Not a big group at all lol. yeah that was like 2 years ago lol. i might have been still skiing. the previous times i went with newman i don’t think i knew you yet… the only time i can go to HV tho is if i leave work early which i don’t really like to do, and it’s too expensive to go on the weekend, especially since i have a pass for kb. kb isn’t super sweet, but i just want somewhere to ride ---

Any instructors want a few bucks or split a bogo/Thurs nite special for a refresher? I’ve got 4-5 days on the snow since I was a ski instructor at KB in high school, that’s almost 15yrs ago… I have lousy upper body habits. ---

I’ve got 4-5 days on the snow since I was a ski instructor at KB in high school, that’s almost 15yrs ago… I have lousy upper body habits. I can see what I can work out for you to make the day happen. I teach at Holiday Valley. Just keep me posted when you are free if you are interested. I’ll post here when it becomes good enough conditions for learning. Edit: If you are wondering how I teach, you can talk with 97Formulaws-6. ---

LMAO! Just picked up my board from the shop for a tune up. Asked about a replacement/new board, what would be comparable, etc to my Dark Series… they’re response “Another Dark Series”. They guy did show me another board that I may pick up, another Lib Tech. But his comment that got me dying… “Yea this is a little softer than the Dark Series, but it will still give you the response but be a little bit more forgiving. The Dark Series you really don’t want to ride with a hangover, it’ll just twitch, grab, and fuck you up!” LOL. This is even better hearing this out here in UT, where alcohol is a sin; although it was at a board shop. ---

Note - Another 6-14" of base snow (heavy wet, like you east-coasters always get) out here in UT… hopefully this keeps up as this might end up being a decent year _knocks on wood_. Roughly 1/2-3/4 of the resorts are open here in the SLC area; although limited terrain/lifts. ---

Well, 90/10 that tomorrow will be my first day out this season. I’ll be sure to post pictures to torture Yamba6! Truck has the Box on the roof, Board is loaded; bag of equipment is ready; and the rain has started here in the valley (which means snow at the resorts); latest forecast says 6-12" tonight. ---

Ive only been to Tahoe out west for comparison. All I know is you should plan the trip. Jackson Hole from my understanding is one of the greatest places to go to in the US for skiing/snowboarding. Just make sure to get a pair of goggles :slap: ---

I have been to Jackson 3 times if that tells you anything. I have been to many places out west but Jackson is my favorite because of the level of terrain. I have never been to Jackson that early in the season though so I am not sure what you are in for. I do get the report everyday and they have gotten more than 6 feet already which may seem like a lot but… Jackson has a lot of expert skiing which is tough enough with tons of snow, once it is skied-out and sun baked it gets brutal because it is not groomed. You can usually find good stashes but getting to them can be exhausting. 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2012-2013-ski-snowboard-thread/226284.md?page=4) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2012-2013-ski-snowboard-thread/226284.md?page=6)
