It's cold. Be prepared

 

My home mountain opens turkey day and just went over the 100 " mark. Looks like another great year.

 

its a little chilly when your not moving

 

Then get out of the parking lot

 

But a rope tied to @speckmon’s truck is more fun

 

I haven't been in a couple years due to life getting in way, but I will definetly make it up to the mountain this year. I miss riding twice a week. I have a Ride Kink 156 wide with ride bindings (I really need a 159 or 160), 32 boots, Oakley Crowbars, and a collection of random outer wear.

 

We can make this happen, have straps...

 

Let’s do it!!

 

That 156W should ride like a 159

 

100” already?!? Where are you?

 

It does, and that's why I still have it. I actually really like how nimble it is. It's a little squirrely at speed though and being a park board with a centered stance I have to work when in deep powder. I'm 6'1" 220 lbs and wear size 13 boots so I could benefit from 159W.

 

I ride a 161 NS SL but used to rise a 168. As for squirrelly.....I UNDERSTAND!!

The new rocker/cambered/rocker boards ride like the best of both worlds. As you know, cambered boards stick to the snow and haul ass!

 

Sorry guys, I had some family in town. Looks like someone made turns at winter Park! I had some friends go to A Basin and said the snow was okay but way to crowded for the 3 runs they have open.

 

I used to ride a kink in my urban shredding days. Really fun park board for jibbing. I could imagine that this is sketch at high speeds. Mine was a 153.

 

That's my Never Summer Insta/Gator on the right there next to Connor's Snowtrooper. It's a 151 with Burton Cartels and I'm rocking Burton Ruler boots. Also notice my Kinco pigskin leather mits on top of my tonneau, those things are the shit!...make your hands sweat on a below zero day...for $25 and a couple layers of Sno-seal

Had a good first, break in day. The Insta is a great directional carving board and I can already feel how ridiculous it's going to be in the deep pow and trees. There was some decent fluff that they left on the edges of the runs which was nice and the few times I hit the trees it ripped, has just enough pop to it too.

Can't wait for mid winter though, a little storm like that would have been great with more runs open and a deeper base.

Cold shmold, shred harder to stay warm!

 

Shredding harder means sweatier rides back up, and cold when the wind is kicking, but trust me...i ain't scared

It ended up being super nice saturday. I bet the riding was good after all the wind the night before reloaded it

 

Looking back I should of thrown your buddy’s skis out of the way to get the Trd logo in there

 

Jackson Hole. 118" as of today

 

Any one going tomorrow?

 

I wish, even tho there's no snow and hardly any runs open. Heading to Key West in the morning, polar opposite

 

I'm heading up tomorrow to either keystone or a basin. I already have 5 in the truck but we can meet up there

 

Know exactly which one?

 

Not sure yet. We will most likely decide in the morning. But a basin is my guess.

 

Hahaha that’s a tough one for some one who doesn’t have that pass

 

Hahaha that’s a tough one for some one who doesn’t have that pass

 

That's right u have Rocky mountain pass?

 

Yes sir. Copper and winter park

 

We will meet up and ride the pass for free later in the year!

 

Sounds good to me!
