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

Just wanted to pass it along to anyone who's interested. KROQ & Scion are giving away free tickets to Bear on Friday for the 1st 1,067 people who go to the Resort this Friday. If you drive up in a Scion vehicle they'll give everyone in your car a free ticket & you'll get free VIP parking. If I'm not out of town for work I may try to go, if the weather & conditions are decent enough

ohhh. No, that pic is Mammoth. Bear doesn't have a chair 9. I think they stop at 8 :)


sorry. It's not a pic of so cal. I was just trying to bring some stoke to our rather snowless thread :(

I wouldn't hit that area unless there's another storm. Those pictures are from the day after a small storm that left a little over a foot of new snow. Area was pummled with people and it got into the low 50s later in the day. That picture was from last Friday--I went back on Saturday and it was not fun at all :( big sheet of ice

So we we've at 830am. Take a run down with my buddy who's
New at boarding.
2nd run of the day he falls and get a concussion. He wasn't wearing
A helmet although he did the first time he went with me. I can't force him
Can't remember sentences and barely his name..

Needless to say my day was over at 930am and it was nice out too.

Had to go to the hospital.. So I turned my ticket I..
Then he said I could have finished but the day was already fucked.

Sorry to hear that. Hope your friend is alright!!! What was he doing that he hit his head that hard? I guess the upside is that it happened early enough in the day that you both could have gotten your ticket refunded/rain-checked for another day this season. Next time your friend gets up on the mountain, tell him to wear his helmet! Stories like this make me want to buy a helmet, real bad...

Helmets are a plus in my book too. I've had some hard head shots while wearing mine. Scary to think what could of happened if I wasn't. Although I've still concussed myself once while wearing it earlier this season. Went off a jump a Mammoth (I knew on approach I didn't have the speed but went for it anyway), landed on the knuckle and bounced backwards straight onto the back of my head. I was dazed for a minute or two then rode the rest of the day. The next five days I had headaches. Got a dent in my helmet from it too. Probably going to replace it for next season.


I should get a helmet too....I wacked my head decently at Bear on Tuesday
How's that coming along? Any lingering effects?


On a brighter note... Is anyone going to take advantage of the free lift ticket deal tomorrow from Scion & Bear Mountain? I'm on the fence if I should sneak away for the day when I really shouldn't...
I wish I could get up there for that great deal, but looks like a no for me. Not sure if I'll make it up anywhere before the end of the month- gonna cash in that bday ride free ticket!

I was at mt high two weeks ago, about to go off a jump and some fuckface cut me off and fell on top of the jump. I had to quickly cut out of the way and I hit another jump and the nose of my board hit a rail and sent me flying backward. I hit the back of my head on some hard ass ice. That was a ringer. Then later on I fell on a jump on my own and hit the back of my head again.

I bought a helmet on the way home.

Cal Trans apparently thinks the storm is gonna be big, they're shutting down Angeles Crest Highway. I hate driving to BB when chains are required. I need a awd vehicle :(

ANTONOVICH ANNOUNCES WEATHER-RELATED ROAD CLOSURE – Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich


Sucks for Mt Waterman how are people supposed to ride there if they can't get there. Anyone been there? Ive ridden my bike past their chairlift (I think there is only one) during the summer but the road is always closed when there's snow



Hopefully this storm will be a good one, I'm really hoping both High and SS/BB get enough snow to stay open thru April. Or at least be cold enough that they can make snow.
