It's a skating rink around here, forget the skis...break out the ice skates

Do what makes you happy man. Ride, slide, glide, shred, carve, on whatever you want. It's all about having fun on the mountain. PASR peeps in general arent going to change their discretions against skiboards. Your best advice for skiboards is going to come from skiboardsonline.com, or skiboards.com like I mentioned in the other thread. I linked you there not out of hate, but to send you to who would help you. 88cm is really short and even the progression of skiboards is wider and longer just like the progression of skis. Go there and ask about skiboards, if you want advice on skis ask here. No hate from me, skiboards are fun but lack stability at speed, where skis have a much greater learning curve. I eventually switched back over to skis and manned up to the learning curve as it was the right thing for my needs. It may or may not be for you, only you can decide what you want to do out on the mountain. Whatever you choose, just make sure you are using the equipment correctly rather than as a crutch. Even skiboarders don't want you using skiboards just because they're easier to use. The skiboarder stereotype only hurts skiboarders while adding fuel for the haters. Good luck man...

Brown seems to be the color of choice for jackets....lol

Not an option, if I'm at the mountain I need to be available to work if they need me....especially on weekends. That's how it works.

Good luck finding a sub 88cm skiboard with real bindings that aren't meant for groms.

I think we have a pair of groove 70cm ones in the basement somewhere. Standard lock_in plastic bindings though. Fwiw, you don't need breakaway bindings for something under 99 cm if your under 5 foot

sounds like www.skiboardsonline.com or www.skiboards.com would be a nice fit for you. been there, done that, was fun for a little while, than I manned the hell up and went back to skis. I use my skiboards for the sledding hill and on gaper days now...

I always have to teach, it's a matter of when and how busy it is.

It's been snowing here for a while now....since around 12:30 no accumulation but coming down pretty good

I'll be there for a few quick turns early, then leaving at 8:55 for check-in

Wtf, I wonder how that posted twice but an hour apart. Weird shit I tell ya.

We got 15"

We got 15"

It's a damn snowicane out there.

9am meet is bad for both Dom and me as its check-in time, I don't know what my schedule is so don't base it around me. My luck I'll be working all day anyway.

It has more to do with the snow on school property, and the school bus routes than it does my house. I can't take any more time off from work right now.

I'm good with it normally, but right now I personally don't want it around here only at the mountain...lol

8-12" expected for the I95 corridor......aka my house. I don't want this shit down here... someone push this up north towards jack frost please..

I had a blast at Homewood... The one traverse along the top off the ellis chair was a little slow the further you went on it, but it honestly didn't matter any to us as it was soooooo worth it. (The Ellis chair was closed for 2 days prior to us going which made it even nicer as there isn't a way to access that terrain without that chair) Hobbitland was money, and since the traverse over was slow and a little flat noone was going over that way which made it so money. I didn't get the views that you had, I knew they had to be great cause damn the lake is literally right across the street...but we were getting dumped on so we couldn't even see the lake, even from the main groomer takes you to the base under the lift. It's definitely a lot smaller than any of the others (kirkwood, squaw, alpine, heavenly) but so underrated at the same time. It doesn't have that gnarly terrain factor by any means, but the snow was DEEP as all hell, it's has some seriously fun tree runs and stashes galore. I wouldn't hesitate to go back there whatsoever, especially on a bluebird day a day or even 2 after a dump as it doesn't get the traffic the others get. The snow quality the day we were there wasn't the best, it was changing between a mix and wet snow which made it real thick...speed was definitely your best friend that day. I struggled with some of the deeper stuff as I kept sinking in on the flatter areas, and ended up on the groomers which had a foot of fresh on top which was just sick in it's own right. I posted a video from our homewood day somewhere on here.. I'll see if I can find it. (it was the first time I ever did any video so it pretty much sucked, but it gives an idea of conditions we had at least...) I'm glad you got to check the place out as it's cool and damn worth the $$ for what you get IMO. Overall.... Tahoe has everything, Breathtaking views, Serious Terrain, Good Eats, Friendly people...it's definitely the smorgasbord of skiing. You are lucky to have it in your backyard....

Tahoe is a special place..... ; )

Looks like this might only work at vail resorts, although it doesn't work at all for me...
