I got the Kirkwood 6 wood for $299 and Heavenly's (which includes N* and Sierra) for $349.
Totally worth the $.

 

3 mountains! only about 150 more for 2 more mountains, I call that a deal. I am sure you will get your money worth easily for it.

 

Wow! Ya gotta love the heaps & heaps of early season snow, eh? Too bad I won't be able to get my slide on til my quarter ends just shy of 3 weeks from now.

I love Kirkwood, too! (Check My "Location.") And it seems I be just as torn as you if I was gonna get a pass this yr. The "Triple" Whammy & Epic Pass have a lotta bang for the buck!

Just FYI: that $629 you noted is actually for access to 8... count 'em... EIGHT mtns! The Heavenly/Northstar Adult Pass (aka Triple Whammy) is only $379. However, it has several holiday blackout dates for the 3 mtns.

Decisions... decisions...

Good luck & happy sliding, bruddah!

 

Nice! Heard nothing but rave reviews on the Cartels. While I ride a stiffer & more responsive binding (just my personal preference), my buddy loves his. I think they're the same season as yours, just in a different colorway. In case you didn't know, those are the '08 or '09 iteration. Not a bad thing at all since tech hasn't advanced by leaps & bounds to notice a "letdown."

Btw, where'd you pick 'em up at? Since I'm also in V-town, I'd rather support a shop closer to me.

Oh... and Hooray for snow!

 

Justin, I've popped in there a couple times. Last season when I was trying on TONS & TONS of boots @several different spots, the guy who helped me was pretty knowledgeable & helpful. They seem like a "core" type of shop that also sells skateboard stuff all year. I don't really recall how competitive their pricing is since I was primarily looking for the right fit & flex in whatever boots they carried.

Never Summer, eh? They rock! What do you have your eye on? And how about Ray's Santa Cruz hook-up?

Can't wait to slash some pow w/ you & the crew this season!

 

My car, this morning at my place on ski trails at N*. Sooo much powder up here. Seriously epic day.

 

anyone going up tomorrow for the day from sonoma county? Brother and I need a ride definitely pitch for gas at least

 

Can't go up cause 80 is closed my friend sente a picture and lake level has well over 4 feet of snow and they got more on the way!!

 

well goddamn thats some crazy ****

 

I don't think this is true. Maybe it was. But I'm driving back to SF tomorrow morning (hopefully), and I just checked the current chain control map. Still open, but chain controls. I think parts of 89 are close though.

damn xdeathwishx that is an epic picture of your car!!!!

 

Next week is probably a good week to go!

 

I got em from boardgarden. But there's also Snowdrift in Napa. Real cool dude named Tom. He greets everyone by name.

 

Haha thanks. By the way, I shoveled all of that off and then drove right over the resulting snow bank with my blizzaks no prob. Never buying a 2wd car again.

 

videos!
