since summers gone i cant stop thinking about snowboarding just staring at my board anyone doing the same thing?

[beetea]

broke my ankle last january, and i bought a whole new set up. been sitting in my garage. been waiting to release the beast !

[incubus]

ouch lucky you wit a new setup

im thinking new boots first cause im not getting enuff response off my bindings maybe cause my boots are a size big hahah

[JHuJHu]

bought new snow gear. Im ready to use it! fack my snow gear has just been in my closet for so long. I just want to go outside and use it on a grass hill... can't wait.

i bought a pass for grouse. :D

[G]

anyone know if they are gonna increase the pricings on the mountains? Also, whats the diff between cypress and grouse? ive gone to cypress like 20 times but havn't been to grouse once..

[incubus]

i like cypress better

grouse at the end of the day is kinda gay walking back to the cable car being in there wit everyone smelling yeah no thnx lol

[haymura]

its gonna be packed on both cypress and whistler and we all know it sucks on seymour and grouse. so where are u guys planning to go boarding instead? or are u just gonna suck it up in a crowded mountain?

[incubus]

wanna try big white and some other mountains any opinions?

[G]

im thinking of joining some university club ski trips... big white / sun peaks? which one is better? how are the hotels?

[Gh0stRider]

can't wait....
also gonna order a camera that i can strap to a helmet.

Cypress Mountain is closed to the public from February 1st to March 8th, 2010.

http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/olympics/index.htm?aheading=2#tabs

Not going to get much boarding done in feb/march.
Thats gonna suck.
Been thinking about boarding almost everyday lately.

[saucywoman]

I've been itching to get back out there since the season ended but even more so since buying my pass in june. Sun Peaks has a couple inches of snow, so I'm praying the season will be as good or better than last year. 2 more months :D

[Vangruver]

why wait?

there's snow atop baker right now, if you want to get your legs and core in shape, i say start HIKIN!

every season, cept the last, we hike and build a monster booter at baker to get us in shape.

[saucywoman]

what's the hike like? that sounds very tempting, lol

[incubus]

awesome vangruver is here now its a thread

[Vangruver]

It's a hike, not a walk in the park.

think of it as a mild uphill hike but with lots of beer, and your gear, sometimes a shovel or three, and camera equipment.

oh wait, that's just us.

its a pretty mild hike but a little tougher only because of the gear you carry

[Gh0stRider]

would love to go but i go to vcc :P

you dont have to be attending their school to go with them.

this actually sounds quite interesting. I doubt I would carry anything but my boots and board, lol. I am a beginner so I wouldn't be using a shovel to build jumps or anything like that, lol

I should see if the brother wants to do this. How do you get there and all that fun stuff, lol?

[Vangruver]

If you are coming west, take the Sumas exit off of highway #1

That's the closest one to Mt. Baker. As you cross the border, WATCH YOUR SPEED. Sumas is notorious for catching Canucks going over 30MPH.

After that, just follow the signs. and BAM in about an hour [depending on how fast you drive] you'll be atop baker and ready to hike.

[saucywoman]

yeah I'd be coming from Kamloops. Approx how long of a hike is this? I wonder about avalanches though too :S thanks for the info :)

It's a shame my femme dun shred the knar. Or is it a blessing? you be the judge.

yeah i guess for now il get new boots i can probly get away with using a large binding since il get 9 or 9.5 boots

I am getting a whole new setup this year can't wait for payday next week!!!! :D

How long is the drive to Baker?

I am really thinking about getting a season pass for Cypress. I realize they aren't open for a month but I thought I'd still get my money's worth... especially since the passes are so cheap this year!

[Vangruver]

To baker isn't all that long.

the drive to sumas [abbotsford] then crossing the boarder, then roughly 45- an hour and a bit based on the conditions and the traffic, and how FAST you drive.

Baker is truly the best mountain locally [within reason] that provides you with the best snow fall possible.

If you have your avalanche gear and know avy safety, then baker is truly the best you can ride without taking a heli somewhere.

[incubus]

ohh man gota hit up baker now

ps i dont have avy gear and dont know the safety :P maybe well hop on a heli wit u one day if were worthy ahaha

where do u guys go to get your boards tuned? thnx

wat do u guys think of rome targa?

[Vangruver]

ohh man gota hit up baker now

ps i dont have avy gear and dont know the safety :P maybe well hop on a heli wit u one day if were worthy ahaha

where do u guys go to get your boards tuned? thnx

wat do u guys think of rome targa?

Taking a day course in avy safety could mean the life or lives saved if it came down to it.

Even if you ride the locals, knowing the snow lines, and the snow pack details could tell you why the patrol cuts the hills after a heavy snowfall.

A deep heavy snowfall doesn't always mean GREAT riding the day after.

where can i get more info for the course

[saucywoman]

^^ the problem is finding people to go with me. Also I am a beginner so not as good as people I know and don't want to burden them with sticking to begginer runs. I guess another prob is money for the hill, accomodations and gas/food, etc, lol. I have a pass to sun peaks so all I have to worry about it making sure I have enough gas to get there, lol

[incubus]

hey you guys think whistler will be open lastweek of nov?

[Vangruver]

hey you guys think whistler will be open lastweek of nov?

usually they try and open some run or 5 during the american thanks giving.

they have their guns running in full force to apply some sort of coverage for their green runs....

and sauce.....I totally understand about the $$$$ factor. Without that there is no road trip ability and no shred fun.

The skill level of you isn't worth mentioning ;) just do a bait and switch :P

exact things im dealing with too. most people i know are a bit more experienced and i'll be the beginner. and after planning the trip the costs really do add up, if you start with nothing.

for a first/second timer. should i be renting, i plan to go more often/every year, or should i buy all my gear or combination of both. the first time i went it was all rented and through my high school so it was pretty cheap.
Posted via RS Mobile

[saucywoman]

^^if you will be going quite frequently over this season and use for another season or two I'd say buy. I was fortunate to have my board bought for me 3 seasons ago and will be using it again for this season.

^ mm thanks. i'll start looking at equipment now. hopefully its not TOO expensive for everything =/

new rider? looking to quickly gain your skill level?

Make your budget and spend more on=

-gloves, cold wet hands can ruin your day since you may be spending more time picking yourself up from the cold wet snow.

-pants, a cold wet ass is never fun, since you'll be spending time sitting on the cold wet snow, and cold wet chair lifts.

-goggles/eye protection, what you can't see you'll run into, that will deffly ruin your day if you hit something solid.

-thermals, beleive it or not, you can stay drier in synthetics or polyester as it has more breathability than natural fibers [except wool]

- socks and boots. THINNER IS BETTER. the warmth of your feet depend on blood flow, if you have thicker socks it will be colder to your toes than thinner socks, since you need to have a pocket of warmth around your toes. And the only way to warm your toes is with proper blood flow.

And that's pretty much it.

You can kit yourself up for UNDER a 1000. Used and consignment is good.

random question but wat are good clubs to hit up in whistler

[GT4RC]

I fell in love with snowboarding half way through the season before last. went 15 times from mid february to the end of march. last year i stopped counting at 30 times. I used to hate winter and get all depressed, this solved that problem.

I bought a whole new setup last season.

capp3l outerwear
ride bindings
ride boots
lib-tech mc kink board
oakley crowbar london police collaboration goggles/glasses/hoodie package
pow gloves
socks, base layer, hat, board bag, lock, tools, etc...

spent about $2500

this year I bought smith i/o googgles and going to pick up a helmet and new gloves. I'd also love new bindings(I cheaped out) and some thirty-two ultralights...

Heres some teasing...

nice pic the snow looks great but kinda icey, where is that

[GT4RC]

it was seymour, on a very hot day. t-shirt weather. it was all soft and awesome underneath.


*edit* under those clouds is vancouver. I had a pic of a different day, same thing, but skyscrapers were poking up here and there. can't find the pic though....

so far i only have goggles...from 5/6 years ago...LOL

other than that, i gotta pick up everything else. any specific quality brands for the water proof/water resistant things?

[f00tzilla]

anyone try lib-tech boards... the banana tech intrigues me

[v1nce]

i've got a '09 banana. It's my first board and I learned on it.. super fun and fast, good on icy days too.

[GT4RC]

anything from lib ending in btx has banana tech, mine has it, I love it :)

[saucywoman]

do to the amount of snow received, combined with snow making efforts, Sun Peaks is moving their opening day from Nov 21st up to the 14th :)

[incubus]

nice

i need to get my board tuned or sharpend anyone wanna help me out :)

[G]

Heads up to everyone, there's some store called boardwalk or something that is having a sale this weekend i think? anyways, I heard it on the radio and they said they are the #1 ski and snowboarding store in Vancouver.. SOUNDS INTERESTING...

What im using:
- Burton snowboarding pants.. GOOD FOR NO WET ASS
- Burton bindings
- Burton boots.. the kind with no strings or whatever... u just pull 2 strings on each boot and it tightens... but I must admit, they arn't the greatest because when it gets iced up it may seem like they are about to break
-Division23 board.. (yea im cheap)
-Northface gloves ... these are the fucking best, they keep your hands so warm.. plus they are waterproof.. and they have a goggle wiper on the index finger.. and a little pocket for a card or key or something.
-Bolle goggles.... got as a gift...the only thing i like about it is the metallic reflection.. other than that...it gets fogged up easily..

Oh yea, since I am kinda a noob boarder I seem to have troubles turning on blue/black runs... I can turn (back facing mountain ) side.. but when i go from back facing to front facing (the mountain) I either abruptly slow down a lot or I catch lots of snow on my board and fall onto my back.... any help??

[TheSalesman11]

Does anyone know when the comor sale is? I want to get last year Burton Custom X and some new bindings as well. cracked my board last year and its coming apart.
Anybody else got the $259 pass for cypress? People on craigslist have WTB ads up for those for about $450+. Shoulda bought a bunch of them.

[Vangruver]

The store's called " The Boardroom" and it's a really decent store in vancouver. They have some of the BEST selection of NON burton products in the city.

As for your skills? Just an educated guess that you are afraid to gain speed when turning from heel to toe edge when on a steeper run. It's completely understandable and can be avoided.

If you are on a steeper run go at a pace you feel comfortable with, then learn to use your knees as shock absorbers for those runs that are steeper and bumpier. When you use your knees you will find that you can push into the toe edge more so and "skid" the board instead of trying to carve into it. Skidding the board will slow you down so that you can control your speed more and gauge yourself into the next turn.

While it's easier to explain it's hard to practice without snow.

I think come winter time/snow sliding season, I will try my best to assist those needing basic skills when it comes to having fun without the frustration.

[G]

^haha, that sounds really accurate... since I don't wear my glasses when I board I am almost half blind since I just see blurry objects that I assume are certain objects...Which is why im really cautious because I cant really see the bumps or patches of snow on the ground since all i see is blurry white... But I will try your advice.. ive had other friends tell me that as well, but thanks for the advice Vangruver!

[KingCrimson]

so excited...

SNOWING ON LOCALS!!!!!!!

[will068]

I'll be buying a helmet this season for the first time. Question for the helmet users:

Is it better to have a beanie concurrently with a helmet ? Aren't helmets designed to be worn without a beanie ? Please advise.

[saucywoman]

I wear a toque under my helmet when I need the extra warmth but I have a gyro one (I think) and I don't need it all that often, more so when it's windy.

[woob]

Of the three major pieces of equipment (board, boots, bindings), what you don't wanna skimp on is boots. If your feet aren't happy, you won't be happy. Try on as many as possible to find the perfect fit (while making sure the boot is durable/has the tech you want).



on that note... I need new boots.

[TOS'd]

Do most of you guys ride with helmets or just toques?

[incubus]

yeah i just rock a touque or hat

[Vangruver]

helmet in the park and the back country, beanie everywhere else

agreed, but remember when you try on boots, try them on when your feet are at it`s hottest

that way you know they are as swollen as they could be, to ensure that they will fit the best.

supportive boots for a new rider ARE YOUR FRIENDS

[beetea]

any advice on a wide set of boots ? i have a feeling my K2 boots from sportchek aren't the best for my wide foot.

[Alatar]

Tuque when I'm just cruising down the slopes. If I'm planning on tree runs, I have my helmet on.

I still need to swap my new bindings onto my board. Looking forward to seeing how they are, compared to my old ones.

I've got a y2play pass this year, so you'll likely see me up at Grouse multiple evenings after I'm off work, and definitely on weekends.

Next year I'll invest in new boots/board to go with the bindings. Going to be interesting, testing out the toe-straps this year, as I'm very used to strapping over my boot. At least my bindings give me the option of either/or.

[simsimi1004]

where do i buy new gear,
westbeach?

how much shuld i spend for board,binding,boots
i don't use rails and boxes, just ramps and the sides of the mountains. looking for something thats responsive.

[00EM1]

What size board is everyone riding? height ? riding style?

I'm 6 foot riding a 153 and its time for a new board this season thinking of getting a longer board probably a 157.

mostly back woods riding I try to find as much fresh powder as I can. Stick mostly to blue and black runs the rest of the time.
I'm a little hesitant about going longer though because I want to start riding some park this year.

[StealthFighter]

is it ok to wear a skateboarding helmet with a toque under as a snowboarding helmet?

[triplexcel]

i'm 6'2 riding a 157 i think. i just started riding in the woods and it boosted my ability to control my board. i like freeriding but i still try to hit up the terrain park to work on some basic tricks.

[triplexcel]

is it ok to wear a skateboarding helmet with a toque under as a snowboarding helmet?

sure. but you might want to invest in a full face as you progress in riding. the wind will cut your face! lol

[saucywoman]

Do most of you guys ride with helmets or just toques?

I use to just use a toque because I thought you only needed a helmet if you're doing tricks, tree runs or in the terrain park but then I caught my edge wrong at a pretty good speed and ended up with a bruised tailbone and a concussion. There's nothing I can do to protect my body but at least that will heal a lot better than any head injury.

[yogenfruz]

Do most of you guys ride with helmets or just toques?

I ride with just my toque on. I own a helmet, but never wear it.

To be honest, I highly recommend wearing one, whether you're good at snowboarding, or if you're just starting. I've had some nasty spills in which I had hit my head and ended the day right there.
ie: Going near top speed and catching an edge, slipping off a rail and having my head hit it.

[daggon]

you can actually buy shorts that have some padding on them to protect ur tail bone, also there's different kinds of armour thats similar for your upper body. I saw some at the snowshow for about $50. If i had more money i woulda got it so i dont get bruised when i try those rails

[Vangruver]

sure. but you might want to invest in a full face as you progress in riding. the wind will cut your face! lol

A full face isn't necessary since it might hamper your peripheral vision. Really the only people that use full face are snowX racers

A skateboard helmet is essentially a snowboard helmet since it doesn't have the winter foamie stuff or the ear covers. A snowboard helmet has less vents, if not closing vents to prevent head chill.

There are many helmet liners and helmet beanies that you can buy to cover your head if you need more warmth.

As for body protection? Look at Dainese, Alpinestars, Crashpadz, and any bicycle shop as they usually sell body protection that won't hamper your movement. Bear in mind that you do have to consider your outerware since it may not fit over what you are wearing. Unless you like it ghetto gangsta ;)

thanks for that :) I'm not too worried about injuring my body cause that will heal and the only thing that wouldn't was if I became paralyzed and there's nothing that will prevent that, although I pray to god it doesn't happen lol

Hit up Big White everyone. It was the best experience for me. The runs on the mountain were sooo long. Way better then cypress.

[saveth]

I go to big white every year for a couple of nights. Do you rent a place in the village or stay in the city?

[00EM1]

im off to big white for opening day, we booked early so for 3 of us it was under a grand for a place that we can board to in the village and passes for 4 nights and 5 days.

that give the best vision?? too many choices makes it confusing
thanks

[incubus]

ohh sweet thnx man

[Vangruver]

most all modern goggleys will have a wide peripheral for you.

but what you need to focus on is the fitment on your bridge.

some goggleys won't fit on a small bridge and some do.

Can't suggest a frame till you go and try some on.

[jdmhaze]

goggles can get very expensive....whats your price range?

You wiped off all the anti fogging coating. When you get moisture inside yu are suppose to dab the moisture. The heat from your face will dry the rest of the moisture. Anti fog spray works also or if you cheap just spit in it.

o ok hmm maybe then i dont really need a new goggle haha
and 1 more question
my binding is the toe binding type but it sometimes slip up to like a foot strap
why is that??

anyone wanna explain the edge card to me thnx

FML.. i wanted to go today but it had to close and wtf is up with the nasty windstorm we get at night, its preventing us from going riding. even baker is closed!

yea id love to hit up cypress on the weekend but id prefer the snow to be atleast 200cm or more

i got a old firefly snowboard and binding thats in great condition i can sell for $60.

dont use it anymore, so trying to sell it , cheaper than renting haha

[jackmeister]

i've been away from snowboarding for about 3 years now so im just as noob as a beginner.

but anyways i've left my snowboard in my garage for 3 full years without doing any type of treatment/wax/tuning... where would be a good place to get it done? the board i have was given to me but the bindings (technine) are shit, they keep coming loose. what type of bindings would be good for it?? and where would be a good place to pick up a helmet?

planning to hit up cypress and possibly whistler this season!! olympic upgrades!!

thanks

[bcedhk]

boardroom has good prices on old / last years gear.

with waxing, try sportchek/or any snowboard shop, it should run you 25-35 dollars

[LemonH2O]

apparently cypress is open weds?

They're opened till 4pm today. Snow report says it snowed 10cm in the last 24 hrs and it is minus 2 up there right now. :bigthumb:

BTW, I don't know if anyone has mentioned, Cypress has SkiCards available at certain Bell stores for $55 after taxes. That actually gets you 1 free lift ticket, and 20%+ off every time you buy a lift ticket the rest of the season. (On average, $9 off every time you go, day or night passes)

Whistler is where it's at though, been snowing solid the last couple of days, 27cm in the last 24 hrs and also snowing heavy starting this afternoon. It's minus 8 in the alphine currently. :woot:

for some reason the goggles i got now keep fogging up?? why does that happen
they are oakleys but not sure what model cuz i got them as a gift
but they seem to fit but fog up??

do you ever put them on your head?

if you do, water gets in them and they fog.

I never take off my goggles while riding. Always leave them on my face and every single pair of my like 8 goggles don't fog.

Or you're just not going fast enough.
