Mostly self-filmed spots from last winter that were a mix of fun and scary. Thanks to Fern for hiking a mile out into the woods with me for the last log.

I can’t wait to find more spots that I have no business hitting at my advanced age this coming winter. #splittothespot #logmasters #yobeat

travel advice fellow boarders who live in the southeast US - where do you ride that's worth the trip?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys!

Was living in the PNW the past few years but recently moved back to TN. I grew up here but didn't get into snowboarding until I moved out west. Now that I'm back, I'm not familiar with where to go that'd be worth the trip. I've heard of snowshoe and timberline in WV but that's honestly pretty much it.

My south easterners, where do you guys go? More northeast? Take trips out west? I'm a nurse so I get a decent amount of 4-7 day stretches off. Tell me how you guys spend your seasons!

travel advice Snowboarding trip with my dad who skis

Upvotes

Hey y'all, I was thinking of booking a trip for January/february with my dad. Last year we went to Snowbird, and that was too difficult for him. So I'm in need of a good rec that das some variable terrain, but plenty of good blues. I went to Copper last year as well, and I thought that was good, but idk how good it would be in jan/feb. So any ideas? I was thinking about Grand Targhee but really open to anything.

Hey all, I have a ski trip planned to Big Sky Montana from December 30th - January 3rd. Planning on skiing 3 days starting on New Year’s Eve. How is Big Sky around this time for anyone who has been? Are the lines crazy or will we be fine once the day gets going a bit? Thanks!

Gear question Fast Entry with Duck Footed Stance

Upvotes

I've heard anecdotally that extreme stances have trouble with fast entry - both FASE and StepOn. I typically ride +21/-21 and 20 inches between the bindings but I'd like to try both StepOn and FASE. Is there anyone with more pronounced duck footed and slightly wide stances who can share experience with StepOn and FASE?

travel advice Crested Butte vs Wolf Creek

Upvotes

I have the ability to spend this winter in Pagosa Springs, CO or Crested Butte, Co and with the long range forecast, I'm feeling pretty stoked.

Pagosa will probably get better snow because it's a magical snow god vortex up there, but CB offers more community because I have two friends in CB.

I'll be fresh out of a divorce, so I'm leaning towards CB because of my friends. One of them is an old riding buddy and would be good to have somebody who's been there for a few years to show me around/introduce me to people. I don't plan on doing much besides snowboarding, work (remote), working out, and the occasional night out. CB has the free shuttle up to the mountain taboot where in Pagosa I would be driving a lot more.

Any insight or thoughts here?

My son and I are planning to go to Banff this winter. He is just coming off the beginner/bunny slopes, he has done a few regular green runs. I’m wondering if one of these would be better than the other for someone at his level.

Gear question Working a season - glove replacements

1 Upvotes

I'm going to be working 5 months in the Alps and my current gloves are 10 years old, in great need of replacing. I want mittens and I've seen a number of suggested brands (Hestra, Crab Grab, Burton, Dakine etc) but I'd like to hear your thoughts/experience of brands. Budget up to £100ish

Thankyou!

travel advice I'm in a dilemma about which pass I should get.. Help please

3 Upvotes

I live in Denver. My uncle lives in Steamboat. My best friend (who is the person I ski with 90% of the time I go with people) is going Keystone Plus, but he's having a kid here soon so I don't even know how much he'll be able to go.

I personally love the Ikon mountains. Copper is incredible, ABasin is great on a weekday, Eldora is nice to have when I'm not feeling i70 traffic and just want to hit their little park. Winter Park is an awesome vibe. And I can plan around huge storms to go up to Steamboat since they have an open guest room. Might even be able to scoot over to Aspen for a weekend.

I'm trying to save as much money as I can this year so I'm not gonna drop anything on out of state or country trips. If I went Ikon I feel like I'd do the full Ikon pass so I'd have unlimited at Steamboat.

I love snowboarding but it's not as fun going solo.

If you were me, what would you do?

If Ikon, anybody want a new snowboarding buddy?

Gear question Directional board for learning switch?

0 Upvotes

I’ve only been snowboarding for a couple of seasons and a max of 7 days in one season. I absolutely love it and plan to move somewhere where I can go much more frequently. I ride a capita doa currently and like it for ripping down groomed runs which is all I do right now. I feel like I’m progressing pretty fast and really want to be comfortable riding switch but it’s hard to commit to a day of riding switch when all I have to do is flip around and I’m way more comfortable. I feel like trading my doa for a directional board and setting up my bindings for switch before a trip would help me learn and get comfortable so much faster and was curious if this is something people do or would recommend?
