Been a long while

Got the new board (it's sweet!) and have been dialing it in some.

I was able to get out last Saturday to The Canyons and to Snowbird on Sunday. I really can't say that I enjoyed Snowbird that much. I'll give it another shot, but it seemed to be just crap for snowboarding. The lift runouts all sloped off to the left or right keeping you from being able to choose where you wanted to go, cat-tracks seem to be the favored method to get around everywhere (hate...) and on Wilbere Ridge it was cut into pieces by cat-tracks intersecting it the whole way down.

I went to The Canyons again on Wednesday morning. It was great aside from almost running through what I will assume was deer crap in the middle of some groomer. My board was a little wobbly so I set my stance back about an inch and was able to just lay down the turns. Very sweet. I'm going to diddle with it a little more (angles and such) and see if I can make it any better.

Proform shipped!

My gear! <-- tracking info. Click it.

I understand there's some gnar what needs shralpin'. I think I'll take care of that Friday morning. :)

No Powder Mountain for me

I've decided against getting my pass for Powder Mountain. I don't think I'll get up there very much and I could use the $300 on other stuff (like recovering from my car repair bill). Canyons will have to do it for me this year. Besides only rich assholes have more than one ski pass. ;)
