There are still a bunch of features up on cascade and timberline.....

I'm gonna try to make it out....be skiing the Lib Techs...Orange pants ...Black Jacket

What time you gonna be at BC....

I'm going this am to ride the Libby's......

I can't ski that well so it's interesting for me............................

As said before,you gotta get creative......One of the reasons I bought skis this years was to make BC more interesting..

I'll be in Montana next week.....but sadly not Whitefish...Hopefuly next year...

I always like the old timey ski pics/film......

Was a nice day to wash/wax/clean out the Subie...Also hosed out the garage of all the shit the car brings in ....but I also put skis on my park flyer....

She just wouldn't let it go....I wish somebody would have punched her in the baby maker........

That is mutha fuckin bomber......well done!!!

It was really filling up when I left at 11:30 Here is the Line Traveling Circus at BC.....Comes in at 4:26ish.....Not very long but kinda cool to see.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_VmOCbYXGM#t=313

Yep, yesterday was stellar..Even this morning was pretty top shelf with the snow over night......A lot was groomed out,but you could go pretty much were ever your courage would take you... Today was my first time riding powder on skis....I must say it did not go real well...still had a ton of fun,but I can't turn well with them...Snowboard is way easier for me....

Really nice conditions this late afternoon/early evening.....Looked like a quick 2/3" came down.......

Interesting interveiw with Shaun White http://www.snowboardermag.com/shaun-white-interview-2014/

Bear Creek.

Could have used a fanny flap this morning........

Some pis from riding this am...Prolly 8+ inches...It's great riding untracked in this,but man get in where it's been tracked and it sucks..Very lumpy

I too started riding in the early eighties...of course I couldn't ride at any resort cause they wouldn't have any of that kinda stuff on the hill...but I stuck with it and taught wyself to ride..and when they started to open the doors to resorts I was like fuck yeah!!..There was only a handfull of people that rode and if you saw omebody riding you either knew them or you went over and got to know them....It was so cool to be at the begining of what everybody thought was going to be a fad....90 some percent of the skiers thought you should be kicked off the mountain...it was awesome..out of all my friends I was the only one who snowboarded..... I never skied before I snowboarded....Around the mid 90's I gave it a try. it was OK, but I still like snowboarding way more....(I never had to hike back up the hill to retrieve my equipment after a fall)...But as Poconovfr said,Elan came out with parabolics.When I saw them I thought the people that said it's just a fad/you shouldn't be alowed on the mountain are now skiing snowboard tech...So I bought a used pair of Atomics and gave it another try in the eary 2000's....used them I couple of time and then they ended up for sale.Just didn't do it for me.Still like snowboarding better.Parks were really starting to come into there own and you could ride at just about any resort.Tech in snowboard had come along way also..They made beginner specific boards,carving boards(although they had been making them for sometime)boards with different flex..Plus the media was all over snowboarding.Everybody thought it was just soooo cool.When I was an instructor there was just endless amounts of kids wanting to learn to snowboard.The money coming in was great for tech and the huge popularity was great for upstart companies, but lost was the coolness of a fringe sport.That's what I miss most in snowboarding.. Fast forward to present day...I don't ride the park anymore(responcibility got in the way)but still love to ride...Bumps now have replaced the park..but I ride at BC most of the time and bumps are not always present....So I bought a pair of Lib Tech skis and am having an absolute blast on them...It's made BC a little more challenging for me.I still prefer a snowboard as my main mode down the hill but skiing is fun man... I feel the rise of park skiing and it's people have a lot to do with snowboardings decline(if it really is declining) Holy shit what a wall of text!!!

Doe mt/Bear Creek used to have one...Once I got the hang of riding them they were no big deal..When I went to Europe they had alot of them

Those pics really make me want to score a set of XC skis...

I kinda hoped they would leave some untouched but they groomed everything,still nice to ski on.....sorta like being on two sticks instead of one for the moment....Crispy morning indeed......

Try copy and paste on YT...That's where I found it.....The Libs I bought are sort of an all mountain ski.....I used to ride park like ten or so years ago....not really any more....responsibility got in the way.....

Came across this on YT...I'm not really a jib/bonker,but dig what some of these guys do.... Enjoy....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O07-Y5iIPEY
