Snowboarding! - Topic

Hitting up Cypress in Vancouver on Wednesday. I'm pretty syked and I just got new bindings as well.
Going to try to do a few trips to Whistler this season.

I hit Grouse last week, tourists were out of control (3 hour wait for the gondola down, 2 hour wait at the restaurant! Luckily I was alone so I snaked a seat at the bar with no wait!)
Conditions were awesome even after a few days of bluebird and almost no lift lines after like 3pm (cut was a little busier but I only did one park lap before going back to Expo/Peak side)

Here's a bomb from Heavens Sake over to Expo

Whistler is always great, definitely get up there. I went for a weekend when I was 20, didn't leave until I was 22 lol

I'm going up to crotched mountain in NH tomorrow from Boston. Any boarders in the New England region? It'd be cool to board with some fellow jspers. PM me if anybody is willing. Tomorrow is the first run of the season. It hasn't been snowing up here.. but rest assured I'm convinced it's coming.

What's up guys ?
Anyone's been riding burton ruler/highline boa's ? What do you think about those boots ? Which technology do you prefer? classic lacing or boa? What do you think about 'ride' boots?
I've been snowboarding for a while and i find lack of control during basic butters and 180's, got some budget stuff, flux pr bindings and local brand board, pretty good i think. Looking for new boots this season since i've been rocking my current ones for like 5 years lol ;d
What are you up to when it comes to boots ?
Cheers.

Last night's run was awesome. Snow was great for carving. Hit a few boxes.. bust my ass on a jump and banged my head but overall, good run up there. Foggy as hell for some reason.

Great choice in sport.
You also get to wear a mask.
Good day mate.

that looks awsome. I would go wed and sun/mon if I were you. Go all week if you can, looks like it's gonna be powdery all week.
It's fri actually, did you go wed?
I just hate it when it's snowing hard and ur racing down and can't see anything.

I went up a week ago after about 20cm hit the mountain and it was so good.
going to try to go this mon again, I hate going weekends always packed.

I hate Grouse, Cypress a little more expensive but nicer. You should try Mount Seymour, it's pretty nice there. Going up there on Mon.
