Hit Heavenly yesterday, it was bluebird and about 40 degrees. No new snow but you gotta love skiing in Cali warm sun.šŸ™‚ Going to Sierra today, Squaw tomorrow and Kirkwood Sunday. ---

So I finally got to Squaw on Sunday and skied with my cousin Allen Riley. He is super nice and humble but, boy was that humbling watching someone ski ANY terrain flawlessly.lol He also gave us some invaluable tips on skiing the expert terrain. He was patient enough to take us on a tour of the entire resort pointing out everything from the Shane McConkey tribute eagle statue on the peak to the best places to Apres. šŸ™‚ It was neat to talk to and see people who I have only seen in ski movies, like Rachel Burks and Aaron McGovern. Coming back to WNY was disappointing because we did not see even ONE cloud the entire time in Cali and Nevada and it was 30 degrees warmer and they had well over 250" of snow already. Sitting on the beach patio of the Hyatt Resort in Tahoe, drinking Napa wine, getting sun burned after an epic day of skiing spoils a guy. šŸ˜ƒ ---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ---------- Edit: list of places skied after that trip. šŸ™‚ Heavenly Sierra At Tahoe Aspen (all 4 resorts/mountains) Vail Breckenridge Telluride Jackson Hole Snow King Solitude Alta Deer Valley Park City Snowbird Squaw Valley Northstar Big Sky Moonlight Basin Whistler (heli-ski too) Blackcomb Killington Pico Stowe ---

Going to Holimont for a vendor sponsored ski day on Friday. Havenā€™t been on boards for probably 10 years. This should be fun. ---

This is going to be my first time hitting up a VT mountain so iā€™m wicked excited for the trip. Anyone have any recommendations for trails or must doā€™s out there? Definitely take the Gondola up and take The Great Northern and I believe its also the Great Eastern. I believe the Eastern goes all the way down to the very bottom (10 minute haul trying to move around as quick as you can) Those are both runs like Mardi Gras, but take you 5x longer. Iā€™d really just say anything out there is a blast compared to here in Buffalo. Iā€™m going Feb 5th and 6th ---

Nice thanks for the info I canā€™t wait. Iā€™ve been looking over the trail map for Killington and it just confuses the hell out of me how iā€™m going to get around LOL. We are staying at the Killington Grand right at the base of mountain so it should be a blast, I plan on taking tons of pics and have the GoProā€™s ready to go šŸ™‚ ---

Iā€™d take it to 245 Board Company up in that part if you donā€™t do it yourself. Maybe Redhook, but Iā€™m not sure whoā€™s doing their tuneups now (it was Tom, but Iā€™m not sure if heā€™s still working there) I tune my own stuff; $40 for the Dakine kit, and it works great. Iā€™ve never gotten the edges sharpened ā€œprofessionallyā€ yet, and I got my board in '09. Took it to ā€œTHEā€ snowboard shop out here in UT, and they said I didnā€™t need anything more than a wax, the board base and edges were in good shape and sharp. ---

I was considering 245 but itā€™s a bit of a hike. Was thinking phatman but feel they may do a hack job ---
