Tavaruawon Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 ill try alameda county spot i guess.. over by pleasanton cuz there be some rich folks round bouts up therrrr NorSki in Pleasanton is pretty dope. They have a lot of good deals and probably the best prices in the area. It's off of Hopyard Rd. Boarding is cool and all, but only if you have the most expensive and flashy gear to rock on the slopes. Fanny packs and neon are making a comeback.

Tavaruawon Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I don't know if you Tahoe headies know about Homewood... you should. It's been #1 on my local 'shred' list for years now. Awesome place, cheap and pretty much void of kooks. Locals only type spot. Check it out sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChupacabra Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I can't stand the ridiculous shit so many kids wear. Neon zubaz style coats, plaid looking jackets with neon yellow pants hanging off the ass and like 3 bandanas hanging off the pants for no reason, etc. I keep it black. Plain, simple, functional waterproof shit. I don't think i paid more than $50 for my pants since they had been sitting around the shop for years and had been price cut repeatedly since everyone seems to be all about the ridiculous colors. Also grabbed a really nice, waterproof northface jacket last year on sale for like $150 since it was a year old, then everything was 50% off as well so it only ended up costing me $75. Fuck if i know how they do it, but if i open the armpit vents and unzip my coat a little, its perfect temp with a tshirt even on hot days, and if i throw on a sweatshirt it keep me plenty warm on even the coldest days. My old jacket, if it was at all warm, i'd be fucking sweating bullets even if i had on a tshirt. I think i just overheat easily though, since i almost always have my gloves and hat off for part of the lift ride, even when its chilly out. On an unrelated note, i searched for my colorado/utah ultra photothread from last year and it looks like it got lost in the big crash. Weak. Really poorly stitched panoramic i took from the top of a peak in Utah. Can't remember which resort it was at for the life of me though http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v152/MrChupacabra/UT%20CO%2009/Utahpanoramic.jpg?t=1254902915 (zoom in to 100% for maximum detail. durr) RIP Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 When it comes to clothing, Siver Cartel was the best fly by night ski clothing operation to ever exist. Easily the best fitting jackets (none of this cumbersome oversized bullshit, but not "fitted" either) and in seven years not a single stitch has ever come undone. Started in about 2002 by pro skier Mike Nick, they made some great gear for 5 or 6 years. Then it disappeared. You now can find all their gear at bargain bin prices in places like TJ Maxxx. A damn shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChupacabra Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 If my current lack of being able to find a job continues, i'm contemplating ski bumming it for the winter, or at least working any job i can find in a city close to the mountains like denver or boulder. If i'm going to be making shit wages for a few months, i might as well do it somewhere that i can get out and ride a couple days a week. Plus, being able to get in more than 5 or 10 days of riding in a year, i could really step my shit up. I consider myself good and am fine on most anything short of long, thin chutes, ridiculously tight trees, and the straight down type of shit like in the first picture up there. I'd like to clean it up a bit though, but when i take two 5 day trips, the first day of both is partially a warmup, then since i don't do it often, by the 4th and 5th days i start getting pretty beat towards the end of the day. If i got a full season of riding twice a week or more, i'd probably be able to start getting into a lot more backcountry shit, and get myself in good enough shape to hike to some peaks when there is amazing powder to be had. I'm getting myself all excited just thinking about it. fffffffffuuuuuuuu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood fart Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I went snowboarding when I was young and lived in Northern Virginia. It was pretty fun. I think this winter I am going to go snowboarding on the Alps. I figure I might as well do it while I am here, instead of being a big sissy baby and letting life and opportunities pass me by. Although I have a feeling that I will probably end up trading in the snowboard for a sled and sledding until I can't sled no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DopeInMySpleen Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Stowe(Vermont) Has become one of my favorites on the east coast. If anyone knows the trail the Kitchen wall there is mad fun to be had on it for days. Decent night life in the area and good cheap rooms. Sheeeiit my boy and I even picked up a register clerk and chick moppin the floor at the Mobil station next to our room, smoked out and smashed. Good times.

SwampFightOner Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I had a friend almost convince me to go snowboarding with him, but I couldn't for whatever reason. He came back with broken ribs, and I was happy I didn't go. Cool story me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
