In this thread we get stoked about cool stuff like skiing and stuff.

I'm stoked cause today was opening day and I got to ski with my best friend for the first time since June.


Why are you stoked, NS?

I'm stoked because it's my first season back with a new ACL! Hand crafted with love and years of surgical experience. Please don't be mad for the abuse it'll take this upcoming season.
Copped the new Honey Badgers for my 21st birthday. Super stoked to try those out!
Fall semester is over, thank fuck.
Looks like it's going to snow in the Tahoe area around the end of the week.

SlushFor sure lol, I remember went I went a while ago and KB's parks blew Bristol's out of the water by a mile. Recently they've been laughably bad, but hopefully that changes with the new manager! KB is never really crowded, but I don't like that they've got nothing but old school lifts. It makes it harder to hot lap, but I guess keeps the traffic down. Never been to HV when it's busy (haven't been that often period), but at least if the parks are bad there's some decent terrain to ski


at least bristol has some decent parks now

Yeah absolutely. They're getting so much better and i'm stoaked for them, but they need to learn how to build jumps, and get more creative.

Been overstoked for this season since October. Got a few runs in at Killington Oct 29th and haven't had another chance to get out there. Once I get back from Maui in Jan I have a trip to Jay Peak, Park City in Feb, and Breck in March. Hopefully adding a trip to Whis for April. Old man winter needs to keep bringing the pow.

john18061806Stoked because it's brutally cold on lake superior but that means that the UP is getting absolutely puked on. Going to make a trip up there soon.


Yeahh Bohemia is going to be deep this year. The forecast for Mohawk, MI rivals many of the resorts out west right now.

Even Duluth has gotten 3 inches of lake effect in the past week (I just guessed it was lake effect because of an east wind, no snow projected, and it was like -5 degrees). First time in 2 full winters. So hyped to ride there in February when it's got the deep deeps.

Today was hands down one of the best days I've very had skiing. We rolled with a crew of 7 people. 3 skiers 4 snowboarders. We kept finding tons of shin deep powder. We kept finding mountain bike jumps and we also learned tons of new shit in the park. 12/10 day.

Central WI actually showing up this winter. probably 15 inches so far and 10+ called for this weekend. Temps are holding through the furthest forecast. New Kartel 108's are absolutely bomber. STOKE IS REAL!

Went skiing with some dope people today who got me to hit a rail. And after an hour I got to the end a couple times which was sick. My friend did the dumbest backie off the smallest fucking lip I've ever seen and stomped it. It's always nice skiing with good people. Makes me way more excited to keep getting out there. Also we've been getting some good snow so here's to hopefully some more!!

hard to beat reuniting with all the buddies and skiing everyones favorite chair. Managed to find a sweet wind-lip into a crazy fun hip jump that we built up today. Please don't fuck it up if anyones skiing PCMR tomorrow and makes it up to Jupiter. Patrol seemed cool with it, but don't be that guy pls.

Guinea pig haha I like yours a lot more though

I spent all day yesterday building a booter alone in the slackcountry. Roughly 50ft from lip to sweet spot, ~15ft step down, sketch inrun. After 3 hour build, hit it with huge uncertainty and came up short. Dropped in from higher and higher and still couldnt get the speed for it. Called it after a half dozen hits on lack of speed. Jump was primo, wish I could ski faster and better

Then andy parry gave me a free kozy at mt snow today, stoked!

I've always wondered what it's live being a skier from the Southern Hemisphere.

In one sense I feel like it would be sick. It's your off season and all this content is coming out and you (probably) have a bunch of free time cause you aren't skiing so you can pay attention to it all. Whereas our off season, it's pretty damn dead aside from the stuff coming out of Australia/NZ/NA summers. So you guys aren't missing a whole lot in a way.

I would probably be super jealous of everyone skiing though haha.

Yeah, I'm really a surfer first and a skier second (I was only introduced to the snow a few years ago but have since worked a couple of seasons and ski a lot in uni breaks.) But the biggest problem with Australia at least is that our season only lasts about 3 months at best. It's nice being a park rider here because we might only get one or two proper pow days a season with a lot of hot slushy ones in between. So in terms of what we miss, good snow and a longer season is pretty solid haha. Also, we only have a few ski hills in the entire country so unless you live in the snowy, long travel is necessary.

But yeah, lots of jealousy flowing north at the mo

I'm stoked because Southern Ontario actually has a fucking winter, and I got hired as an instructor so now I can afford some decent park skis. Also just learned how to ride a box, gonna go out and practice some rails tomorrow.

Atmospheric rivers are fucking wild. Already 60" from the last cycle nearly in some spots and the forecast calls for at least another foot to about 3-4ft. I dont think ive ever seen this much snow since living here. I used to think the UP of michigan got pounded. This is nuts.

Cant even begin to fathom what the sierras are experiencing at the moment.

Just landed my first clean, stomped 3 today. First time for everything I guess, but landing something I have actually dreamt about was unreal. All the cunts who heckled me from the lift during my failed attempts can rot in eternal hellfire, but they did piss me off enough to keep going for it... so there's that.

Was pretty bummed the last month. My car broke down, I haven't gone skiing, lost my job etc

Anyway was doing my best to stay positive and now things are starting to look up. Haven't locked into a job but have some good prospects. Car has been running well. I'm ready to get back to work, get back on the slopes and fucking move somewhere decent.

I started hitting rails today out of the blue. Always avoided them and stuck to jumps and all of a sudden I worked up the courage and I fuckin greased a 20-foot down rail first try /claim. Soo stoked. Almost 19 years old and I was starting to doubt if I was ever going to do that shit. I love NS.
