Snowboarding

Oh i'm pumped..... I know Snowboarder is pumped too LOL :D :D

boardin season is commin up, i just got my membership for the "local mountain" so i'm ready to go

They should open by mid to late december, but we still haven't gotten any snow, and we usually don't get snow till a week or 2 into december :(

good thing they have snow making machines, lol :D

anyway for the snowboarders out there.. post your set-ups

I got an M3 board, burton CFX bindings set at back foot: -12* and front foot: 18*. I like the wider stance and big opposite angles, feels more comfortable for the freestyle type riding i do (mostly in the park). Also I have DC Premier boots and just got a pair of khaki Special Blend pants and a a SB jacket. also burton tactic gloves and Spy Goggles, i think they're the "scoop model" and they're like a see through blue type color.
am i missing anything?

I never boarded in my life before, so I have no idea what you were just talkin about.

Ditto

Im just lame I guess

One of the resorts in SoCal just opened this weekend, others should be open in the next two weeks... ;) No waiting here!

Cali has some awesome places to snowboard... like snow summit and mammoth

I'm gunna drive down to vermont for some boarding this year, i think i'll go to Okemo and i'm also gunna go to mont tremblant in quebec

i hoping this is gunna be the best snowboarding year ever :)

where's snowboarder? i thought he'd be all over this, i need another fellow boarder to talk to :)

sorry, i've been less active recently. but we just got blessed with a mammoth storm that dumped 100 inches of the good stuff on our resorts. quite a few of them are open already and im getting my pass tomorrow. on saturday i'm going to brighton, jealous yet gang$tarr?
my setup:
limited 157
Forum Jp Walker boots
5150 Bindings (need to get some real bindings, :drool: Forum ATA:eek: )
khaki planet earth pants
red foursquare jacket
dragon goggle
SB beanie
Burton toast mittens

Horray for snow!!!!

Cant say I've ever gone snowboarding, but I have my skis all set to go for the season. Going to pick up my seasons pass next week. I figure the snow will stick real soon and they'll be making snow shortly after. The season should be in full swing in a couple of weeks.

my local mountians have had snow for about a week now. cant wait to get boarding again :D

I've never boarded in my life, but plan on starting this winter. I'm really excited this winter. I was wondering what board I should go with; I'll be free-riding and I'm 5'7" (170 cm) and 155 lb (70 kg). Btw, money is not a problem.

The skis are out for waxing, but no season pass this year :(

I'll be running the house still... :( I hope I can get out for a few days atleast!

Btw, money is not a problem. you might want to go with anything from a 150 to 156. the smaller the board the easier it is to manuever during tricks. i have a 157 and now i really want a 154, just personal preference though.

i hate you :D

i heard snowbird got 119 inches :eek: :eek: :eek: unbelievable, i haven't even seen any snow yet :(
actually i saw a couple flakes last week but nothin much


jinushawn, i suggest somethin around a 154 board... just go to your local board shop and they'll hook you up with everything you need to know

SB927 i got a new jacket today :D
one of the Special Blend Meridian Series.... it's like red and grey :)
sweet jacket

one of my friends also got one of those new Dub jackets... forget what kind it is

F***, i went to milo today to check on my jacket and they said it would be almost impossible to get one. the jacket i wanted is their most popular and they only make a few. and they earliest i could order it would be jan. 1. so screw that! my friend works at another place and he is going to check there for me and hook me up. now i'm lookin at the FSQ RSL.5000 Viceroy in either blue or gray. i hate shopping for jackets!!!!!!!!!

what kind of jacket did you want?

the Ls aren't that big that's what i got, and i'm small like 5' 8'' (still growin, lol)

but i like to pull the waist cord thing and fold it over... you know what i mean? so it's not too long, that's how i sport the jackets :D

i finally got a jacket, the small four square TS.5000 niagra in red. it was the jacket i wanted in the first place before i went hollywood on myself. and i'm going tomorrow so i'll see how it holds up.

edit: i'm a moron, its the TS.8000 niagra in red:D
