where do you guys pick up your gear at? I need to get some new googles, gloves and boots. Local board shops have some disgusting markups any good online shops?

Looking into getting some flow rival quickfits (I'm done doing up laces lol) tried them on today and they felt like comfy slippers :megusta:

Sick! We've got a serious low pressure system brewing near Hokkaido. Its gonna puke like 2 meters over the next week. Woooooooo.

Don't make me jelly. Next year I want to go to Japan.. I almost hopped a plane from Germany a month ago when I couldn't find a job and there was no snow but I could only get a Visa for Japan if I was in Canada. So,... :(

Its been dumping the last few days and heres the result in the village.

Anybody score any good deals on gear today for boxing day?

Haven't seen any decent deals round these parts at all besides the normal last season sales which is pretty disappointing. Going out to grab new gloves and goggles tomorrow anyways. Then a week up at washy :fullofwin:

Has anyone been to Stevens pass? Trying to decide between Stevens Pass and Mt Baker next week! A comparison would be sweet or your opinion on which is better.

Thanks!

Went to whistler a couple weeks ago.. busy as shit there. Snow wasn't very good either.

Going to Baker tomorrow!!!!!!!! :joy: :megusta: :fullofwin:

was at cypress on thursday. snow was pretty nice aside from a few icy patches. my goggles flew off my head when i bailed and they broke (WTF?!?)

post up the conditions for those who are going to baker; never been there but from what i hear its unreal.

All this #$@$ rain and no snow in sight.

Just got back from a 2 day boarding trip down Washington. Baker was meh.. Crystal mountain on the other hand was EPIC!!

doesn't seem like a lot of people go to grouse here.

anyone want to go to whistler for 70 bucks ? I'm going this friday and i got a 2 for 1 pass
let me know if you want more details ? :D really dont want to spend 107 for a single ticket.

anyone ?

How did you get a 2 for 1 pass?

Drove all the way up to cypress just to get fogged out FTL.

im going up saturday....I hope it's not totally shit weather......... ><

just got back from 5 days at washy and conditions were pretty bad in the new year. boarded for the first 2 nights in the park for the first time and had sooo much fun but my wrists took a beating lol 3rd day was way too foggy and 4 and 5 were pouring rain :failed:

Once this warm front passes fun times shall be had.

Cypress claims unlimited visibility today.... For real ?

Came back from Big White for New Years. Conditions were... meh, needs more snow. Fack I'm spoiled from last year, this season is hurting.

I have used my grouse y2 play pass a total of once this season.

I have 3 months to salvage it.
