I'm getting married in mid-January and I swear, this will be the last time I decide to get married in the middle of snowboarding season.
I'm going to try to sneak in a Dodge Ridge or Kirkwood trip between Xmas and the New Year. If not, then I'll have to wait until early Feb.

I went to Bear Valley this past Saturday.
Snow was good, decent amount of powder in the trees on the front side. Nice & easy drive up.
Bottom half of the slopes was closed, and the back side was a little icy, but the front stayed fluffy all day.
Parking lot was also only 1/4th full, so that was a huge plus also!
Can't wait to go back up and have more fun with these Blizzacks...

I just got these LM-22's this season, I didn't encounter any heavy snow yet.
There were some patches of ice on the highway that I couldn't feel at all going 65mph. I still slowed down for the curves cuz I didn't wanna risk it on the first trip out.
I did find an empty parking lot at the resort that had some ice on it to experiment with. The car pretty much only spun if I turned my wheel alot while blipping the throttle mid turn. Then after a second, the car would go in whichever direction I was pointing. I'm looking forward to calling in sick for the next storm.

they were on close out at tirerack for $130 each, and america's tire was able to not only price match the actual shipped price, but also included their prorated warranty with the installation fee(woot).
My evo friend told me on 2 separate occasions cuz of the AWD, he was able to get all 4 tires replaced when he blew just 1 tire since he bought from America's tire. That was a deal sealer for me who to go to.

mite have a yakima I used on my 04 I want to sell, its missing a like 1 plastic piece that is very minor and nothing functional. Also has the special adjustable risers to keep boards with big bindings from doing in your roof. Unfortunately I didn't buy it with these. Fortunately I no longer have the car. heh.
