Whitefish, MT And locally, an undisclosed, never crowded resort in the Catskills that has some great sidecountry terrain
What's the park situation like at whitetail? Blue Mountain looks like it's park is definitely pretty solid, same with Big Boulder!
I love your Stomp Pad... Those things are so dope still. Function and style at their best. Thats one hell of a groomer cruising stance you got going on there too.
I would love to set up a jib course in my yard, but the state of Delaware looks like ___________. Consider yourself lucky.
Definitely a board designed for big powder turns. I don't know how people rock non twins in this modern day and age.
Lochness, I hit up Liberty/Whitetail/Roundtop on the reg once they open up. Usually every friday-sunday with some buddies. If I feel like some change of scenery I also hit up snowshoe, 7springs, timberline, and wisp.
Sounds like all the places I plan on hitting, my fiances buddy used to build the park at Snowshoe and she grew up at Wisp, seven springs street plaza has been a dream to hit for years for me. Lets ride!
Blues got the best park! If your an east coast rider and don't ride park I reall don't know what your doing. I haven't been to white tail in a couple years but I would expect their park to be as ****ty as always..
Lochness, yea dude im down to ride. Let me know. Seven deff has the best parks in the mid Atlantic. They are rated as top second best east coast parks by transworld snowboarding and their builders are invited to superpark the past couple of years.
I work at ski shop in the winter and get a discount season pass for blue for about $250. I ride there 2 or 3 times a week if possible. And since I work weekends I go midweek or late sunday night and its empty. I like Big Boulder too they can open earlier because they are higher up than some of the others around here.
My nearest resort sells season passes for $260 to any adult that had one the previous season...that's sooper cheap for California. Unfortunately, the resort is 2-3 hrs away, depending on road conditions. On the plus side, we get outrageous amounts of snow - frequently over 2 feet per storm and over 3 ft in el nino years. We got so much during 2010-11 storms, some days were practically unrideable at many resorts because most of the terrain isn't steep enough. Two of those storms dropped over 10 ft, each!
well, China Peak is closest to me, but I have been known to make the 6 hr trek up to Tahoe. Thing is, all CA's Sierra Nevada resorts get massive amounts of snow. During el nino years, moisture comes up from the south, so the southern-most resorts (Mammoth, Dodge Ridge, China Peak) can get significantly more snow than pretty much anywhere on the entire west coast...including Alaska.
I know what you mean man, I'm originally from Las Vegas! Riding southern Utah, the resort in Vegas, Mammoth, Bear, and Occassional Tahoe. El Nino's are heavenly. I'm so mad I moved this year being it's a good el' nino. The last one we really had which was like 2006 ish snowed so heavy at our house in Utah that our back porch that was 15 feet off the ground became ground level. You could literally walk onto the snow.
Those are old palmer plates cause I have gigantic feet. it helps eliminate toe drag. I ride switch and keep my bindings at 2 degrees each so i get bad toe drag without those.
2 degrees? How is that comfortable? If you moved out to a nice 12 -12 you would get rid of a lot of that toe drag and gain more control.
I must have weird knees but its the only way they confortable tried many diff settings but 2 is where its at for me. been snowboarding for 26 yrs so believe me ive tried it.
