> [@2TurboZ](#): > > I may have to do that. In 4 times out last year I can successfully navigate to the bottom of the hill without falling but I am nowhere near carving like I do on skis down the hill.

Just don’t be one of those cool kids that sits in the middle of the slope. I prefer not having to pull evasive maneuvers when bombing a hill. ---

Move to the side of the hills/mountains when you are on them if you are not going down them. Anyways, I’m in the market for 2 things this season. A new helmet and a set of boots. Not sure what boots to go with and I’ve been looking into the Smith Vantage. ---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ---------- > [@97FormulaWS-6](#): > > Ditto!

JERK!!! lol Not as early as you think, normally the season out here starts within 2-3 weeks of your season out there. Mid November is typically opening days for the resorts that have snow making capabilities. ---

Yeah I jumped the gun and got a fresh hot wax from phatman (they are awesome) and they tuned my edges for our type of winter here , detuned the edges a bit. Bindings are mounted now as well.

Just booked the flight into San Fran and out of Reno for mid December… so pumped. Unfortunately due to my career, if I want to get any substantial riding in it has to be before the new year so this trip is going to be huge for me. Only rode out west once and that was in Tahoe as well. Loved both Squaw and Northstar but was wondering if anybody had any other suggestions for this time around? Definitely going to do Heavenly too.
