Timeless

Turn up dirty / late / both, they'll understand.

I've never been there but that's what their (difficult to read) trail map says. What kind of trail is it? wide? steep? worth driving 3 hours for?

I know we have some CB people on the board, So when are you being asked to start work?

Ah, american sarcasm. Never sure if it's real... There was some sign of coverage in pipe surprisingly, it looked like more than just accidental blowover from the meadows.

I weigh around 190lb's (maybe 200 geared up) and I'm just short of 6' so I figured I would want something over 160 for fast freeriding. Pow board remember where I live.... Have you or any of your bud's ever ridden a timeless? Any opinions? I've heard some negative things about cap construction boards but looking at a few articles on construction techniques I can't see an inherent weakness. If you've got some more details on this board (size, color, price etc) I might be interested.

It's a black diamond, in the middle, if it's only to the mid station it doesn't look like much of a run. Their trail map is so crappy it's difficult to tell. They should hire a website designer.

I took a drive by this morning, they are blowing on all the bits you showed except Nile, no sign of anything over there. They're also blowing on upper marc anthony. Looks like a lot of trails to start with. Cover at the base area and on coolmoor is starting to look pretty good.

E-mail from Belleayre this morning... "Hi, We will be open on Saturday. Right now it looks like we will have one trail open and that will be Onteora from mid station down. The Rail park will not be open on Saturday"

1 trail, 2000 people How much do you think Bellayre will have open, I really want to go sunday....

I e-mailed them first thing this morning, no response yet. Looking at Hunter's daily pic's it doesn't look like they will have much open, but I think both Bellayre and Hunter will open something for the weekend.

Welcome back

Anyone have any experience or views on the Ride Timeless (164), I've been offered a nearly new one one at a reasonable price, but the owner (ex work colleague) has moved to Texas and so it's difficult to try it out. I would like it as a second board for freeriding, I'd like something a little more stable at speed than my M3 discord (158.5) for when I'm riding with my mostly skiing friends.

NO way bellayre, huntah, windham etc are going to open this weekend (at least not for saturday AM), look at hunters website, they have lost nearly everything they blew last week. Bottom line, of you want to ski and ride this weekend you'll have to go to VT. Also, Mount snow has pushed back it's proposed opening date until next wednesday.

They've added a whole load of new park features over on Bear, that's now like one big terrain park, including a superpipe. Last spring (last time I was there while Bear was open) it was amazing, the whole of two trails just lttered with features. There are some pictures somewhere on their website. There are still a couple of other parks on the other hills, but Bear is now very much the place to go if you like to ride park. None of this will be open at the weekend, they'll just have the mini-park on upper reason/rhyme? (can't remember which), better than nothing this early in the year.

fashion victim?

I have Technine's and love 'em. Dont have much to compare them to, only my original Link bindings which were uncomfortable and too flexy. If I was buying another set I would get Ride Mig's.

When I picked my pass up yesterday, the only comment I could get was that they had no plans to open "any time soon" Looks like a few weeks of driving north.

I've just bought a helmet (Giro Fuse) and my smith goggles (with amber lenses, and yes they are good at night and in low light) do not fit very well. There isn't much gap, but they just dont sit right.

You actually paid for them? They have the cap-straps don't they, I'd be interested to hear how you rate that. New stuff is always fun, when do you think you will get to try them, I hear everything over there is opening.

Got my new snowboard boots yesterday, Ride "Amp" , from The Loft in their "50% off last years models" sale, $110. Can't wait to try them out now, my wife thinks I'm wierd for wearing them around the house, My daughter understands.... When will something be open again? For reference to everyone else looking for boots, now that both my daughter and I have been to both the loft (this time) and Starting Gate (last time) I would say this: The people at the Loft were very helpful, but didn't really seem so keen to try different boot shapes or have much advice as to what would fit, or the advantages / features of different type of boots. They had a standard fix for not quite fitting properly (heel ramps). The Starting Gate was a much more "personalised" experience, you really felt they wanted to find the right boot for you in your price range. They also had more "tricks" for tailoring the fit of the boot. However, I'm really pleased with my new boots especially for that price...

I left at 5 from Reeders (nr Tannersville), took the slow road (209) up to I-84, drove a little above the speed limit and was in K-mart car-park shortly after 9. It's definitely possible, it looks quicker if you are going from Scranton 'cos you don't have the slow bit getting to I-84. The drag up from Rutland takes a bit longer than you think. The drive is definitely worth it, though driving home does indeed suck, though at that point you are so happy you don't care. Any further than our area, unless you drive for a living, will make it a very unpleasant experience. Go for the weekend and relax.

Maybe it's a multi-media / sound unit that will play non-stop ski/snowboard vid's and live shots from thr park. Nope, it's set up straight down the hill, parallel to the slope.

only if you ride straight into them....
