its been 90 degrees the last few days and all i've been able to think about is snowboarding lol im starting to get so pumped. get wait to be on the slopes every weekend. who else snowboards, lets see your setup. anyone else go to blue mountain in PA? im up there all the time.

me and a bunch of friends went on a trip to vermont last year and hit up killington and okemo a few times. okemo was better i think, the stash at killington was pretty cool though. anyone else board there?

this year were not decided on where we're gonna go this year, but really looking at sugarloaf, Maine. looks like a real fun place, and we wanna go a little farther this year. we were also looking at some places in eastern canada but im trying to talk them out of that, everyone i go with is mostly 19 and 20 and i won't be 18 yet when we go so it will probably suck lol. any other good places in north eastern US?? or canada?

and next year we wanna go on one big trip before everyone gets married and buys houses and stuff, were thinking about out west, maybe colorado, maybe western canada, maybe even europe somewhere. any good slopes?

A lot of people up this way like Jay Peak (10 mins from my house) and Smugglers Notch/Stowe. Both a fair amount further north than Killington.

Definately go to Smugglers Notch or Stowe Vt. My grandparents have a house about 20 minutes from them. I will be up there alot.

Maybe I will see some of you guys there.

And it's cool because Stowe, Smuggs and Jay Peak are all in the same area so you can try them all out.

I've told Dan @BPG several times he should have a winter sports thing at the park during the off season. It wouldnt take much and you could shred there

I can see the downhill getting real interesting on ice ...lol

If your going North it has to be Canada, if your staying in the U.S. go West :) it wont let you down. Rather than live in the cold I enjoy my nice warm weather year round and take a trip to Colorado for a week each year to snowboard haha

yea dude the stash can be nasty. fun park to ride put all those wood rails get scary. and yea i know which wall ride you're talking about, thats fun as hell on a snowboard.

sorry i know very little about downhill mtn biking except it looks like fun.... do they take you to the top on the ski lifts? or how do you get to the top?
