The OFFICIAL 09/10 Snowboard Season Thread

[Boost Infested]

Whats new? board, boots, bindings, jacket, pants?

I can't wait for this season!

[lilmira]

I picked up a bunch of new gear, well last year's model, can't wait to test out my powder board and bindings with est system. Hopefully snow is good. Last year wasn't bad, for sure we had better seasons.

Kicking Horse here I come.

Still have yet been to Revy.

[Spoons]

Damn it you stole my job. And you forgot to make it the official one. If your going to take my job, take it without failing.

I have an awesome setup this year, but I am NOT telling you.












Same shit as last year...

Sunshine has the countdown on their web page.

I went down to The Source last week...fuck I shouldn't have done that

I want to try out the 'skate banana' on the LTD/GNU boards so bad. But I have a perfectly good board.

Hopefully I will get out a few more times this season than the last two.

I haven't been to Louise since it changed owners, so I'm hoping it was change for the better.

The BTX is amazing

COP might open on Sunday

Hey guys I figured this would be the best place to post this. (and not the ski thread. lol)

I have a snowboard and boots from a friend back about 9-10 years ago. He lives in Van now and doesent want them anymore. I think the boots are male size 10.

If I post the make and model of the board and boots could someone tell me if there worth selling and how much I could probably get for them? My friend was smaller then me so I think its to small for myself. I always skied so have no idea bout snowboarding.

yeaa i got a skunk ape BTX last year, rode it a few times. So fuckin nice. I had a POW dream the other night, i woke up with the biggest smile lol....

Last Call, First Chair!

Castle oct 5/09

I found this pic on thier daily photo and it makes me giddy everytime I see it!!!

[sl888]

This is my 2nd second. Pretty pumped for it. Is it worth it to head out opening day/weekend or should I give it a few more weeks?

[HyperZell]

First season - I have the bug bad! All new gear, none of it used. Can't wait to try it out!

[jdmXSI]

If you have a super bad itch to get out, you can always go to COP since they opened yesterday!

Yea I made that mistake last year, stupid friends, only went there to look, came away with a Skate Banana and Burton P.1.1 bindings, the Skate banana is beyond awesome, can't believe the difference it made, makes carving soo much more fun than it already was, but do regret buying it now as they didn't have a widebody last year and this year they do, but hopefully I can get some ThirtyTwo Ultralights that I can fit my feet into so it doesn't overhang the board.

Only need the new boots for this season......and a new jacket......and new pants....ahh crap its gonna be a little expensive again.

Seriously pyched for this season, hope to get out more and also head south into the US to try out some of there resorts.

[jdmXSI]

Anyone gonna go to Louise if they open on thier expected date of Nov 6/09?

[Xamim]

2nd season for me, can't wait. I picked up all of my stuff last year, I just need new gloves and a facemask.

Do you guys have any good movie recommendations?

[DannyO]

There last years videos, but I HIGHLY recommend "Picture This" and "Thats It, Thats All", footage and the way there done is really nice, music is great in Picture This.

Just watched Elektro its d@mn sweet! Awesome camera work and sic music.
Black Winter opened super strong with Torstein and Xavier. But ending wasn't as strong. Had good music unlike it's trailer/teaser lol.

IMO Neverland is the best movie from this year...
As for girls movies the Runaway films (La La Land my fav) from the past are good and YYCs own Leanne Pelosi was in charge.

Anyways this is clean....
