I like the hiback rotation. It did feel a little weird at first but I got used to it. Better response with. With a 15 boot I would definitely do some research and see what bindings handle that. I have the Burton Co2 and I love them, dont even realize you are strapped in. That said I don't think they are worth the retail price. Luckily I found a nice sale on them.

Anybody ever do the bobsled run up there? Worthwhile?

There is a Colorado based snowboard maker not well known east called Venture Snowboards that makes all their boards at narrow and wide widths. I think the wides all have 28cm waist. They don't have a huge product line but it might be worth a look. http://www.venturesnowboards.com/ I actually bought one from them recently so I can give a review whenever I get a chance to use it. Hopefuly verrry soon.

I skied a long time then felt the urge to lose the training wheel and its been a lot of fun. I would suggest waiting on a purchase until after you tried it a few times. During those first few days you will likely find yourself on the ground and probably even develop a new appreciation for your tailbone. start with a lesson the boots should fit firm enough that you dont get heel lift

If you can ski anything, anywhere, at anytime, then your a 9.

What would happen if you did this?

Word has it Sugarloaf has just under a foot of fresh white stuff.

Still too far out, but Accuweather has a blog that the long range NOAA model does place a storm off the coast on Turkey Day with cold air in place.

Did the kid even apologize? If not thats weak. Would love to have see the look on this guy's face when you told him you were "dropping the skis" so he could take the first shot. lol Whether its a kid or grownup. if they are out of control on the slopes that bad news waiting to happen. Unfortunately that story replays itself season after season.

I have been going to Elk since 1977 (30 yrs to your 20) when my folks first taught me to ski. I like the place, I do, but its not all you stroke it to be.....

Squaw getting off to a nice start

enluclusive LOL

What parts of the mountain were they cutting from? NF? near the LongHaul trail?

I use +12/-12. Everybody is different so what works well for me may not be ideal for you. Experiment with it.

whereabouts?

You can take a look at Venture Snowboards http://www.venturesnowboards.com Each board they manufacture they make in various widths. You could get a 164 with a 24 waist, thats definitely not wide.

Nice shots. You surf right? Next stop Teahupoo amazing photo whoever took it.

Seven Springs was, but they pulled the application. edit: oops should read full posts before I respond.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I hope to take a trip there someday.

According to the reg. it sounds like any potential applications for class 3 license need to already have 275 rooms available at time of application.

"futbol" has some of the rowdiest fans in the world. And if you are a player on a favored team and you lose, your life is on the line. This thread was totally 'jacked. lol

I believe you had a great situation to learn and practice. Carpe Diem

Didnt take long for common sense to hightail outta here

Last Tuesday at Squaw Valley we had 22" new snow. The off trail riding made the trip.
