Ugh, this thread already. It’s depressing how fast this summer went. Probably because we didn’t have one… I’ll def be on the slopes all over WNY. ---

> [@Resurrected J](#): > > how u like the silencers? I’m rockin some Volkl Legends that are getting up there in age and most likely will be upgrading soon. I like them…they’re pretty solid all around. My only complaint is they’re a little skittish at higher speeds, but they carve just fine. They also floated really well in the powder when I had them out in Tahoe. I’m still learning how to properly ride switch, but they’re also pretty good in the transition from regular to switch so far. We’ll see as I get better. ---

> [@97FormulaWS-6](#): > > Hmm… ok, anyone have recomendations on Gloves? I need a new set this year. My Dakines worked great for about 2 seasons but are now in pretty rough shape. > > Looking for something with a removeable liner though; gonna be making a few trips out west to Utah and Colorado, plus some Vermont trips so I want them to be able to be “adjustable” for normal cold, or super fucking cold. Glove-wise, I’ve had two pairs that I’ve sworn by. One pair was a pair of Scott Park Ranger. They stopped making them last year, but they seem to have a pair this year that looks pretty comparable (Scott Bolt). The other glove I used all last season while living up here in VT and skiing Killington regularly was a pair of Burton AK Tech glove. I skied close to 50 days until a severe shoulder injury knocked me out for a while in February. Even during the mega cold snap we got in January with windchills around negative 20 degrees, those gloves kept my hands plenty warm. I prefer minimalist style and have found that a bulkier and more thick glove does not necessarily result in warmer hands. The key I’ve found is in performance layers of poly-pro like Helly Hansen’s base layers, or even EMS makes a few real good base layer shirts. Keep your core warm, and your hands and toes will be good. ---

I’ve had great luck with Helly Hansen polypro but have heard that Icebreaker brand baselayers are the best out there (pricey though as well). Leg-wise I wear fleece pajama pants under my pants, lol. Super warm and breathable. On another note… I have 2 pairs of skis I ski on regularly. For All-Mountain and everyday riding -Line Prophet 100 in 186cm length For Park - Line Invaders in 178cm length ---

74 days left… Still waiting on my Board to come in… grrrr… been 2 weeks since I ordered it… Picked up my Bindings this past weekend from Smaefer; thanks!!! Ride CAD’s, I think they’re the '08 models, but they’re brand new, and they cut me an awesome deal on them. Once I get the board in, just need to figure out what I want to do for stomp-traction; and probably a new helmet… ---

I actually can’t wait. I have been looking at used boards and probably gonna get a ticket and take a class the first few times renting and see if I keep with it. I am in WS so if anyone wants to start car pool, I would be game on the weekends. ---

I’m in Cheektowaga; so I’d be down for some car-pooling for sure. I don’t suggest weekends for your first trip down there; honestly… it’s too busy. They started offering lessons at night; so I’d suggest a Monday or Tuesday evening; the learning hill is pretty dead and you’re going to have a lot more room to learn without having to worry about taking people out. ---

I worked a deal with my Boss for Monday’s… he’s cool with me bailing outta here at 3:30-4 as long as I have everything caught up and nothing pressing… so most Monday’s I’m going to be leaving my house by 4:30. You should see if you can bounce early one Monday once the season gets going and the hills are in decent shape. ---

holiday valley is always listed in the top 10 every year, its not the size of the runs as much as it is the community, the layout, the lodges, the things to do, the difference in runs they have throughout the whole place. cant wait to get this show on the road though! summers done, just drop the snow already! lol [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-holiday-valley-2009-2010/72925.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-holiday-valley-2009-2010/72925.md?page=3)
