I HELLA can't wait for some POW! And yes, the agent is a sick park-all mtn board. I was thinking about gettin a full on jib stick like the artifact, but opted for more versatility even though I have the devun walsh. Theres even someone in the bay area selling the Artifact SK (says "Dealin" instead of Hustlin" on craigslist which would be hella baller.

Can't wait to bust out my Agent! Picked it up at the end of last year, so she's still a virgin. 
But check this out...
Burton Custom 156 for $399.99 at Costco.com (MSRP= $499.95)
-and
Burton Custom X 156 or 160 for $499.99 also at Costco.com (MSRP=$649.95)
They also have the Air & the women's Lux listed, but they must've sold out b/c there are no pricing or sizes available.
Now think about the very "liberal" return policy there. Believe me, I know. I used to work there.

I'm not a believer in burton boards..for the money that they cost there is always something better. Backcountry was having pretty sick deals on some boards about a month ago too, like 20% off. Could have gotten a new 07 agent for $269.

The Snow Will Be Coming In SIDEWAYS!
Yikes! It's gonna be super windy out there!
Over the next few days, including today, ridge gusts are slated to be upwards of 70+ mph. I'm gonna hafta to keep a very close eye on this! I'm was hoping to ride on both Thurs & Fri, but it looks like I may only go Fri instead.
*edit* Anyone know just how bad the winds have been? Give us the lowdown if you were up there today... or if ya head up over the next couple days. Thanks in advance.
