Most common boards at your resort - Page 2 - Snowboarding Forum

poutanen · 04-20-2012, 08:54 AM

I've seen a lot of everything at my resorts. Probably helps that it's a bit of a tourist destination so you get people from everywhere...

Last weekend I was getting my gear on and the car next to me everybody was riding Kessler and Oxess BX boards. I had to go over and have a chat!

I've seen a few T6's this year, lots of customs, t.rice boards, and everything in between. K2's salomons, lots of burtons.

Don't really have a "home mountain" but definitely Skate Bananas, T. Rices, Horrorscopes and every kind of Burton imaginable.

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

Of course a lot of Burtons. The majority or rentals. After that I will have to say Skate Bananas and then GNU

various kinds of k2 seem to be the most popular, attack bananas are really popular as well.

So why all the bananas at your home places?...Here they were big 2-3 years ago but now very few...most have moved on to hybrids.

From the limited amount that I got out this year, I noticed mostly Burtons with some Mervin mixed in. Saw very few NS boards.

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).
