If you leave your skiing style, ability (be honest), height, weight, home mountain, and any other info you can think of about yourself I'm sure some of our skiers will be able to help you.

This is the biggest problem with marketing skiing/snowboarding as a vacation. I know its how the mountains make money but maybe they should throw some smartstyle into the gaper ads. This guy and his kid came with and attitude similar to that of going to an amusement park. Unfortunately instead of just riding a ride, he has to control his decent. A lot of people have the amusement park mentality when they hit the snow instead of the actuality that every time you strap or click in you are risking your own life as well as the lives of everyone around you. Thats something that a lot of people don't want to hear on vacation, but it is the truth. As much as we joke about Doug's smartstyle school it really would be a great idea.

I was just on special blend's site after downloading fc/lc and it was saying that they were going to a bunch of opening days and had boulder listed as one of them. If you got first chair they're gonna hook you up with a head to toe SB package. On SB's site they have it listed as Dec 1ish. Wow were they off I wonder if they're gonna go later for a day or maybe retroactively award the gear or what. It also says they're gonna be having a little shindig that night at a local bar. Sounds pretty cool I just hope it happens and they don't decide to skip boulder because they missed the first day.

I'm all for bringing n00bs to the mountain to further the sport, but to bring someone who has never seen the snow to what will be certainly the biggest clusterf**k of the year is not a great idea. Only the absolute diehards will be out tomorrow. A complete understanding of smartstyle is a necessity tomorrow, and unfortunately GrilledSteezeSandwich is in VT and can't give a course. Leave the rookie at home and enjoy the early season.

it has to do something with Love park and skating. What exactly i'm not sure. maybe a more urban themed park?

They must have heard about CB and the cold weather safety program :tinfoil:

PICS PICS PICS for the sad few of us who can't make it out

Didn't even know you could do that with the font^

How could you not be stoked? This is probably the most exciting part of the ski season. SUPER STOKE x 10^100000000000000

Well thats not too bad. It will definitely make that area much more manageable on friday nights when its packed, especially if they put a beginner park on mainline again.

Sounds like a lot of trees to be taken down all at once. What are they doing taking trees out by highball/mainline? I'll have to head up over thanksgiving to see what they're doing. I just hope its not to put some glades there. The last thing we need are beginners weaving through trees. though I can't imagine they would do that, I just can't see where they would be pullling them down from in that area.

I think there needs to be some sort of bet where if AJeff loses he has to spend a day on twins at boulder.

Besides between switch and spike and the new trails, where are they cutting them down?

Way to go boulder! They definately have the temps right now. Is this a full confirmation? If it is, I might very well explode with joy tonight.

YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!! First guns on in PA of the season. W00t!!!!! :woot :rock :wiggle ^can you tell I"m a little excited

As a Civil Engineer I find it beyond stupid to have a pump used to fill a pond. Rain/gravity does a great job of that and costs a lot less to operate than a big pump. I'm not knocking you or anything bud, I'm not denying the existence of those pumps, but I think you're just a little mistaken about their purpose.

The pumps send pond water up the mountain and into all the guns.

Any opinions on the rome flag? I'm between that and the forum stomper.

i can get a proform price so somewhere around 50-60% off and I think i narowed it down to the forum stomper and the rome slash.

Ok, so I can get a proform from either forum or rome. I need a WIDE board which will be 70% mountain 30% park. I know I did this a few times but its hard to pick a new stick. I'm 6' and 190lbs. Thanks in advance

rotation? thats what my emech test tomorrow is mostly on. Hey TP4, nice polar bear.

Does it still count as a boardslide if less than 6 inches of my board hangs over each side?

Eh, no big deal to me. I love penn state football, but the sport as a whole I can take or leave. It really wouldn't make a difference to me if the NFL didn't even exist. I'm much more of a basketball/soccer/golf fan, but that usually gets me some blank stares. I really didn't realize it until I hit college but football runs peoples lives. There are just some people out there that don't even want to hear of another sport's existence because they are so devoted to this game.

'Kitten is actually a Lion?!? W00t, score another one for the good guys!! I bet you're pretty pumped for this weekend, make sure to watch college gameday and look for me. The place is exploding out here already.
