Where do you ride, and what boards do you see the most there? If you don't ride at any one resort, just say what boards you see a lot. I'll start, I ride at Squaw and I see a bunch of GNU Carbon Credits, Skate Bananas, and of course every type of Custom ever created.
Mostly no name boards or cheap boards from Technine, Atomic, Contract, Salomom, Elan, Westige, Lamar, Rossignol, Airtracks, etc. Have no idea about models and years, but definately not many of them are from 2012. There are some Burton, Nitro, Capita Horoscope, K2 WWW, Flow Verve, GNU Carbon Credit & Street Series, Ride DH2, Bataleon Disaster also.
In my 20+ days in Eagle and Summit counties, I was surprised at the number of Skate Bananas and Burton Customs. Saw several Protos but expected to see more Never Summers.
Most of us who live here in CO (and ride more than a handful of days a season) avoid Summit/Eagle resorts like the plague.
At Loveland, you'll see a ton of NS. Lots of Lib Tech, Ride, etc. too. There will usually be several Capita Charlie Slashers out and about on pow days too.
Same list except the Horrorscopes. Maybe because I really don't know what those look like.
At squaw valley I was waiting for my wife outside starbucks and two dudes walked up, with the exact same board (skate banana) same color and everything. Hell could have been the same size. Both walked up, looked around to see if anyone was checking their steez out, and locked up the boards.
Man if I had the same board as my boy I'm not standing next to him. Not that it's gay or anything but it's pretty fucking stupid looking
Any big brand. Its all about showing off here I guess. I saw so many arbors this year but im sure its like cars when you get a new one you start to see it every where. T rices, arbors, bataleons and tech nine are the most popular around here.
Saw too many salomons at Squaw this year...mainly rentals...drift rockers...shit board...also a lot of man's board kicking around. Also K2s (turbo dreams and rayguns) and Burton customs everywhere. Last weekend though I was encouraged to see 3 different dudes on separate lifts with Jones mountain twin (sweet looking board).
in north carolina i see lots of rome, capita, customs, and dinosaurs boards...with some NS and gnu/lib mixed in there too. decent amount of rides stuff as well...but when i was at keystone this year saw TONS of NS, liked seeing it well repped in its home town
At Stevens Pass in WA I see lot of ride crushs, skate bananas. Never really looked for burton customs but im sure there are plenty of them too
