I will start this thread.

I am 24 years old, live in Toronto Canada.

I grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan (where there is a ton of snow) so naturally i have gone both skiing and snowboarding.

I'm still a beginner snowboarder, but hope to learn lots at Snowboarding Forum :D

Howdy folks,

My name is Andrew and I love to snowboard :). I have been doing it since senior year of high school, and I am almost 3 years out of college, which means ive been boarding for about 8 years (wow im old). Anywho, I am married to a gorgeous woman, and we have a 4 month old baby. I have perused these forums for about a year now, so i figured I would make an account and actually contribute.

Thanks for the great site!

Oh yea, here is my setup...

2008 K2 Darkstar
2008 Salomon Relay Pro bindings
2008 Salomon F22 bootz

Hello from Central PA

Hi everyone,26 year old male, new member here living in Central PA, very small mountain nearby(Tussey Mountain). Tried it twice, really like it, going to buy my own gear soon, just as soon as I stop overanalyzing everything, but plan on spending a lot more time on the slopes. Anyone else from State College?

Hello! Should i buy this board.

I just wanted to say hello. I just started riding and decided to get my first board because I have a friend who is looking to sell his. The board is a 174cm Never Summer Legacy 2008 mid-wide. It has been ridden 10 times. I am 6'2, 225 lbs, size 12 boot. I am wondering if this board is too big for me or not. What do you think?

Howdy!

I'm Jason. I'm 28 and I've been riding since I was a teenager. Unfortunately for me I had a big 8 year hiatus from the thing I love most. All is better now though and I am back where I belong...on the mountain! For now I ride an older Kemper board, some '05 Cartels, and some Heelside boots. Setup works good for now. Next season is upgrade season though. Anyway, I live in Washington which means I get to ride on some great mountains. And now, let my posting begin! :D

First off welcome everyone who recently signed up!

and...


You'll have to tell me how CalMaritime is, I had a scholarship there when I graduated from HS 3 years ago, but regretfully, I passed it up. Are you going to live on campus? If so, you gonna stay on the Golden Bear?

What's up, I'm Mason and I've been riding for too long for my current skill level. But I live in Ohio so I use that as my scapegoat. haha, I just got a Salomon Drift, and K2 Autos for this season! haven't ridden them yet as I got them for Christmas and have been too busy with my senior year of high school:(

sup, names Eumir (brazilian)... 21... stuck in snowless texas, born in L.A. raised in pasadena... recently picked up boarding pretty well... looking to take as many trips out to as many mountains whenever possible just to enjoy being out on the snow and riding. I can honestly say it's the funnest sport i've ever done, even more than wakeboarding!

went away for awhile

Just introducing myself...I'm from Philly and just got back into snowboarding after about 10 years. I snowboarded often as a teenager (was intermediate) but ended up falling out of touch with my snowboard friends and had no one to go with. Luckily I reunited with a couple hardcore riders and they pushed me to get back into it. I went to a hill in northern Michigan over the x-mas break and fell back in love. Unfortunately I had to use a rental board (which caught edges like none other) but I was able to pick up on the fundamentals after 1 day of riding on my ass. I didn't want to leave after the second day cuz I was confident and enjoying myself. I just bought a bunch of new gear ( 2009 Ride Concept TMS 159/2010 Flow Quattro Bindings) and plan to get up (poconos) in couple weeks. I'm pissed I stopped for so long!!!:mad: Stoked to be back!:)

Hey everyone, I'm a total Newb from NYC, but I got some friends who took me out to Blue Mountain in Pa and I fell in love. My friends go once a week and they say I picked it up pretty fast. I HAVE done my hw, and I know this season should just be on rentals, but I REALLY want to buy my own gear. We'll see if I can keep the fever down, lol. Have a great season people.

Hello everyone, my names Ted Im south of Pittsburgh in PA... I just bought my first board yesterday and have been wanting to try snowboarding for some time now.( I had a cheapy years ago and never went any further ) Im excited to give it a shot and plan on going in the next few days and probably making a fool out of myself. Planning on going to 7 springs or Willowbrook which is close by... and hopefully depending on how bad I injure myself the first time make it to the Wisp in Deep Creek Maryland sometime cause its beautiful down there.
