I used to be a skiier. Then I tried snowboarding, and my first trip up the hill I fell and broke my arm. I had to have two pins put in it just to get it to heal kind of straight. That left a bad taste in my mouth for sliding down mountains with something attached to my feet. That was about 10 years ago and I haven't been to a resort since.

 

I love snowboarding, but I'm sure skiing is fun too. We definitely need to have a ski/snowboard trip. Maybe next month sometime...?

 

yeah, as long as everyone is having a fun and enjoyable time. who cares if you're on skis or a snowboard. i used to ski when i was little but i enjoy snowboarding more, but i understand that's my preference and opinion. i've had a skier yell at me to slow down while getting off the lift cuz they were walking across and call me a "damn snowboarder". those are the people that need to chill out. we're all out there for the same reason.

anyway, will there be enough snow next month?

 

Its all about snow blades.

 

yup i think it should fit

 

yes.

 

I was just in Steamboat last Sun/Mon for a short, but sweet Honeymoon. There wasn't any snow, not really surprising cause we always got it on Halloween

Best time up there for tons of snow usually is during Jan/Feb, at least during my 4 years of living up there. I'll probably drive out there sometime this winter, maybe with my STi Forester, if I ever get time to build it. That town is crawling with Subaru's, I couldn't get over how many there were.

board as hell

 

Very punny!

 

there's snow!!!

 

I've been riding since I was about 12yrs old. I Started on a hollow plastic board in pastures behind my house in upstate NY. I stopped going regularly in '95 when I joind the service and shipped out to HI. What does a snoeboarder do in HI you ask? Surf duh! BTW they aren't even remotely the same. I've been hitting Tahoe really hard every year since I moved here in '01. I can't wait for this year. I have decided I am buying a helmet this year. I have ridden all this time without one and I am finally seeing that there is some risk involved. It took a couple tree branches to the nugget last year to knock some sense in me.

 

Just completed the 4th ski day of the season. Copper was actually GREAT with a bunch of mogul runs open and a bunch of powder. Plus, 1-2' of snow tonight! Only bad thing was the lift lines took FOREVER.

 

super long lines at A-Basin too on saturday. i bet they all got TONS of snow after tonight! =D

 

we pretty much have jack in Tahoe so far...but I did get a new snowboard today!

I still haven't been to CO but I here it's pretty sweet.
