Fairfax Va. Gonna get up at 6 and make the haul up so I can be first on the hopefully fresh snow. If you're looking for a bro to board with, I'll be in a crazy ass pixelated DC jacket.

I just got back from New York where me and my Fiancee (who goes to law school up there) hit Toggenburg mountain and had our first East Coast powder experience. Six inches of powder fell on Toggenburg over night and we were first on the slopes the next morning.

Was simply amazing.

Sigh, pretty much. Also, I personally don't care if they "groom" @ WT because that place NEVER had the real kinda groomed snow I saw @ Belleayre NY. Their snow was super compacted and sorta smoothed out, plus it was much much colder than we ever get here. Fun mountain up there, but way too skier/family-oriented.

First time at WTail today.

Thought it was odd how the double blacks were groomed, but the single blacks were left in that bumpy powder ride. I got there at 8:30 a.m. to be one of the first people up and it was still a bumpy mess, but it was fun.

You were right. Tail kills Liberty.

Had a blast messing around in the smaller park. I'm new to park riding and I'm fine on kickers and have started to try indy grabs and 180s off them, but having a park with smaller rails to learn jibbing was really nice.

Headed to NY in a week for more boarding. Can't wait.

Nice man! Personally can't wait to check Blue Knob. Seemed quite dope, but no idea if its actually worth the extra hour hike.

Also, would everyone mind tossing a few pix in here to help (me) get better acquainted?

I have my red Nomis getup,


And 09 Splatter w/ gray Ride cargos


And always that blue DC sack.

I hung out on the blues alot and a few of the diamonds. Near the end of the day I spent most of my time chilling in the mini park hitting the kickers hard and then working on 50-50s and boardslides.

A few of the trails were just junk because the powder got so ripped up it got sloppy and just wasn't fun. It was like get some speed, start to carve, then hit some huge powder bumps and slow down. Repeat all the way down. Wasn't fluid at all -- but still better than ice pack.

Only reason I asked was because I don't YET feel like getting some crappy iron and doing that whole jazz. Knowing me, I will sooner than later, but yea. My old board, was NEVER ever waxed since I got it and it lived through 2 of my seasons + god knows how many before me just fine.

You can get an iron, scraper, and some wax for about 50 bucks total. Not that much because it's a one time investment, plus you can wax your buddies boards too. Check out the tips section of this form, and there's a sticky of one of the moderator's how to videos for waxing. It really is worth it.
