Skiing and Snowboarding

Always seem to have some sort of plans that get in the way. Doesn't help that the wife doesn't really ski either. I told her next year, I don't care, I am going skiing.

 

There are a lot of things she can do while you're skiing, at least in most of the places I've been to. They may cost you, but not as much as an unhappy wife!

 

My season is almost over, but we're still holding unto some snow above tree line.

 

Looks like you're headed toward Forget Me Not. I loved those runs off the top! At least if you are where it looks like - Jackson Hole. If not, it looks awful similar!

 

Breckenridge CO

Top of the Kenosha lift.

 

Oh, I've been there once, but it's been a few years. It looks a LOT like the top of the Panorama lift at Jackson Hole.

 

Season’s still hanging on up at T-Line…
Couple more weeks on the winter pass, hoping for some fresh next week.

 

Glacier day party laps with the snow machines a month ago,

 

Oh I really hope there's some late May snow! This is the first year in over a decade that I haven't boarded. Moving back to CO in 2 weeks!

 

Projected closing day is June 8. It may change due to conditions but the cooler weather and snows we've been having it sure is helping out them out.

Yeah....Living in South Texas we not only lack the snow we also lack the hills.
The closest I've ever gotten was riding pieces of cardboard down an earthen dam when it had frost on it.

 

Mt Bachelor not giving up just yet.

 

Was able to get one last day in before the end of the season...

 

My first board looked like this, but with a white deck.

 

1995 K2 Eldorado 169cm
Base is red, white, and blue similar to the top.
Next season will be the 30th season on the snow for this board.

I drilled the hole in the nose myself for a tow rope - the next year K2 started doing it at the factory. That was before spilt boards.

 

Skiing/boarding on Memorial Day weekend?!?!?!?!? AMAZING!!!!!

 

Arapahoe Basin still has a week left. I've long put my winter toys away though.

 

Mt Washington in NH got a foot this past week. Too much going on around the house to pull a surprise 6 hr (each way) side quest to the snow.
And the winter gear is all but socked away here too.

 

Every time I see a pic of your deck I'm nothing short of amazed. I remember when it debuted i wanted it so badly. Never did get one though... I've always had burton boards and lib-tech's due to industry hook ups. How many days do you think you have on it? I'd guess it easily has to be well north of 500 with 29 seasons on it.

 

We're pushing 90 highs and only 70ish lows at night down here on the coast. Gotta get my A/C tuned up for the summer!

 

I’m lucky to get 6-10 days on the snow with how life (work) is. I want to change that next year. And there was about 10 years where the kid’s weren’t into the snow yet (my wife never has been) so it was actually used as a sled when we got snow at the house!

So, realistically, probably closer to 200-220 days on snow for it.

I’ve only rented three other boards since I bought it, and only owned three boards before it (not counting the “Black Snow” I had for about a week).

1. ‘88 Mistral Yukatan 1600
2. ‘88 Hooger Booger Grinder 165
3. ‘92 Nitro Diablo 176

not my pictures, but these were the decks
