My name is Jason. I currently live in Rochester, NY.
I've been boarding for 7 years, although my first year was the only year where I went more than twice. Conditions here in Rochester pretty much suck and it's difficult to find the time and money to drive out to Vermont more than once or twice a season. Next season I'll be looking into more often. My wife is getting serious about it now and we're going to be buying her some gear here in the next few weeks.
Places I have snowboarded:
Oregon: Mt. Bachelor
Colorado: Vail, Beaver Creek, Monarch, Breckenridge, Keystone
New York: Bristol
Vermont: Mt. Snow

Sup y'all. My name is Kevin, I live in Kelowna BC and my home mountain is Big White. 24yr's old blah blah blah. I've been riding for about 11 years now and skied for 4 years before that. Slowly built my knowledge about equipment maintenance over the years enough to get a job as a ski/board techy for a couple Heli-skiing lodges up North. I'll keep out the names of em for now but yes, there are fringe benefits like free riding with the job. Been doin some reading on this forum and I'm likin what I'm reading, some good info on here so I'm lookin forward to learning more. You can never know enough.
Aside from riding, I'm a big 4x4er. Not mud though, more of a rock crawler competition kinda guy. Anyways, that's me. Cheers.  |

You're definitely right about the snow. We didn't get much, but any little bit helps. If we hadn't spent 2.5 hours shopping for gear for my wife last night we would probably head out there tonight. Might have to wait till next week for some night boarding or next weekend. Might even play hookie some day coming up if we get some decent snow. |

Howdy From Cakalaky!
Hey!
[Cakalacky = North Carolina]
I'm a newbie to boarding, living in Raleigh, NC. But, this past winter my wife turned me onto it and I am sick about snowboarding now! Made it to Zermatt, Switzerland this past May, but didn't get on the slopes. sigh. Next trip, for sure!
However, I'm heading to Denver in April '08 for a work conference. Gonna pop over to Vail for a lil mountain top boarding for a couple of days. Yeah, I know - not ideal. But, hey, I'm gonna be in CO already... and just 2 hours from Vail... so let's hit it!
Looking forward to getting serious and more skilled on a deck... but mainly to stop fallin' down! LOL
Cya,
Ian

Well, where to start... Oke, I'm living in one of the flattest countries in the world (The Netherlands) So no mountains to ride  We have some of the largest indoor slopes of the world, but that doesnt come near a real mountain.
Gladly I can escape this country onces in a while for some real snow (Will go to La Plagne,France in 3 weeks).
Have been boarding for a few years now, always have rented my gear until this year. Was tired of mounting my big feet (US size 14) on small boards etc.
2 months ago I bought :
- Ride Decade 162w (not the most populair board on this forum, but I like it)
- Burton Rulers
- Burton Missions |
