first run down lazy around 9 was real lose snow, then took a run down razors which wa eh, it was getting worse everytime i went back up so i hit paradise and encountered no redcoats, was quite nice. The it was off to teaching my little sister how to snowboard for the rest of the day. and the wind was horrible by 1, i took one last run while she got her boots off in the lodge and i barely made it to sidewinder. but overall had fun and im ready to hit up stratton all next week then off to school

smuggs was the place to be today. buddies that went to stowe said it was no good all tracked out by lunch. we met a local on the lift and he showed us the goods, our buddy who met him smelled the burbon on him when they were talking and later ended up giving us what he had left. Top 3 best runs i have ridden, i havent ridden powder much but that was the best day. we just expected a mellow 2 hour session after our last classes of the smester. I am so happy i couldnt stop smiling the whole way down. ahhh now to go and relax and drink a few. best pre christmas pre finals present ever.

i heard everyone threw down, bunch of kids from up here went down, one kid evan williams i think might have competed not sure how he did. he is apart of new intelligence here are some shots of the contest, there might be a few others in other sections on the site. All the photos were taken by Christian Shumacher who also rips. http://www.cfsphotography.com/snow-culture.html there are 2 good pictures in portraits from the jam

up here in burlington it was pourign rain all morning then changed over to snow at about 10:30 and is conming down pretty steadily now. all of the reports io ahve seen are different, some saying southern VT will get more snow and others putting the champlain valley at the heart of it, possibly 12 inches into friday. It sucks not ahving a car up here and friends who want to study a shitload for finals, i need a break from all of this work. picture to come

stowe is pretty freaking expensive if money is something you are taking into consideration, but there is awsome terrain sugarbush has decent terrain and doesnt get as crowded as other places. its hard to give one place because they are all pretty different

it twas quitw good, cant wait to get back again on either thurs or sat. still have yet to find andd be shown by the older kids whats goos

in something like this with 6 ft walls

it was and the set up overall was like nothing else jsut thought id get it up there for some stoke, and we are pretty sure we have the battle for burlington in the bag again for this year, but we are certainly lacking on the snowboarding side

first for skier was kevin Mclory second was a freshman christian for snowboarding first was Nicholas Briggs they didnt really announce a second place but when talking with judges it would have been a kid named Matt Stillman there was a riders choice award was given to a kid but i am drawing a blank on his name

it was an awsome atmosphere everyone was pumped it went on without a hitch. i threw my first disaster to front board. Hopefully it is even better next year and there should be an edit comming eventually. and possibly some shots taken by a red bull photographer that might go to espn for some backyard segment they are making few more here

las night here at Saint Michaels we had our 7th annual jibfest. This year the first date got rained out moved to tonight but we decided to push it forward because it was guarunteed dto pour rain tonight. We began setting everything up in the field fri morning at 10 made the call around 2 to have the contest that night. It was choas. Luckly we got hooked up with a hydrolic trailer and fill it all the way to teh top of the 6 foot walls with rink snow from UVM. enough talking Set up: 2 15 foot drop in's on one side was a flat down box with a flat rail in the ground about 30 ft behind that. on skiers left was a flat rail on a platform with a 5 ft drop, a kid threw a 270 on to sketchy 630 out and a wallride set up diagonal. look below more pics to come soon

sick i just won, i never win anything, i gave up last year after the first week, hopefully i dont lose this txt.

i suggest skipping park city to ride, i personally would suggest snowboasin, does not get crowded but is farther from SLC than other resorts.

yea i am deffinitly interested in pipe gloves or goggles if tghey are the right price

yea i am thinking about getting some or the shorts, shin padding would be nice too cuz i messed ym shins up trying to learn to get onto a rail urban set up. any company suggestions, nick?

i Have oakley a frames a tthe moment, have always been lookign for an extra pair of goggles, doesnt matter wht company, could be another pair of a frames, but i feel that they dont fit quite right with the RED trace helmet i have, anyone else have this problem?

so who is going to head up for opening day potentially the first?

i was so happy when i saw snow when i walked to class and this sight... http://www.stowe.com/mountain/webcam.php

doug is correct, it was alot of fun meeting new kids who want to do this type of stuff all the time, im not very good at rails so it was fun getting better but my shin is black yellow red and swelling like a bitch, but it was well worth it

i know they arent the best quality, but enjoy

went down to a rink yesterday with some older kids from school and set up a rail that they had chained up in the woods. I was wierd being on snow for the first time in, well im not quite sure when the last time was but it had been too long. too quite the beating ill have pictures up soon and today when driving around, we saw 2 groups of kids hitting up different handrails, so many around here

yea im going with an open mind, i was very suprised when MGMT's kids played in Thats it Thats All

ahhhh saw it last night at th premire in burlington, was very sick, it was good all the way through and not one handrail in it, quite impressive, go buy it and tonight im off to see the premire of No Correct way at UVM, no admission fee!

when you think about it, bindings are just as important as a decent board, like mentioned before, you need a solid pair of binidings to transfer you power ot the board, but if your bindings are solid you should be fine, if your board is substatialy too small for you then go for a new one. I ride my old K2 that was my first board sometimes adn it still holds up okay, there is a few difference in how it rides. But it isnt the board making you better its the progression of your skills. after reading some reviews it seems like it could sustain into an intermediate board also, just depends on how you feel with it under your feet in the end i am going to have to say boots>board>bindings
