You weren't kidding about how nice snowbird is. They still have a 150 inch base and everything is open. I also discovered that a 10 year break from this sport basically sucks.

snowbird is great on a powder day. the second time i went to snowbird i was greeted with 2 ft of pow. since then, i haven't had any pow days there, but the terrain is still great. when it hasn't snowed in a while, i would rather go to brighton.

Yeah, I had two things working against me: first time since 98, and coming off of the ACL, MCL complete tear last June. It wasn't much of an issue most of the time, but it kept me from getting much confidence when turning.

you're a lot further along than me mang, you'll be ok. i had my ACL repair december 26. i had done only about 10 weeks of PT up until my trip and my PT guy wasn't enthused about my going, but he said to take it easy. the hard part about it is that i ride regular and it was my left acl that needed the fixing. turning wasn't too bad, but it was slowing down and stopping on my heel side that sucked. you'll get it back for sure.

I love the off-season. I just picked up an 07 Ride Society Limited 160 for $140 on Craigslist. I have my season pass to Snowbird ready and waiting to be used.

Anyone who needs discount snowboard gear check out
whiskeymilitia.com

They offer one-at-a-time deals that are really discounted until they sell out then a new item is put up.

Theres more surfing/skate gear going up during the off season but there are some SICK deals that go up once the season comes around. You just have to check often since the items get switched out pretty quick.
