Yeah I was up at 5:30 too. On the road at 6:10 though :p. I hit the slopes non stop until about 14:00 though. It was getting really icy towards the end of the day so we decided we had enough. We didn't stop the whole time we were there though. Did both mountains at the resort, did about 20 different runs. I'm so satisfied its not even funny. On a side note, since Whistler is weed capital around here, when we were parking our car at around 8:30, these guys were smoking up hehe. Some people are just too intense, I'm not sure if weed and snowboarding mix very well. |
Yeah, we took a little break to get some eats and hydrate.
When we were on the lift there were some guys in front of us smoking weed. i'd be sliding down my back the whole time haha |

I've done it once or twice and had fun. As long as you don't get so high you're a safety hazard, you're fine. I wouldn't try anything really difficult while stoned either, but that goes without saying. |

| i tore my ACL while playing basketball so no snowboarding for me this year. i unfortunately bought a plane ticket to salt lake city before i got hurt. oh well, whistler last year was quite a trip. i vow that my first boarding trip in the 08/09 season will be to a big mountain out west. i love going to stratton and mt snow in the northeast. was boarding with last year's custom and had a custom X lined up for this year. had to return that though :( |

im from sacramento so im relatively familiar.
you have kirkwood, squaw valley, north star, boreal, sugar bowl, heavenly, mt rose, and alpine.
squaw always has quality stuff. boreal is the worst. kirkwood, north star, sugar bowl, alpine and heavenly generally are relatively good. mt. rose is new to me so i am unsure. |

I decided to go to REI yesterday with a friend to get his bike repaired. Turns out that they were having a massive sale in the back for members only and I found a few slick deals.
1 - 2008 Burton Custom Snowboard (originally 499.99 and I got it for 42 dollars brand new)
2 - 2008 Ride SPi Bindings (originally 219.99 and I got them for 50 dollars and all they were missing was a screw which I found at Home Depot for 13 cents.
3 - Vans Cirro Boots (Originally 269 and I got them for 73 dollars)
I haven't been up since 1998 but when I found these deals, I couldn't pass it up. I can finally enjoy the same slopes that hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics.

:tongue2 Snowbird is where I have my passes for this Tuesday.
Right now I'm in Utah, but sooner or later I plan on going back to Washington. I have to take advantage of these mountains while I can. |
