The Skiing/Boarding Thread

i’ve always been taught (from basic training) not to loosen your boots after a long walk/hump/day of work because your legs will swell and make it harder to strap back on…not sure if thats relevant though.

i normally just lean back and let my boots hang (having the snowboard strapped to one foot is annoying when tired) or if i’m alone on a lift, i’ll put my boot on the seat next to me and let the other dangle.

good warmup day, got a bit icy and cold (-5F) as the sun moved though

North peak on the way to the outback. Already been up 16 times this year. Been a great early season, I can’t wait until the real snow starts to fall.

I wish the west coast would get some snow… Not just the east coast… We’re 100 inches of snow less than the same time last year… Bleh…

No shit. It sucks. Headed out to telluride in a couple weeks and its not looking great. Oh well, nice place to hang out for the week anyway and watching the super bowl in Colorado should be fun.

Its shit out here too. All the good storms are aiming low and heading out to sea. We got a good 4" of very light powder this morning, nothing up north.

Throw in the epic freeze/thaws and the conditions are terrible.

It was pretty shit last year until Feb, so I’m still hopeful. Gonna try to go to Mad River Glen for throwback day if they open and then Cannon for superbowl Sunday

Good timing. Storms blew through just before and continue at least for first couple days of trip. Close to 36" in last 3 days.

Damn that’s awesome. Telluride is one of the few places I haven’t been and always wanted to go. Just damn tough to get to !

Telluride is one of my favorite mountains. Headed to Utah tomorrow. Hopefully they get the storm they’ve been promising.

Have fun man. We go to Utah a lot. Love it there. Lots of options.

Been over 10 yrs since we’d been to telluride. Love it. Most mountain resort areas are pretty damn sweet.

Ever been to powder mountain? That’s where I’m headed.

I have not been to powder mtn. Old school place, no. Like 8 lifts but I think they shuttle you around the area too. Big acreage iirc though.

Any rate, have fun!
