I'm doing Kirkwood again this year. Loved it last year, and had a ski lease down in south lake. I didn't do the package with Alpine, since it's so much more expensive. I'm doing a Utah trip, and will likely ride all over Tahoe anyway. Last year I got 22 days in, and the only Tahoe resort I missed was Sierra.
boardoholic: hollywood hit being the 5-15fter below the lift on 4? As long as I don't end up going through Dick's Drop again, which is off to the rider's left of 10.

The last time I hucked Tower Eight Drop-Off was super fun. I did the "meaty" part a couple times & 'twas definitely at least a 15-footer. As much as I ride KW, I don't know enough off the names. I love all the stuff under Notch & the other chutes off 10. Plus, there's tons of goodies off 6. A really fun lap goes Chamoix to lower Sentinel into Rabbitland to Timber Creek, then take 7 up for lower Olympic to catch 6. Tyipcally, I just cut back across to head up 6 again before even getting into the goodies of Rabbitland.

Along with boardaholic, I won a Sierra Bluebird back in May but didn't know and the coupon expired. I emailed Trusnow and they said to send them my coupon code and they'll renew it, but so far I haven't heard back or received a working code so I gotta email them again. I was on the same boat as boardaholic as far as which size to go with. But since the biggest board I have is a 155, looks like the 159 will be a good addition 
Anyone having a season pass dilemma like I am? Can't decide on any of them, and now I saw that Kirkwood, Alpine Meadows and Homewood have a package season pass
I was really looking into getting the Northstar/Heavenly pass with the Colorado resorts access since my brother is stationed in Colorado now. But he could be deploying overseas soon, so that might not work out. But I really like Sierra and they have the Sun-Fri pass for $219 Aaaggghhh

At ONLY $329 for students, that's pennies per acreage. Probably the best deal hands down! A couple of the Epic passes have great value, too. If your bro doesn't get called out, that'd be a killer one for you to catch some really awesome CO resorts. I read/hear about lots of great stuff in the Rockies in general.
If you're likely to NOT be riding on Sat's, those Sun thru Fri passes that resorts offer kick butt. Btw, I love Sierra. I'm real partial to since I learned there & have TONS of great memories I've had on the mtn. I know the place real well though I still need to hit up Huckleberry Canyon when the snow's good!

got a call from Burton that they warranted my Fd up 09 Burton Blunt at full 2011 retail so i got $370 to spend with them and Im freaking out waiting for the new stuff to drop!!! That board was a decent intro to v-rocker but im looking at the 2012 Joystick, supposed to be a really nice deck and i only have to throw like $130 on top and they will throw in free EST adapters and shipping! good to see this thread getting active again! if it wasnt for golf id have hurt somebody by now!

Hell yes! Reminds me of opening day at Kirkwood last season:
The snow on the hill was pretty good too

So it looks like I'm going for the 159. I dunno if you end up following up on your prize, but maybe you could hold off til mine comes in. That way, once I've got my grubby mitts on 'er, I can give you a better idea on flex or anything else you might be wondering about. Lemme know. We might even be able to link up so you can check it out in person.
Going to send them a fresh email to try to get a better response. Yeah we definitely should hook up this season and ride. Im really curious to hear/see how it rides since its marketed as a powder board but the specs and others input makes it sound like another board hahaha Glad you were able to decide on a size, saw on TruSnow you weren't sure. Hate going back and forth on things hahaha

does anyone here ride a burton custom v-rocker or a lib-tech skate-banana or Jones all mountain twin?
if anyone has ridden one of them or both or all three this season or last please post up some comments/comparisons between the models and vs camber.
i demo'd a skate-banana couple weeks back and was pretty surprised at how well it rode. was expecting it to be not as good on the groomers but it was fine...so just wondering what differences there are between the different manufacturer's.
