Snowboarding Season

[Kobe]

Put on my boots today, and they still fit.. wooohoo

So i ended up putting on my snowboard and and doing a few nose stalls on the stairs in the garage...


My board is a 154 tho, my old JP Walker.. I think i need a 161.. But i love it soo much...

I might have to go out and buy a new one now this week, and a COP pass

Anyone buy any of there passes for the season yet??

[Cruz]

I'm counting down the days...

[CivicTunr]

ive got a Full mountain pass, so sick, i mostly bought it for louise and sunshine, but on breaks i usually drive out, to different mountains.
21 days left til louise and sunshine open,
haha and cop says they will but i highly doubt it.

unless you ride alot of backcountry, a bigger board is useless.

i ride a 155 rome agent, for around the mountain/park.

and than i ride a 160 rome agent, for powder/back country.

Whats the deal with fortress this year? Is it going 2 be completely open for sure?

[Gurpy]

Not completely open. A friend of mine patrols there and he said that it should definately be open Decemberish for skiing and boarding, but no word on the lodges and that stuff.


..but the tent with cheap food/hot chocolate is good enough anyways.

edit: id probably be up for a beyond trip to sunshine sometime, im up almost all weekends/probably going to go twice a week midweek at the end of january since my semesters light.

I'd be down for that as long as everyone comes prepared with proper equipment and knows what they're doing..it'd be cool to do a beyond trip to quartz ridge or something. Or we could just head up to the dive and do some laps through there? There's some good terrain in there, and its controlled.

I can't wait for boarding season this year... gettin a COP pass, and I'll probably get a louise card like I usually do. I wanted to get a Nakiska pass, but missed the cutoff for early bird stuff.

Only thing I need to get now is some new bindings for this season.

[A2VR6]

I went to Big White and Silverstar last year at Christmas. They had a bangin snowfall compared to us Alberta folk. Im getting dragged to Whistler this year for Christmas = insane lines. Ill prob spend all my time in the bars.

[Hash_man]

^^ Ya I have heard the snow is usually pretty damn good at big white... I would love to go.

[Chris101]

Got my Nakiska pass this year. Lets me ride at Louise before/after Nakiska season. My new gear is being processed in customs right now and should be here in < week.

Cannot wait.

Yep I was there the first week of january last year. The day before we got there they got a massive dumping of snow... it was amazing. Also there werent any lineups when we went there either.
