Whats up guys im late to the party... im not a pro but i can get down the mountain.:wink: ive been boarding for going on 25 years. ive been almost everywhere in ca over the years. im cheap and have kids so i have season pass at boreal in truckee. i try to go 1-4 times a week depending on my schedule. my park board is a santa cruz riot and my powder board is soon to be an arbor cosa nostra or an iguchi pro splitboard.(the wife said shes getting me one of them for xmas) i can ski but im a snowboarder.

If anyone in norcal(especially around sac) wants to hit the slopes im ready. we can carpool or meet up there. i bring beer, smoke, and food usually. i can chill on the easy stuff or jump off small cliffs if thats your kinda thing. just need atleast a couple days in advance to clear my schedule.

Ill be out at boreal tomorrow... hope they have the damn half pipe ready this time:cuss:

Its a few years old but here's a still pulled from a video of skiing in Glacier NP a few summers ago. This snowfield was atop glacier that had a few cracks in it, we thought we'd made our way past all of em and was lettin er rip when out of nowhere appears this ugly, must-huck crevasse! Technically a moat but whatever, I'm still shittin me pants!

Lol, lived to ski another day...1326237776-crevaasse_ch_.jpg

Yea, only one small storm so far, lots of snow making though, unlimited water from lake,as long as temps & RH are low, they blow.
60% of the hill is open, all grommers, getting old already, but still fun.
I'm home for the weekend for plant maintenance.
A couple of storms Mammoths way coming, maybe we will get the tail end.

Check this '80s version of best (worst) ski wipeouts- there's some horrible-to-watch, broken face stuff early on i don't really care to watch. But fast forward to the the top 2 at 2:09. #2 is a giant ON-AREA avalanche (oops!) that entrains at least 1 skier. But its the #1 wipeout at 2:22 that will have you laughing your ass off. She clearly chose the right garment wax for the conditions, and crushes a nearly 30-second bump run... think could you beat her in a mogul race @BobBitchen ?!

Skied in the low clouds at Alyeska yesterday, it was gray all day and only the lower mtn is open. All mg/pp. The sun broke through a little bit, and here's a view toward the upper mtn from the lower chair. Can't wait til they open the whole Mtn! Still its fun to get out and rip, and I'm working on skiing backwards.IMG_0067.JPG

At least its a scenic drive to the mountain, these were all shot from the car... :joint:

When I learned to snowboard I used my hockey pants and elbow pads and a helmet...It saved me a lot of pain.
