I have an old beat up second hand board, cracks everywhere, haha - no problems. I did ask about it, the shop guys said they can fill them and smooth it out - didn't seem worth the effort, but their comment is that if they are not filled, they can cause a major crack if they get packed with ice.

 

^ yup. It doesn't happen often but it sure can and costs more later.

 

yeah dont worry about the cracks just shred it till it doesnt shred anymore.

boards been sitting next to my bed for 2 months.
had a little rail jam at this park by my house the other day..felt hella wierd strapping in after this long but i felt pretty good by the time we finished

 

hopefully this season will be better than last..

*praying to the snow gods*

 

last season wasnt even that bad..try 2 or 3 seasons ago i cant remember..whenever DC made Mtn Lab 2.5. that was the worst snow year ive ever seen

 

yea, the weather folks are spinning quite a winter....

to be honest, i never get this sore before wionter ceop for the ones that have been huge. i have lived in truckee/tahoe for 16 years now, and my old joints are pretty good indicators.

so here to a possibly big winter.

now y'all need to stop riding those trays and get on some stix.....

where do most of you guys ride at?

for the past 5-6 seasons, ive been a Northstar junkie.

 

squaw.

i will venture elsewhere for free. this is the first year i paid to ski in years (bought the 369 full season @ squaw). proly since my dad bought my passes when i was a kiddo.......and i might have work at squaw, so i could get the that money back...WOOT!!

This is why I wake all sunnmer long!! kicks so much ***!! I like the wake more than the snow now I think....

 

hahah good to know! I cant believe that i didnt make it up to our cabin in Truckee ONCE this summer!
I like N*.. its like 20mins from our cabin. I also like sqaw but its damn expensive to buy a day lift. i like Homewood a lot too... small place and more locals go there

 

Me too. I was out about 10 weeks last season with cracked ribs on two separate occasions. Looking forward to a healthy year.

I ride the Heav, Sierra and N-Star.

I've been on Ride DH2s the last two years. I think I'm gonna try out the Machete this season.

 

Heck yeah I'm craving for snow!! Last season was my first full one, so I'm sure you guys know how I'm itching to get out there again! LOL I already have my Sierra season pass, which I'm upgrading to include Northstar asap

My friends are already planning to rent a cabin on December, while I'm starting to plan a road trip to a friend at CO.

The only thing holding back my excitement now is that I might actually put my STi for sale (long story) before the season starts.

 

Yup. Couldn't pass up that deal! First time I could actually afford a squaw pass...

 

i used to ride a complete Burton set up... but i switched up to a NeverSummer board (<----most amazing board ive ever road on!!) and ride bindings

 

I got my skis out last weekend and fixed a scrape caused by a rock resulting in a fractured tibia at the beginning of last season.

Can't wait for the snow this year!
