[Aguaholic]

Has anyone been snowboarding yet? I just dusted off my boards...and ready to hit some mountains.

Just bought an 08/09 Rome Agent 152 with Rome SDS Arsenal Bindings and new Ride Boots. Rly can't wait to ride that thing!!!

Yeah...I can't wait either...sounds like a nice setup btw

[rgnsup]

It is an awesome setup... Board is so flexible and just looks so smooth. Where do you normally ride?

[mOtion732]

08 custom X with cartels... absolute butter..

just hit it at hunter on saturday some fresh snow in the morning and then the benny crowd demolished the place

VT or NY...but i just got a triple play for MC...just in case i want to stay local. I normally don't ride MC but, for $25 a lift I couldn't say no.

[aka pumpmaster]

been out 4 times so far. waiting for some halfpipes to open.

Where at in NY? My aunt and uncle have a house up in Schroon Lake and I'm gonna try and take as many weekend trips as possible up there..

Locally, I like to hit Blue.

Hey Jay,

[pvjumper05]

[rgnsup]

When you guys say your local... how local are you? I'm a minimum 2 hours away from any mountain.

If i charge the Parkway....I can get to the Creek in about 1½ hrs. If i go to Hunter it's like 3ish.

Has anyone been to Bear Creek Mountain in PA? I'm in Ocean Co. and it seems that Bear Creek and Blue are just as close as Mountain Creek... Maybe even quicker to get to... just wondering if its worth it to escape the annoying Creek crowds...

[wbsurfer]

i cant snowboard yet due to me needing my new boots and bindings but i got only 2 days since i know im getting them as a xmas gift. but after i put them on and get my board tuned and wax im hiting the 6 hour drive and snowboarding this holiday week. and then 3 weeks later ill be hitting it again as its a long weekened for us down here for martin luhter king.

[chadbrochill93]

i heard mountain creek sucks A$$

but ive never been and i cant see a mountain being that bad when i guy like danny kass grew up there

[jGray]

Yeah i been up every weekend and a bunch of times mid week too since the season started. My home mtn is Blue but i go all over...

Bear is a Joke. Their lips to their hits are tiny cheese wedges and most of the Mtn is all ice. Blue this week has been all Pow and with all the other mtns north of it are too.

thanks, creek is ok, they had a hard time with south because some power lines got knocked down from the ice storm, meaning they coudln't make snow for awhile or have lights on. souths open now wiht pretty much one way down, they are blowing on bear, granite is not open. the conditions are good because of the fresh snow from friday, but we'll see what happens after tomorrows rain

and i am less than 30 minutes from creek

Yeah, I pretty much only go to Blue in the Pocono area. Creek gets too packed and too annoying. Blue has really stepped their game up in the past 3 or so years... their park improved 300% and they are cheaper than Creek.

Let's get a 'SwellInfo' group to go boarding!! ... or not

[chadbrochill93]

if you live near the pocono mountains then go to big boulder

its the best park ive ever ridden and it was rated like top 5 on the east coast by transworld snowboarding magazine. its pretty cheap too

[BonerSurfs]

HaHaHa, I get to snowboard everyday!!! Not only that, but i get to snowboard insanely deep powder all day everyday!! Really though, I have ridden about 35 days this year already. Got the snowmobile running!!! So when i wake up my only delima is weather or not i want to waste the gas going out to the backcountry, or weather i want to go shred the resort.

So while u guys are out scoring surf (trust me, I am super jelous), I'm out dropping cliffs, shralping pillow lines, and hucking myself of backcountry booters. Its a tough life but someone has to do it.

P.S. it dumped 16 inches last night!!! Time to bust out the sled!!!!!

[surfskibum]

Bonersurfs I am assuming you are out in Colorado? I am moving out to Keystone Jan 2nd for the rest of the winter. I am so freakin pumped.

[Bomber52]

haha snowmobiling....that stuff is for the birds...trying to get ride of mine...went riding yesterday some nice powder to be had but then switched to mush...trade the sled for a board anyday...im sick of the snow and all the ice and being out of power for 3 days....Have a merry Christmas everyone.

PS i Got a 700 XCSP if you would like to get a new one...

[BonerSurfs]

I hear ya bomber, riding the sled sucks!!! Can't tell you how many times i have gotten my sled stuck and cursed the name of whoever invented snowmobiles!! But I'm snowmobiling to the tops of mountains way out in the backcountry, then getting dropped off at the top and snowboarding down.

TALK ABOUT POWDER!!!!! Dude, there are days out here in the backcountry where you cannot even ride because the snow is over your head!!! So dude if you wanna shred some real pow, (hate to break it to you, but there is no powder on the east coast), keep your sled and move to colorado!!!

[Bomber52]

ya...hahha powder for us is 18inches of fresh snow....hahah I just got rid of the 500, to exepensive to ride when I come home from school...for all the gear I have to ride I can get all new boards and wetsuits...stuff is just too expensive

[cap2nd]

I first went to Utah in 05, and after that I just wont pay to ski on these little EC hills anymore.

[BobTobias]

anyone been to blue lately within the past week? just wondering cuz i plan on going early next week and don't feel like dealing with ice and sloppy mush all day. gracias

[GnarActually]

just went to big boulder last week for my first time, and i had a season pass at bear creek last year, and i must say im never going back to bear ever again. boulder is cheaper and park is so much better, o and they actually get real snow so thats a big plus. they got about 10 inches when i was up there last week.

[chadbrochill93]

sloppy mush all day. gracias



see now thats where your wrong

......talking negative about slush......what a goon

[Jewpac]

Went to Big Boulder yesterday, real fun jump line...1st and 3rd were alright, but the second jump was really fun...Couple fun rails, buncha boxes
