I made a thread like this before so sorry for the kind of repost but I'm stuck in St.John's at school and was wondering if there is anyone on here that has a set up or would be down to set something up (arena snow probably)? Or even if anyone knows someone that isn't on NS that snowboards or something where a couple of my friends have their boards here too. Come on NS I'm itchin to get on my skis!!

I know a snowboarder named Erik McLean who's always down to jib. He has a drop in, a generator, truck and lights. Pm me your contact info and I'll send it to him. I can't remember his number.
Look up the ski/ride club at MUN though, I think they have a pretty well organized one. They put on a rail jam at Marble last season. I forget who else is out there. There's bound to be a bunch of people who will be eager to get on the go with some rink snow or w/e.

It must be hard getting stuck in a place so flat.

They do get snow, just not as much as the West coast. And there's always rink snow.When st John's does get snow, they usually get a lot.
Marble is a 6 hour minimum drive from St John's in the VERY BEST of road conditions, which are virtually non existent. It's more likely to take 9< hours in the winter.

St.John's is actually hilly as fuck dude I think you're thinking of the prairies.


Yeah marble is a pretty tricky trip for a university student but my school is lining up a long weekend trip that's sponsored by coors light and and has legit rail jam the final night. If anyone is around cornerbrook that weekend me and a couple guys would be pumped to do some urban.

I went to St. Johns a couple years ago, there was a bunch of photos people had from the winter before where it had drifted 9+ feet downtown, people were digging tunnels for cars and shit. Pretty crazy. St. Johns is a cool place, I would love to go back...

OP pretty sure there's some cool stuff there, and it for sure snows sometimes. You should hit up Jodi.

Also, I don't know where you would get BC knowledge there, but if you could learn a thing or two or meet up with a group willing to teach you, I know people ski up north. The Meatheads did it one year, it actually looked pretty awesome at times
