1 grand doesn't give you a whole lot to work with, maybe like a norco you'd get a solid frame and descent components, but otherwise don't even think about a full susp. for a grand, look at like a norco sasquatch or maybe 135 or 250, they're not to much

p3s are way more than a grand, p2s you can get for like 600, and then just put a dj3 and some other shit on it, u should also consider building up ur own bike, ull be much happier, check out unrealcycles.com, best hardtail shop anywhere

build your own. get a HT, dj3, some cromo cranks, and a decent build kit and you can easily get it for 1000. Check unreal cycles.

Any of Azonic Bikes are sick but then You will be paying more than a grand I have a P.2 and the forks blow but a killer bike for 600.00 I havent really heard alot about Norco but the stuff that I have heard is all good the Norco 250 I think is not alot of money but I might be wrong on that dont even look at Trek hmmmm I also think Clifcat makes a badass bike

There is no such thing as shitty snow only shitty skiers.
If it was easy they would call it snowboarding.

Get one of the hardtail konas or trek brusier. They're solid, cheapish hardtails. DO NOT GET A FULL SUSPENSION BIKE!!

I suggest you get a hardtail. I know they aren't as good for jumps and drops.But you can get so much control compared to a squishy that feels like Jelly when you pedal..
