Snowboarding is pretty easy to pick up, just be ready to fall down a lot. Remember, It's hard to beat someone who doesn't give up.

I use a remote winch with bunji cord to get back up the remote area where I snowboard.

I live in CO, I've ridden quite a few mountains here and yes, Vail is probably as great as they make it out to be. I'm going to school near Crested Butte and ride there around 3 times a week during peak season. Crested Butte Definitely takes the cake for most difficult/best extreme terrain in the state, I mean, it kicks the shit out of most the resorts I've been to.

Anyway, I'm riding a ride DH and I just picked up some Burton Cartels at a sale this summer, so i'm anxious to start riding again. I've got Burton Ruler boots and Oakley crowbar goggles.

Nice, lucky bastard. I ride an 07 Custom X over here on the ice coast, freestyle bindings and moto boots [angles:15/-12]. Yeah, I don't like that I have an all burton set up either, but I get to ride big mountains very much [this winter should be good]. I went to HCSC session six last summer, my rents wanted me to go to a nature camp but last session was cheaper. I had to pay airfare, but it was totally worth it. Got good at basic airs in the superpipe, and learned fronflips and bs 3s. I've been riding for a decade now but my friends are afraid of park so I ended up getting super good at bombing hills and controlling my board, but a sparse bag of tricks, but this winter I'll be riding with some different kids who have my opinion of park.

And I just learned fs airs in the miniramp at my local park a few days ago, skating just got a lot better.

2006 Rome Agent
2006 Burton Cartels

I'm going to get a new Agent this season cause my old one is scratched to shit. I also have a wide ass pair of Armada skis I use for powder days.

Anyone ski VT?
