dude im telling u rome or burton are awsome..them academys look nice to and k2s seem nice to so get one of those...u wanna get a board about the stiffness of u had and u dont really need to wide of a board sence we dont get alot of powder up there.but ya if i still suck as skiing by febuary im goin back to boarding wit u and wreckin montage up again.
get an atomic radon..i have one and it controled very nice on the ice,its really light and in the park its a little stiff but i dont do to many butters so it was nice for me...but it might be even better for u sence u weight more..i weight about 120 when i used this(last year)
best way to store skis...uhh during the winter just dry them when u get home so the edges dont get rusty then store em in a warm spot in ur house and just lean em against something.
summer storing them uhh put a nice coat of wax on them and turn the din on the bindings all the way down then when u go to take it for a wax/sharpen in the begining of the year they will scape all that wax off and put a fresh coat of was on.
naw its the weather...it rained all last night then snowed during the day but im pretty sure they are making snow to build the snow back up so hopefully tomarrow it will be back to normal or atleast close to it.
