Burton has a good line of bags.

I have the 'wheelie gig bag'.

Room for two decks, bindings, boots and all the soft goods you can stuff in it.

Burton Gear Bags

Dakine has similar products that some of my friends use and like.

Hoping for some Freshies overnight. Heading to Steamboat for another ski day tomorrow before heading to Park City for a few days to see the twin brother.

Just spent the weekend in Colorado. I'm a beginner snowboarder so I don't have a great reference point for the conditions, but I'm told it wasn't great.

Friday - Keystone - Got a lot of runs in. Did some night skiing. Logged 19,000 vertical feet on the epic mix.
Saturday - Breck - Peak 6 was fun. Peaks 7 and 8 were pretty icy. Too crowded also.
Sunday - Loveland - This mountain was a lot of fun. Great value at $53. Probably the best snow of the weekend.

I have been watching the snow falls over the last month. It does not seem like much snow, except for yesterday, in the last 4-5 weeks. Is it setting up to be a crappy late season? Going to Copper the last week of the month. Hoping the skies open up in the next couple of weeks. Lots of money out to go slide on ice.

Epic 3 day powder trip. Snow finally showed back up. I think it's gonna be a good late season.

Went Steamboat on Monday. Solitude yesterday and Canyons at Park City today. Today in PC was some of the best snow all season. Absolutely random pop up powder day. So good. Hell of a 3 day bender of skiing and driving.

I use this to carry my blizzard bonafide 180's, fire arrow 3 boots poles, helmet, goggles, jacket, pants. Problem is that's all I can get without being over 50lbs for airlines. But it's a good bag Dakine double.

Been in Jackson Hole since Thursday. No new snow here this week. Supposed to dump between 4-8 inches tomorrow. Yesterday it got up to 60 degrees and everything was slushy and wet. Did meet Sean Payton during lunch at the Handlebar and talked about Nola for a few minutes. Saw him on the slopes again today.

Yessir. Got a screaming pro deal on my Rossi boots and skis. Bout $600 for boots, bindings, and skis.


Snows in the forecast. Powder days pretty much all week. Could get deep. Hitting Vail Thursday. Trying to get a shift covered to go to Beaver Creek Tuesday.

First off - FU Cosmo. Started skiing in the 80s, switched to a snowboard in 1990 and never looked back. Skiiers are d-bags

It is actually good to see skiing making a comeback though and balancing out with snowboarding. Skiers should thank snowboarding for advancing their sport. Skiing in the 80s and 90s was much more different (boring) than the 00s and 10s. Skiers enjoy terrain parks as much as boarders and your equipment has progressed based off snowboard design.

Just back from Crested Butte, great week there. Never been there and even when I lived in Colorado for some time. It was always a lengthy drive from Denver, with Summit county so close.

Crested Butte is a great town and mountain, worth the drive. It has a huge collection of double diamonds and no lift lines. The people there are probably the nicest of any CO resort I have been to.

I hate T-bars (not snowboard friendly), but the high lift really gets you to some nice areas with a little hike.

It is also cheaper overall (lifts, food, lessons, rentals, etc.) than the I70 mountains. Paid for some group lessons for the kids, they got put with the same instructor for an all day private. Cannot beat that.

Even after snowboarding for 26 years, moguls are still the work of the devil. I can board down the side of a cliff, but I run into a blue mogul run and I just say "oh f*ck".
