Good lord. Stoked for some snow. Socal really really needs it. Haven't ridden on real snow since December.

jdang, it's probably cos you've never been there on a powder day. My guess from that video is that they are riding in the tree runs just off Chair 5 and 6. It's nice when there's snow. The park stuff looks like The Wedge.

the last time I had a "powder" day at High I went thru thru the trees and fucked up my board pretty bad. I should have known better!



Is that video recent? damn they got dumped on. Here's hoping High is open til April!

Nice video. I think I hit that same stash (1st one) in the trees today, along with a bunch of others. Conditions were absolutely amazing out there! Wish I didn't have to drive back to LA, but my friends who I went with have jobs to be at in the morning. I think we hit every run at least once. Contemplating heading up in the morning if I get the drive to put my car thru hell.

I was at High today. It wasnt as good as I had hoped, but it was nice to be able to ride some of the trails that are always closed off. They were nice and powdery since most people avoided them. By about 1pm it was getting slushy though. Tomorrow is probably the last day to get in some socal goodness until we get some more snow.

I might be able to go to BB/SS on thursday. I'd prefer to go to High unless anyone knows of some deals to be had on lift tickets. I just spent 10 days at mammoth I'm not paying 60 bux to ride BB. I'm buying a pass to high for next year so I might as well head there anyway.


Starting April I have Tue-Wed-Thur off work so if anyone wants to hit up Mt High on a weekday just say so :)

Happy Birthday! Still going to mammoth for easter? I am and would love to carpool with someone. Anyone!


I am now working all week. I was in Mammoth yesterday and my office called and asked me to work on Tuesday. I said I would only come back for a full (tue-fri) week of work. I was hoping they'd call my bluff and I'd still be there. Today is gonna be rad up there.... But no, they offered me work for the week so now it's no snowboarding for me.


I just bought a new board and renewed my season pass to mammoth..yeah, I need the work :laugh:

oh and yeah, I bought from P3. Those dudes are awesome in there. I brought the Envi back from my Demo Day and I said "Im keeping it. You can just keep my old board"

I had checked out the price of the Envi on various websites but I didn't even ask for a deal at P3. I just said give me the board please! And you know what? They only charged me 10 dollars more then the cheapest online price. Yeah, with sales tax it ended up being maybe 20 bux more thenb buying online but it was SO WORTH IT!!!

P3 is filled with awesome dudes.

2 people quit? Where do I send my resume :D ? I found the same thing to be true with the P3 guys, super friendly, knowledgeable, and good prices. Plus the perks of buying a board there is unbeatable. Any pink on that board? :laugh:

I'm down with carpooling up for Easter. May have some extra gear from my buddies who are flying up, but its not much.

We're real busy for a few weeks and then it's dead again. They are trying to keep us all working as much as possible so we can hoard funds for the summer. But I will keep you posted...and one of the dudes who quit actually has been coming back here and there as his new gig isn't promised full time either.


That was the problem was he was only partially available for this project so he started and now I have to finish.

Let's carpool for easter! We can take my car if we have to, I have more room but it's a V6 so not so great on the gas mileage.


You wanna go up to mammoth this weekend :D I want to go back but only if I can carpool. I'm also waiting to hear from blizzzzz so still a maybe for the weekend.



oh...yeah, the base is magenta....I'm trying to get over it :(

I just looked at the mtn high website--they are closing April 8th. This saddens my already dark heart.


Would anyone like to make one last visit for the year? I am not working Tue or Wed next week. Well, I might have to work Wed.


So anyone else up for a tuesday at mtn high? Im going to pick up my pass for next season and say good bye for now :(

Any condition updates? not sure I want to take my new board out there but Im lazy, I don't want to move the bindings back to my old board :rolleyes:
