    Default Snowboarders?

    sup everyone, winter is almost here. Anyone snowboard? I started two years ago, been to mainly Okemo in Vermont. Once to Sugar Mtn (lame). Hopefully this year I'll have a new Burton board rather than a rental, and most likely going to Whistler in Canada this year.

    tried snowboarding for the 1st time up in gatlinburg last season. it was lotsa fun but a little difficult. but ppl have been telling me skiing/snowboarding there sucks compared to the real thing and it's a lot easier to learn on better mountains. so this winter i'll try out west...

    Just started boarding least season (January). I bought used instead of renting. Was lucky enough to cut my teeth on the slopes in Jackson Hole, WY.

    I ride a 155 GNU Altered Genetics and am considering going longer because of the AWESOME powder out west.

    If you haven't ever boarded out west then you are missing out big time. It is expensive, and it will ruin you for the ice patches that pass for ski slopes in the east/southeast..... but its so worth going at least once.

    Started about shit, I guess almost 9 years ago. Haven't been in about two years, it's been too expensive.

    I was born in New Hampshire till I was 14, been snwboarding a good 12-13 years I would guess. make a lot of trips to Cataloochee in the winter since that is the closest mountain to me, but make other trips to good mountains as well. Utah has the best snow in the country that I have boarded on so far.

    Ugh. No reason to go out of the country if you're still going to end up in the east. Montreal is just as icy as the hills here in the east.


    Why not go west domestically?

    i start 2 seasons ago and im hooked ever since. went to sugar mtn and cataloochee and covered just about every mountain from central to southern of California. that big storm they had last season in california made the trip even better Whistler is on the top of my list though.

    set up thirtytwo boots
    nitro revolt 152
    09 burton p1 bindings

    also have a brand new nitro sub pop forsale its more of a park board thats why i need to sell it for something else.
