Hi all,

Am new to this site. Stumbled across it while looking for info on stoked big air tbh.

It would appear that most ppl on here are from the US and canada. Im 28 and I've been boarding for about 7/8 years. Have only ever been to resorts in Europe, mainly due to cost reasons. This year we went to Bardonnechia while the snowboard world cup was on. Had some good snow and a great week, the off piste was brilliant through the trees.

I ride a 'Ride Custom TMS' with burton custom bindings. Have got the old freeride stiff as a beast Timeless too but i prefer this one, is more forgiving and means i can hit a kicker without getting thrown to the floor when i land.

Nope thats it i think unfortunately

Had a look at the one day ski train, looked good until i realised you had to sort your own transfers out whihc would've bumped up the cost.

Going to tamworth snowdome for ramp n rail night in two weeks...but that doesnt really count lol
