it's too BIG!) :nut: :thumbsup:

[DC2uned]

I went to Sunshine today and had to turn around since there was a one hour line up and finaly a 1km walk to get to the ticket booth since they were parking people on the side of the road. I guess that what I get for showing up at 10:30
:eek:

Any other Beyonders get fucked today at Sunshine?

The pipe is masssive this year, I suck at pipe, but am going to learn this year... I need to get better on my heal in the pipe... Tons of nice tables, to bad the landings were pretty icy when I went...
