Skiing and Snowboarding

Despite the Town of Frisco removing station slaps, this one is still hiding.

 

Sweet

 

NS Proto FR 161x. Copper is open until mid May, so we still got time.

 

Nice
I’m going to squeeze one more season out of my ‘95 K2 Eldorado before I retire it. Thinking of dropping from a 169 to a 161…

 

Not sure what your proclivities are for riding switch/park (I don’t really anymore) but 161 with some width to it (and a directional tapered free ride style like that Never Summer that @sbxx312 posted) is a lot of fun when there’s more than 4-5” of the fluffy stuff.

 

Never been a park rider - the 169 is made for bombing groomers and surfing deep stuff. High speeds and long curves are my favorite.

 

I wouldn’t go smaller than 65. That K2 was such a hot deck in 95’. Love to see one at the hill once in a while

 

There’s a couple runs I really like here that get a little tight and technical and that’s what has me thinking a ~161 but I will need to do some demo tests to really decide.
May end up not retiring the Eldo either…it’s what I’ve known for so long. And it’s dead stable at 45-50mph…

 

I'm 6'0 with a 12 boot, so 161x has been the perfect size for me. I've been riding a 161x NS West for the last seven or eight years.

I still have my first real board - a 164x Gnu with Switch bindings. It's crazy how heavy that setup was.

 

They don't make it anymore sadly, but this is my 160 Roz: It's got plenty of float when its up to your thighs and I'm 195lbs, 11 boot.

 

Two weeks left. Suns finally out in NW Wyoming

 

Looks great. Need to get out a few more times.

 

The snow looks pretty packed now. Any powder left?

 

Booked a hotel in Vermont this weekend, Hopefully driving up Friday and getting 2 days at sugarbush to end my season. Blue Mountain, PA (my closest mountain) was seeing some high temps last week and 70 degrees and rain tomorrow so safe to say it's season ending there.

Aiming to hit Colorado and/or Switzerland next year (Big Sky, MT still my favorite mountain I've been to)

 

Nope. Spring mashed potatoes

 

Some fog and rain spring mush- but that’s what GoreTex is for, right? A little thin in spots, but the free stone grinds were easily avoidable.
oh and there were maybe 8 of us skiing (including patrollers).
McCauley Mountain, Old Forge, NY.

 

Rain and high temps killing the northeast, cancelled Vermont and booked a flight to Bozeman, MT Sunday.

 

Yup. Holding out hope for Stratton VT to make it through this weekend

 

Still really good here in JH. No one there mid week

 

yeah was just there march 10-14th. No rush to go back haha. But mid week is always the move. It’s the best out here on east coast as my local mountain stays open until 9 pm so can easily shoot up after work too.
