The Official Ski/snowboard thread

[Redlyne_mr2]

This snow fall has got me pretty excited about the upcoming ski season. Dpes anyone know if the new poor boyZ movie is out?Is anyone going to this years Warren Miller showing? How's your gear situation this year? Any new gear? I havea feeling this is going to be a great winter. Maybe a Beyond meet and skiat the mountains will have to be organized

[^SkylinE^]

Time for me to get a new board and some pants mine are a bit thrashed. I Hopeing for an awsome year. Im looking into being on a ski patrol at one or the local hills if anyone has info on this it would be greatly appreciated. I currently hold my EMT-a and ACP registration. Im willing to volinteer if money is involved that i just a bonus! Im not sure what i would have to do to be qualified for a ski patrol position ie. avalanche training and such? Any info would be great! Pray to the snow GODS for lots of snow this year but also for the time off from work to enjoy it! Hopefully the number of avalanche deaths comes down it bit this year, last few season have been brutal.

Beyond meet at the hills might be kinda cool? Or maybe a jib session somewhere?

A big cruise to the mountains and then some riding would be awesome. You can count me in if we set one up. If anyone wants to check out something new this winter head to kicking horse it is incredible!

I am going to impact except that I am going home to edmonton to watch it with my friends. I am also going to the ski and snowboard show there next weekend so it should get me pumped up. I also bought Journey last week. Its a pretty good warren miller flic. I recommend it to any big mountain skiers/boarders.

I would go for a jibb session sometime also. We will have to meet up somewhere this year.

I don't need too much gear. I think I am going to pick up a new Helly hanson jacket as my orage is getting worn out and if I am feelling rich possibly a pair of armada or line skis.

[DJ Lazy]

Only pieces of equipment I am getting this year will be a pair of Bandit Freeride Soft Boots, and some new goggles and a pair of Alpine Trekkers... My Scratch BC's will do me fine...

I am in love with the white stuff right now, other than it has given me the day off work, when I need the money

A beyond meet would be a sweet idea Redlyne...


PS: Not a fan of Warren Miller anymore.. i picked up Journey this weekend, and I thought it was quite disappointing... I am more into the Poor Boyz, TGR, etc type vidz these days..

[Phats]

Well, I myself can't wait for the hills to open, a meet would be a cool idea, I just keep watching white balance(snowboard vid) over and over again waiting for the hills to open. Can't wait for fernie this year Striepe, you'd better be there man

[Shaolin]

I haven't snowboarded/skiied in 2 years.. been too lazy to wake up early in the morning on weekends when I do it every freaken weekday.. I'm going to try and get out more this year.. but probably go back to Skiing.. boarded for 5 years and I don't find it as fun as Skiing anymore.

[^SkylinE^]

Yah Warren Miller is total crap but I just go because ive been goiing every year since I was like 5

A jib session would be awesome living in Ontario over thsese last few years didnt give me the opportunity to imrpove my skills. I used to ski alot with JF Cusson and JP Auclair back in the day before the new school scene exploded. LOL we were snapping the backs of our skis to make them twin tip because the 1080 hadnt come out yet.

I'd be down for that

[civicrider]

im just excited to lake louise snowboard park, its always good and i finaly got my knees better so i can ride this winter.

[finboy]

i was thinking of trying snowboarding this year, last time i went skiing was when i was 10

[tsi_neal]

yea im getting pretty excited for the ski season...

I desperatly NEED new equipment tho, near the end of last season i delaminated one of my skis (woulda thought high end rossi's would last more than 4 seasons) and being as poor as i was (am) i had no real choice but to epoxy it back together. Holy crap that makes for a stiff and poor riding ski (not to mention im scared that it will just snap in two if i make a bad landing somewhere).

other than that i think my ski pants need a fresh duct tape job and ill be good to go.

[98type_r]

been waiting for snow since august, can't wait for the hills to open.

i'll be working at nakiska this year so i should be getting in lots of riding.

[^SkylinE^]

98type_r how do i go about becoming a ski patroler at nakiska? Does anyone know?

Ill ride with Jf here and there like I said though being out in TO fior 3 years sucked ass for my skiing. I skied with Chris Turpin quite a bit when I was younger too. He has now gone on to do some pretty big things. Jordon Monk sounds very very familiar but I think my time was long before those new jibbers. Just so you know i think i'm the first person to ever attempt a misty 7 on skis. Ive got it documented on video too should there ever be any arguments.
