So I am headed to Seattle for school, leaving on saturday and I am wondering what skis to bring. I will probably coming home for thanksgiving but definitely Christmas. I have a pass at Stevens, anything open by thanksgiving?

My quiver. on3p Wrenegade. 178 Scratch BC, 170 boone superfrieks and 188 Bluehouse districts with fritschi's

I was thinking of just bringing the Disctricts for early season touring or something, and the boons if anything opens up to mess around with in the park if anything is open.

How is the early season usually up in washington?


Thanks

I would not even bother to be honest.
It could snow before thanksgiving, it could not snow till you go home for christmas break.
It costs $20-$30 to fedex a pair of skis. If it looks like winter is going to come early then ship them up. If not leave them down south.

It's hit or miss. Generally Thanksgiving is a bit early for everything but possibly baker. Touring during that time is very possible, but not a sure thing. If you are going home in late nov and cant bring all of your skis just bring your bluehouses I guess. Unless you want to hit some pre-season rails and stuff~

I would hit pre season rails, thing is getting up there for me. Don't have a car or anything so will be finding people that have an extra spot or if all else fails use whatever the school organizes.

Anyone around Seattle be interested in touring if it snows? might just bring my Districts in case we get lucky and it snows early or something.

haha. I wouldn't call ON3P that. The districts I bought from a guy local for $150 because I liked them more then the Apache Chiefs that I got with the Fritschi's. Sold the Apachi's for $200 so win there. Ya I don't really like boone that much. Got them for pretty cheap from a guy who used to ride for them just as a crappy ski to beat up in the park and stuff. Have had the rossignals for a long time, my parents bought them for me awhile ago.

So there's my defense.

this kid hardly qualifies as jumping on the ON3P bandwagon (although it is probably a good idea). He has been testing skis for scott and sam.
