Ok, as we all know winter is coming, regardless of whether you want it to or not. Friday will be 8 weeks from Opening Day at HV this year. Who’s starting to fiend? I know I am. What gear is everyone rocking this year? I’m riding the same as last except for new gloves/helmet. ---

I am excited, but am in Rome until February 3rd. I am going within a few days of getting back, same gear for me, unless I find a sweet deal in the meantime… I want to get longer skis and a new jacket. ---

There’s a kid who used to be on here that teaches at HV; he’s really good for beginners. I know he mentioned doing some “off the books” teaching this year. He taught my GF last year and did an awesome job with her (Good enough that even though she was sore and couldn’t move, she desperately wants to go again this year). I can give you his contact info, as I don’t believe he’s an active member here anymore. I know I’ve got about 6 people lined up for lessons with him this season already. I’m doing multiple SLC trips again, and probably a Breckenridge trip as well. Next season (2011/2012) I’ve already got a Whister trip in the works. ---

I have a season night pass for HV and will be down to go anytime so long as the other person isn’t slow. ---

I forgot about snowboarding. Last year was the first time I didn’t go at all in over a decade. Don’t work at a shop anymore so I no longer get the hookup on passes. Damn. And this year I get to make my own schedule ---

I have used gear, but I missed out last year… I may want to keep it so that I can get back out there. I think that you are about my height Dan, you can borrow all of my stuff if you want so that you can see if you like doing it. It will be better than trying to learn on rental equipment. Maybe I will then decide to buy new stuff and give you my old! [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2010-2011-ski-snowboard-thread/160932.md?page=2)
