I’m sure most of the people on Shift518 do some sort of winter activity. Me and my brother snowboard, and Niskyspy does skiing.
I didn’t get to go last season at all, so this season I’m definatly coming out as many times as possible and looking forward to implimenting the helmet cam equipment I use for riding coverage on the mountain
I will organize a few group days when we all can convoy upto a mountain and go cause some heavoc.
But what those guys ^ do is crazy. How good are you?
not as good as them haha, i can do 3’s was workin on 5’s last year switch zero’s, switch 3’s were legit and lots of rails, this year i practiced inverts on trampolines all summer so im hopin for some rodeo’s and some backflips and shit, some of my friends are crazy good like cork 7’s bii’s rodeo’s they are nasty we should ride
1.8tvdub, Where do you ski? I used to be real into it too but when I got my real job I can’t really afford to be screwing around like that anymore and risk getting hurt. I used to hit up Mount Snow’s super park just about every weekend when I was in college. I got out a couple of times last year. I’m riding on a pair of Line Maverick twin tips, I think their 155mm? I can’t remember it’s been a while since I had them out on the slopes. I’m gonna try getting out again this winter.
You should look into the All East Pass if you haven’t already and are a college student. If you purchase one before October 31st, you get it for $300.00 and that includes sking/snowboarding for Mount Snow, Killington/Pico, Sugarbush, Sunday River, and I think there’s one more that i’m forgetting. But if your an avid skier or boarder at $300.00 for the season it will pay for itself it no time. That also includes you being able to ski/board through the holidays as well. You have to buy it before October 31st though, otherwise the price jumps up like $200.00 or something crazy like that.
Do you play ice hockey? Are you playing in a league anywhere? I haven’t played since i’ve been out of college and with having a steady work schedule now I have some free time where I can play. Let me know!
Skiing is def a great winter sport, but Hockey is where its at. Let me know if you guys can organize a game!!!
Im down, and I could prob get others to come. I need to whoop somebody’s ass in hockey, its been a while…
I could try to go ahead an organize a game, but I don’t even know how to play, I’ll look into times and days avaliable for playing there, and probably just provide photo coverage.
Now if we go to a mountain in a group, im definatly there.
Good luck getting ice time. The only time you can get ice time is in the afternoons on week days. Most people like myself are normally working then. They almost never have open ice time on the weekends between youth hockey going on, Siena college team practicing & games, and Shaker/Colonie practicing & games, and then they have open public skating. The best bet to organize any sort of quick pick up game is wait until the river freezes. There’s a spot in Niskayuna right next to the bike path. It’s a pond, and i’m not sure if it’s local or the actual town that goes out there and plows it, but every year when it’s frozen over it gets plowed. I played on it almost every year with some of my hockey buddies every now and then when we didn’t have practice or games
oh and if there are any free skiers, park skiers or even snowboarders (there are actually quite a few on this site) you should check out www.newschoolers.com its a really sick forum crazy active to
i know its a killer deal but i just order a gore/whiteface pass because my parents have a house 20 min away from Gore, plus i got a pretty big crew of kids who ski and snowboard up there so we have alot of fun, a 155cm ski is a lil small man i ride some 181 Pipe Cleaners from Armada, i got a pair of beat up old 166 pollard pro models if youre interested id givem away for free you just gotta throw some binding on them and youre set we should have some 518 ski/snowboard park sesh’s this winter
