Early season was good to me. Lotta days of laps at ABasin or Keystone in November.
First season up here so making sure I get my money's worth. Though I plan on being up this way for awhile.

You can ski to sea. The fog covers Stephens Passage. Admiralty Island in the background

Wanna make an Alaska trip when I get more into backcountry. Nice, strong maritime snowpack up there. And big lines.

Heliskiing around Haines or Valdez is pretty big right now. Haines in particular.

Where do you wanna race. Be in Jackson, Wy all winter if you wanna take the private jet up here to race. Also ski every day on the pass or resort so ya you are the best winter rider on this forum.

I was in Denver for February to October of last year. Loved it but the mountains called. Can't wait for summer up here.
I'm off Sunday so I'll be down to ski wherever. Hopefully some refills on snow from now until then. Im in Silverthorne, so never mad about just driving to Keystone instead of Breck.

Yeah..... I've been skiing since before snowboards hit the slopes. Doubt you'd board circles around me....
Well, maybe these days, since I have slowed a bit.

How you like your rossis? Have some 4 year old Blizzards, i like them but might be ready for a change next year
Posted on 1/7/16 at 9:51 pm to Cosmo
I don't have a ton to compare them to in my skiing career really but I really like them. Ski them everyday. Not the best on some conditions but so light and rockered that they are very easy to ski and turn. Awesome in powder.
I got a pro deal I couldn't turn down.

Haha I do not listen to dub step... Nor will I be in Wyoming anytime soon. I also said most, so if you've been skiing for 10+ years, you have a shot.
Unfortunately I just moved from the Seattle area to Raleigh, NC so my snowboarding career has taken a hit. I ask where the best place to board is here and people laugh and say nowhere.
I don't mind skiers, and I have no clue why most hate snowboarders. I grew up in Louisiana where I skateboarded most of my life, so it was natural I picked up snowboarding.

So you can say this stuff

Snowboarders are to be feared and avoided -if you see a snowboarder, assume they are going to fall in the next 5-10 seconds. They fall all the fricking time. So be prepared to dodge them. -Never ski on the backside of a snowboarder. Their downhill field of view sucks and they tend to cut randomly and wont see you on their backside. -Try to avoid riding up a lift with snowboarders, particularly a 6 person lift, they are a clusterfrick getting off a lift with multiple people. -snowboarders tend to wear earbuds with shitty music turned really loud which makes them even more oblivious to their surroundings -keep your young children away from snowboarders. They cant complete a sentence without putting "frick" in it
And this....
