-You're so bored of being injured you duct taped your arm to your chest and went snowboarding
-You smile every time you eat pretzels, melons, roast beef or chicken salad
-There is nothing you dread more then explaining what a cab double cork 1260 melon is to your friend who doesn't snowboard
-Whenever it's winter you're always covered in bruises
-You think Alaska actually sounds like a nice place to live
-You know someone from Finland
-Your foot is stained the colour of your snow socks

That's all I can think of right now. Go.

Sorry if there's already a thread like this I searched and couldn't find one

Haha, bang! I NEVER wait in a long lift line with one foot in.. always remove both.

-You're already planning for next season before this season ends.
-Someone asks you, "Are you going snowboarding anywhere this summer?"
-You have enough snowboard related items to start your own second-hand snowboard shop.
-You have an ipod play list that exclusively includes songs from snowboarding videos.


Inky, some of yours also apply to my skateboarding.

Haha, I wish I was gloating, alas, the snow is not here yet. Both NZ islands are having unseasonably warm dry weather so, not much snow. Im not sure that any of the fields are open yet to be honest, I know that Mt Ruapehu's web cams show that its still fairly bare half way up the main run.

A few of the Australian fields have opened up, but its slim pickings still. I've seen post by a few aussies on here that have brought and paid for tickets to NZ to go snow stunting at end of june, but its looking like the resorts will be open.

Still....the downhill MTB will be on...and thick wetsuit surfing or skating...

-You beat college alcoholism purely by the fact it takes away from your "winter" money.
-You're in Shanghai and your first thought is "I wonder where the nearest hill is"
-You actually found a place in Shanghai and are taking the alcohol money to go there
-You don't see "No Friends on Powder Days" as a horrible lack of priorities, but as a golden rule.

- you gain weight in the summer

- you get pissed off every time someone says something like "Man, I wish this snow would go away" or "It's so nice and warm outside"

- your casual winter coat is also your snowboarding jacket

- you own tons of Under Armor, Smart Wool, or similar products

- you have multiple goggles with different color lenses or a couple of goggles and tons of different lenses

- you're driving in a construction zone and have an urge to bonk a construction barrel

- you're car purchase is heavily dependent on how it handles in snowy conditions

- your jackets or snowboard pants still have lift tickets from a years ago on them

- you can give people excellent advice on how to dress warm for the winter

- you know other brands besides Burton

- you laugh when someone says "Burton makes the best gear, but Forum and Special Blend suck ass!" or "K2 boards are good quality, but Ride sucks."

Lol Leo those were some realistic ones... I had to chuckle a little bit..

You know you're a snowboarder when you're willing to try skateboarding again, hoping that it will cross over into your snowboarding progress...


That's why I haven't been around lol.

You know you're a snowboarder when..

- new people you meet ask you what the tan lines on your face are from

- you are walking into the store in a snowy parking lot smiling when everyone else is wincing

- you're the only car on the road in a "bad" snow storm

- you know the orthopedic doc by his first name

- you know SW is not the best snowboarder ever, regardless of what Sal Masekela says

- you talk to the TV when an announcer calls the wrong trick name

- summer starts sounding like bummer

- you hear a new song on the radio and think "SONG TO RIDE TO NEXT WINTER!!!"

- you bite your lip when someone refers to it as "skiboarding"

- you're more excited for a new snowboarding video to come out than a block-buster movie.

Me anyways.

-You still have 2 boards your gear and a longboard ready to go in the back of your car and its the end of June.
-you get pulled over for crossing the yellow line but you were just swaying to the snowboard song that came on your car stereo.
-you start finding random things to sell on craigslist for extra money next season.
-you've been caught strapped in out on your lawn.
-the people you've shredded with most the season don't recognize you in normal clothes.
-you get a life threatening injury... and you choose to continue snowboarding that day anyway.
-you rode 40-100+ days at multiple mountains.. and you only had to pay for one lift ticket.
-you keep a journal and many of the pages read like this..

-When your busting ass trying to plan your wedding in the next 6 months so you can have a snowboard honeymoon in japan.
-When you ditch out on work to go to solstice surf in Huntington Beach and the most fun you have is finding another snowboarder to talk shop with. Sorry, kara, even surfing doesn't scratch the snow itch ("snow itch" as in the metaphor, not the STD)

haha! Are you sure you don't need a second wife? ...or maybe have an eligible friend that would want to plan a honeymoon out in Japan?:laugh:

-when you're out mucking horse stalls.. and off the back shit ramp you can't help but notice how good of a drop in the ramp to shit pile would be once covered in snow.. then you think.. I gotta plan on building a box this summer.
