Amen Snowolf! Im all about the outdoors and spent this summer settling in, moving into my cabin, starting my new job, etc. I did get a nice hike in in Denali - incredible! But next summer I'll be able to fish and hunt as a resident and can't wait to hit all the awesome trails hiking and go camping I'd live outdoors if I could - although I wouldnt recommend it to myself when its -40...

I'm Brad, 20 years old and currently residing in Florida. Used to live in NY where I bought a snowskateboard as a kid and attempted to launch off kickers I built. Then I picked up skiing since my aunt and her son skied at Holiday Valley and invited me to go. I found skiing to be easy and boring. It was like rollerblading or playing ice hockey without the action. Then I moved to Florida in 2003 and have been going to Summit County since 2008? I head out there with my friend 2 or 3 times a year and shred Breck, Keystone, and A-Basin. Already got my season pass and I will be on my new setup Ride DH2 with Capo bindings December 9th.

Hey all Chris here from Nova Scotia, Canada. Home of some of North Americas most boring hills haha. Been snowboarding three years now and love it, regardless of the lack of places in the province to go. Always up for meeting new people to make trips with so let me know if you're in the area.

Hi there my name is Raymond. I'm from the NYC area. I am Addicted to Snowboarding and like to ski also. Would love to go any chance i can go. Used to drive all the time to vermont till the speeding tickets added up and the boring drive coming back home lol.. Now i just run my own bus trips for my Family, friends and co workers. We go once a month to vermont. At times I even run 2 buses haha. Love reading some of the stories on this forum and especially the experiences that you guys have with certain moutains. My favorite mountains to board are Vail and Whistler!!! Maybe will get a chance to meet some of you guys and have some nice runs somewhere.. Glad to be on this forum

Hey, I'm from Wisconsin and I have been boarding for about 4 years now and I should be wayy better than I am haha. I have a Burton King Wide and I am looking to get something different. This year I want to get more into the park and have some fun! So I want to get more of a park oriented board that I can screw around on. The only thing is that there are soo many of them

. Well this place seems like a great environment to learn and maybe find a new board. Thank you! Later.

I am hoping I get the job driving truck for Carlisle out of Anchorage because I really want to move back to Alaska....

I saw the pics on the other thread - awesome, thanks! Makes me already ready for next summer, especially since it was a crisp -13 when I started my car this morning (joys of living in the flats). I am near Chena River. I looked for a cabin out on CHSR but they are few and far or crappy or lived in or too expensive. I got a place on Badger near the gate so I'm only about 10 minutes from CHSR down Nordale, 10 minutes to town, everything else about 20-30 minutes and they keep the road clear because of base and no hills to struggle with (however, I jog and they dont clear the nice, huge bike path!).

Good luck getting a job for Carlisle. You could work out of the Banks too though!

Usually Apple Mountain or Snowsnake, compared to boyne theyre not great but theyre the closest drive.
