that's an amazing deal, it actually doesn't sound correct. Air alone should run about 400+. If you've never been to tahoe, the only mountains worth checking out are squaw, kirkwood, and alpine meadows. i would also take the 2 hour drive south to mammoth. |
i think the club has some pretty good clout in terms of pricing. for local VT trips, it's 135-150 for lodging (usually at a lesser inn owned by the resort), two days lift, maybe breakfast - no transportation provided. i mean the tahoe deal is an estimate right now, so of course, subject to change.
the club's jackson hole trip is 935 for members, and pretty much the same deal (except jackson hole only lift tickets), with one night of riding at snow king thrown in. |

for an extra 135 don't even think about it, go to jackson. |

my ride DH 06 is all ed up. the second time using it in winter 06/07 i hit the nose on a rail and split the lamination. I fixed it for last winter, but I busted it again on a cliff landing in whistler. i'm super loyal to ride snowboards, which means I'm buying the 08-09 ride DH. I still have my ride delta binding, and my ride boots. Of course the anon googles - i picked up an extra pair at the Princeton liquidation sale last spring. Since i gots me a better job over the offseason i'm probably upgrading with some new pants and a nice jacket (probably playing it safe with either burton or convert). |

| If anyone is up in Vermont give a holler. I'll be getting a pass to Stowe this year but will be making frequent trips to Sugarbush and Jay. Might hit Killington |

no - i just don't tune my board. i've actually never sharpened my edges. I hear people bevel the edges, however, i would just ride a few times and the edges soften themselves. Unless you are hitting rails all day, in my opinion, detuning is a waste of money.
The one thing i should do more of is wax my board. |

| Anyone go riding yet? I hit up okemo last weekend and the conditions were good even though only 15 trails open. This thanksgiving break a whole bunch of us are going up to tear it up. |

what the hell happened to all the snowboarders?????
I'm leaving for Whistler tomorrow at 7pm!!! I would be so much more excited if i didn't have to prepare for a job interview tomorrow morning (10am), write a cover letter to meet a submission deadline (5pm tomorrow) for an on campus recruiting event, and create a presentation for a partner at my job before 4pm. so much to do!! |
