One Week Left and DUMPING

2008-04-02T16:46:29Z

My hill closes April 6th, big sigh, and I'm going to ride it every day that I can. Stopped after dropping this rock the third time, unclipped and postholed back to to this angle:

Dumping outside right now. Big time. Looks like 6" in the last 6 hours on the deck so it's really going off up top. And I'm so sore from today!

Anybody else getting some? Post a pic!

It's Dumping!

2008-03-28T03:16:26Z

Six inches so far since I got up and let the dogs out this morning and still coming down steady with no let up in the next 24 hours according to the latest weather. Looks like the whole NorthWest is getting hit. This is very, very good. Bet 49 opens on Friday. C YA!

Last Day on a Lift?

2008-03-24T06:26:19Z

Got to ride closing day at your local hill, it's a tradition even if you go ride elsewhere afterwards. Bummer is the season pass doesn't work anywhere else...

My hill 49'North is done April 6th. We've got over 140" of base at the moment at the peak and it snowed all day out the window again today. Officially that's somewhere over 30" for the week.

And you?

07: 2nd hottest year since 1880

2008-03-18T01:56:41Z

With scientists reading the riot act and nobody listening, I just wonder how much longer we're going to get to ride the white. We may see a cessation of snow in winter, especially in low elevation or southern US mountain areas (Sierras are already in trouble and worse is coming soon according to some science info).

Here's the link on this article:

Weather Being Weird For You?

2008-03-02T03:56:12Z

50'F freaking degrees today, the high 40s yesterday and the last few days before that. Ground has defrosted and it hasn't froze at night for a week. It's freaking ice/slush laced mud under the snowpack (especially where I've snowblown the pack off). Riding spring conditions, corn turns to slush in the sun on the hill then refreezes overnight. Went snowshoeing today up the ridge behind the house looking for lines and even the Atlas' were sinking deep.

Friday in town people were acting like winter's over and it was still February on my calender! Nope, we need raging snowstorms & more powder days...oh pleeeeeze bring in a couple of fronts down from Alaska or those sneaky Yukon express storms. Anybody doing snow dances? lol

Question about Flow bindings

2008-01-29T22:48:04Z

Hey,

So, I have Flow bindings and for the most part I really like them but I do have some problems with them. Many times when I try to gey my back foot into my bindings the heel of my boot gets caught along the back edge and I have to fight with the binding to get my boot in. I have tried sitting in every different position to get my boot in far enough and I have tried every standing position. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to correct this problem??? Thanks!

Blue Boarder Babe-let

2008-01-16T03:58:47Z

Day 5 for this 6 year old and she's screaming down the hill doing falling leaf. Even started to point & go and then back on her backside edge this afternoon. She wants off the bunny lift and is ready to try lift #2 (halfway to the top).

Sure is fun teaching the little ones I must admit.

First-Timer...

2008-01-16T02:30:44Z

Went up to Crystal to learn how to snowboard this past week for 3 days. It was the first time I ever did any type of snow sport.

Bit it big time - A LOT. Wiped out, got sucked into the pow and LUVED every minute of it! I'm incredibly sore and can't wait to recover to go back for more punishment! LOL!

After using the rental gear - I realized how important my own boots will be... Couldn't even feel my toe-side edge while trying to carve on the last day, cuz my shins were toast from my boots. Gonna get a pair of Vans with the Boa system - tried on a pair & they feel like heaven on my feet after my trip.

Was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on a good board for beginners. I hear that GNU's rock and Burton customs are good. Also wondering what ppl think about flow bindings - heard some mixed reviews.

Big dump!

2008-01-02T04:52:27Z

I just heard on the weather channel that Mt. Hood got 47 inches yesterday. Is that true? That is a fuck load of snow. I love snow like that. We got a 50 inch dump here in VT last winter, and the year before I rode on 73 inches of fresh. It gets a bit hard to manage though I must say.

I hope all of you out Hood way are sporting big smiles and tired legs. Woo Hoo!

Japan

2007-12-07T23:53:11Z

Had to travel to Japan on business, so i couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a day and hit the only resort they had open (Mt. Naeba/Kagura - in the Yuzawa area of the Niigata prefecture). Was quite crowded, snow sports are very popular here, but good riding. In Japan, i would estimate about 70% snowboard, and only 30% ski. Also the snowboarders here all ride like Shaun White, that is to say, they don't actually make any turns, they just do a series of 360's down the mountain.

I will try to post some pix in the photos section, if i can, before i leave for that grueling 12.5 hour flight back.

Building the ultimate backyard park

2007-11-25T21:17:18Z

I've been eyeing up my garage roof this fall, thinkin it would work beautifully if I could pile snow up to the edge and make a decent run out of it. My fence is just far enough away to build a little kicker off of, with plenty of room behind it to allow for good speed when you hit it, plus an old picnic table that is just crying out for frontside slides. I just need to know how to best go about it. I have a snowblower, shovels, stuff like that, how can I get it solidly packed? For all the DVDs I've watched, they don't show to much of the making of a jump. Help!!

Rider Hosting Program?

2007-11-03T07:42:14Z

Hello snowboard enthusiasts the world over! I'm sure you are all as excited as I am about the plummeting temperatures in hopes of plentiful frosty precipitation to come. But let us skip the pleasantries and get down to business here...using this tribe in ways heretofore unpossible before the invention of the internet.

First a little background for those of you that don't know me... I live on the East Coast (Jersey City in the house say yeah!). There is no such thing as "champagne powder" here, and if you were to tell a local about snow w/ 10% moisture content they would wrap you up in a straight jacket and drive you to the nearest padded room. You won't see snowflakes lookin all pretty and unique and crystallized, they fall in a mushy pile of wet heavy amorphous blobules.... and don't even get me started on our shorty hills that pass for mountain resorts here...i have to drive 4.5 hours each way every weekend to get to a summit that peaks 1000 feet below where most west coast resorts put their base lodges. Oh, the frustration...

As a result, I've recently started an annual tradition with a couple of friends, each year to book a winter trip to a destination that offers the type of riding we see in our favorite snowboard porn videos and our most exhilarating dreams. Last year's trip was to Summit county in Colorado, and while they didn't exactly have the knee deep stuff we were hoping for at the time, losing our breath at 14,000ft and dropping into the bowls of Breckenridge (followed by night riding at keystone) put a smile on our faces that stayed there for weeks! and of course memories of a lifetime.

So what's the damn point of this long winded story? I ever so digress...

While in Colorado, we couch surfed w/ friends in Denver and Boulder for a week, and we found the experience of local shredders invaluable on the hill and around town. We can fend for ourselves of course, but it's so much nicer to have somebody to point you in the right direction, or even better, come ride with you and make sure you have enough speed to clear that long traverse, or avoid that pain in the ass 2 mile mogul run, or pull you out of that chest deep treewell you just fell backwards into, not to mention saving hundreds of $$$ a night that of course translate into love and gifts showered upon said hosts in heaps.

So with that spirit in mind, I wonder if we can create something positive on this thread where people who happen to be so lucky as to live near a major powder destination and have couch or some floor space to give up for a week, step forward and offer it up to people on a snowboard holiday. Or if you're a local and know of some mom and pop type place trying to rent out a room for cheap, or offer up tips on lodging that would be otherwise difficult to find online. In return you will have some new buddies to ride with for a week, lots of free beer, food, gifts both material and spiritual, human gratitude, sexual favors if you're lucky and the knowledge that you too now have a couch w/ your name on it somewhere else in the world.

Let the steppin forward begin (especially if you live in Utah, Colorado, BC, Washington, Oregon, Alberta, Tahoe, Japan, France, Switzerland, Austria, Chile, Norway, Argentina, so on and so forth - you know who you are)

I'd be happy to go first - I live in Jersey City, NJ, not exactly a snowboarder's dream but a hip and lovely destination literally a 4 minute subway ride from downtown Manhattan. If you ever find yourself heading to NYC, look me up, and i will host and/or find you and your friends a place to stay...just mention the Rider Hosting Program to get your coupon!

K2 Electra w/ piezoelectric damping?

2007-09-11T14:24:36Z

Anyone ride this board before? I got a used 162 for $75, and wondered if they piezoelectric gizmo in these boards really makes much of a difference for damping the board at high speeds? Some reviewers seem to think so.

I figured for $75 it was worth a try! Gotta be better than my old (and progressively more noodly) Burton Canyon 162.

Can't wait to try it out...

Bob Barci Memorial Jamboree coming February 1-3 ,2008

Greetings, all...as i posted a while back, my friend Bob Barci, founder of the Mt Baker Legendary Banked Slalom, & overall snowboarding innovator & fanatic, as well as founding member of the original Mt Baker Hard Core, passed away this past march...one thing Bob carried with him to the end was a passion for turning people onto their first ride. so, in that spirit, I am organizing a weekend long jamboree based around 2 premises: 1-take a friend who's never ridden before riding for the first time & 2-ride alongside of some pros & legends...I am currently working on getting some sponsors & demos set up...I was originally hoping to have it at Mt Baker, but I think the first one may wind up starting at 49 Degrees North this time & spreading outward from there...I ultimately hope to see every area in Washington taking part within 3 years...so far for this one, we have Shawn Farmer on board, & waiting to back from some others...anyone interested in getting onboard should message me...we are gonna have a seriously good time :)

Tips on SA riding and travel

2007-09-01T15:44:36Z

I am flying out in just a few days to Chile and Argentina, to ride Portillo, Arpa, Bariloche and Termas de Chillan!! Any pointers on a) best runs on those mountains (for someone who loves steeps and trees - think Alpental if you've been there) and b) fun stuff to do after riding? We'll be based out of Santiago the first four days, then Bariloche, then the Mission Impossible lodge in Las Trancas near Termas de Chillan.

I promise to send snow reports and a link to pix and/or bloggage - but I might not get to it until I return ;-)

Any recommendations on general travel in those countries would be great too.

The snow is fluffy but has a nice firmness to it, and packs well. Everything looks so pretty. They're calling for another 5cm today, 10 cm tonight, and 5 tomorrow for Nelson, which will be double that or more up at the hill. Yay!

Sugarloaf/USA and Sunday River Sold

Now, this is a surprise! While many people had thought Les Otten would make a return, it seems that he was out-bid by Boyne USA Resorts.
Michigan-based Boyne USA Resorts are buying Sugarloaf/USA in Carrabassett Valley and Sunday River in Newry from American Skiing Co. The $77 million deal will be finalized at the end of July.
Boyne USA Resorts is a family-run business that owns mountain and golf resorts such as Boyne Mountain in Michigan, Big Sky Resort in Montana and Gatlinburg Sky Lift in Tennessee, according to information from Boyne.
Boyne will turn Sunday River into more of a four-season resort, complementing other community assets, including forests and a river offering activities such as canoeing, hiking and fishing.
Greg Sweetser, executive director of the Ski Maine Association, said Sunday River is No. 1 in total number of skier visits in Maine, while Sugarloaf/USA is No. 2. In total, they account for more than 50 percent of the skier visits in Maine.

NW Snowboarding Pioneer Bob Barci passes

2007-05-27T21:04:13Z

I just found this...Bob is the guy that turned me on to board sports when i was 13...RIP, my friend...

Apr 6, 2007

In the Northwest, Barci is well known for his many passions. Whether it was surfboards, photography, skateboarding, snowboarding, cars, or his work as bike shop owner or salesrep for Seattle Bike Supply, he took on his interests with unbelievable enthusiasm and always at full throttle.

Bob Barci got his start in the bike industry in the early 70's, helping out his good friend and highschool pal Wally Parcels at Sunshine Bicycles on Orcas Island, on the weekends. By 1974, together they opened the first BIKEFACTORY in Lynnwood, which soon introduced their own brand of folding bike; the PortaBike. For the next 20 years, Bob and Wally operated BikeFactory; and made it one of the Seattle area's premiere bike and skate shops during the thriving 80's-selling plastic banana skateboards, urethane wheels and some of the sports' first BMX bikes.

Also during this time, Barci was an instrumental figure in the earliest days of snowboarding in the Pacific Northwest. Back in 1985, the legendary Mt. Baker Banked Slalom race was Bob's brain child (along with Tom Sims). In the 2006 snowboard documentary, titled "Platinum," Barci is interviewed, and displays the swallow-tail and finned boards they duct-taped their feet to back in the day.

In 1995, Barci joined Seattle Bike Supply, where he assisted his customers in more ways than one throughout the next 12 years. In 2002, the "Year of the fold-up alloy Scooter", Bob was awarded the prestigious "Employee of the Year" and "Salesman of the Year" by SBS.

Between his love for work, Barci was actively and constantly involved with the Washington State Ski Patrol and his car club. His collection of Subaru's and a replica AC Cobra have been shown at many car shows around the Northwest.

Bob is survived by his wife Nancy. Friends of Bob have been showing their support and are sharing their best memories on the Bob Barci blog - http://bobbarci.blogspot.com/

snowboarding & climate change

2007-05-15T01:00:26Z

I sat down and booted up weather.com, clicked into the "ski" section and started looking at snow depth all over the US, then the northern hemisphere (Europe etc). This isn't comprehensive, there's a lot of hills that aren't mentioned and Canada doesn't even have any listings on the site, but...

Holy shit. I know it is bad this year, again... and hear it from friends & others about the lack of depth at their local hills, but man it's freaking plain not snowing normally worldwide. Tahoe down south looks like southern California, Maine & Vermont are practically closed, Arizona is basically closed, New Mex too. Utah is barely operating and if you've ever ridden the Bird you'll know that 50" of base is flat scary, Colorado has huge dumps that close Denver's airport for days but the mountains above are sitting on 50" of base instead of 300. France is dry, nothing in Northern Europe and the bears aren't even hibernating in Spain's mountains this year.

My little corner of Washington is pretty much the top snow depth worldwide with my hill at 111" with Mt Baker being a little deeper than 49 is. I've been reading about climate change since the early 80s and being an old surfer was always a weather-watcher type trying to figure out what storm in New Zealand was going to send me waves. The poo-poo types that work for Exxon saying that it's all bullshit and spending millions to convince people it isn't happening, and I'm really starting to wonder if what we do in winter is going to become a dead form of play soon. I know hills that have closed, low elevation places that just don't get enough snow anymore, and now I'm seeing higher elevation lifts having the same problems.

Are we fucked? Have we fucked the planetary climate balance enough that we've hit the tipping point and all the feedback loops inherent in our weather patterns are going to end our ability to find joy bombing fluff through the trees soon?

Yesterday I took my neighbor's fifth grader up and got her going. She figured out "falling leaf" and was starting to point and go then snap to her backside edge to slow down, she got it and by the end of the day was going pretty dang fast on #1 lift (even started not falling on her butt getting off). She loved it, and I just created another boarder babelet and I'm wondering if she'll be able to find enough snow in a few years to keep riding. Hell, I've got a new grand-daughter that I'm supposed to be putting on a board in about five years (yeah, they sure make little boards for the kiddies nowadays) and will I get to do that even?

Just a rant, just a worry, and I'm sitting here under cloudy skies with snow due tonight. I'm happy that I'm getting powpow days, and am being bummed that so many riders I know are sitting around not wanting to go up to their hills and get hurt trying to ride rock-filled crap that's only 20" deep. I've got friends in NorCal that are heading this way soon...

It's scary. And here's a link to something I read this morning:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/01/science/01climate.html?_r=1&ref=washington&oref=slogin

Wishing all who read this that the snow comes to you soon this new year.

End of the Season Questions

2007-04-16T19:48:39Z

Well, it's over. Took the last lift up today at 3:59 to ride the last run of mashed potatoes in 45'F temperature except when the cloud/fog rolled over (it did that all day) and dropped it five degrees instantly. Still a bunch of base on top but starting to dirt out at the bottom...

So how many days did everyone ride?

What was your best day to make you smile thinking back on it this summer?

Deepest powder day?

Buy a season pass for next year?

49North in their last week of operation, April 2-8, is giving FREE PASSES to anybody that comes up. Sponsored by Toyota (figures, eh?), so if you happen to be in the area come make turns...

About 110" of base on top now, freezing overnight still but it's melting with spring gooshy conditions most of the day. That wax-ever-night kind of riding! The terrain park is fast slumping into mounds so I don't know if that's going to last much longer.

Hey, how many other places lets people ride for free the last week? I think it's pretty cool for a hill to do this. See ya!

The Dumbest Bonehead Move

2007-03-16T04:18:31Z

Okay, I've taught both my neighbor and his fifth grader to ride this year. He's been up four time with me, serious teaching mode and he's linking "s" turns without too much wobble on the frontside on both hardpack and the wonderful two powder days he's been on. Very good sense of balance & control and I've been impressed. He's having way too much fun. Yesterday he went up with a friend of his who rides a little better but not much, for his fifth day on the hill. Remember this: FIFTH day on a snowboard.

I've taken his daughter up four times also though she hasn't quite got to linking backside & frontside yet. She's totally stoked and she'll be back up this weekend for her fifth day riding.

Now for the dumbest fucking thing I can imagine anyone doing on a board...

At the end of the day yesterday he and his buddy were on the way down, last run to the lodge and of course leg burn etc, and got a hair up their butt to go into the terrain park. No, I'm not shitting you. He launched one of the little kickers, butt slid himself of course, and then got up and kept going having decided that he could make the next one (his friend also was jumping off the damned things doing the crash & burn). He then proceeded to fly off one of the big ones with a 20 foot lateral air needed just to clear the flat top, landed on his head and broke his neck.

I kid you not. Fracture of the C-7. I got a call from the manager (they sell my gear on the hill and everybody knows me & that I've been teaching my neighbors) at 4:30 to let me know they were evac'ing him to the hospital. I spent last night babysitting their little ones while his wife & mom headed to Spokane where the local hospital transferred him. Supposedly it's not considered too "serious" and is a stable fracture but he's got 50% loss of feeling in his left arm at this point and what is called "hot forearm" by the specialists. Probably tissue swelling causing that. Hopefully.

His comment to the doctors? "Guess this means I can't go snowboarding any more this season." And yeah, he should be up & riding by next winter.

Anybody else with bonehead moves to report???

The models look good for some snow this wednesday. 12 - 24". If it comes the woods will finally be in order. It has been a long, long wait. I hope it happens.

I have butter-flys just thiking about it.

You can "get through" the woods now, but it's a gamble, it's boney, and easy to get hurt. More snow will be the fix. Can't wait.

Ride Tunes

2007-01-17T00:33:46Z

I ride with tunes, always have. Back in the eighties it was a walkman and mixed tapes, then a diskman (which actually improved my riding, making me smoother so the disk wouldn't skip), and now I have an iPod. I love the iPod.

I like to listen to a lot of different things depending on the conditions and terrain. Some of my favorites are Seal, Incubus, Leftover Salmon, Henry Barber, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, and Jamiriqui. There are many others of course.

What are some of your favorites?

Never Summer Titan vs. Donek Wide?

2007-01-12T06:35:02Z

I spent a lot of time last year researching what board to buy, and had my choice narrowed down to a Donek, most likely their Wide, since I have size 11.5 feet. But the Never Summer folks had a demo day at Bogus Basin (45 mins from me) and I went up and tried a Titan 169, and nearly immediately fell in LOVE with it. I had never ridden a board with so much dampening, nor with such torsional rigidity! The thing felt like a Cadillac cruising down the choppy groomers, and I rode faster and felt more in control than I ever had on a snowboard. WOOT!

With the 169 length, it was a bear in tight trees, but for big mountain open groomer and choppy stuff it was a DREAM.

That said, I changed my mind from the Donek. However, after a season of thinking about it (and riding my crappy old beat up Burton Canyon 162) I am wondering if maybe I was too quick to be sucked into the massive damping of the Titan. Anyone ridden both these boards, who cares to comment?

thanks!

Other recommendations I've seen are for the Ride Kashmirs, but I don't know if those are still around either..
What are some of the stiffest girl's boards out there? And if to get a guy's board, then what's a good width
stiff board for girls?

Snowing in Vermont

2006-10-21T20:13:24Z

It rained hard most of the day. Then, about three o'clock, it changed over to snow. It's been dumping huge fat flakes ever since (it's 6:30 now). My car was covered coming out of work. The ground was covered, traffic was slow, my defroster doesn't work. But it's snowing. Hard.

I know it won't stick, but it sure is good to see.

I'm going to go roll around with my snowboards.

What a winter!!!

2006-04-17T04:06:32Z

I feel so blessed to live in the mountains. Although it is spring now down here in the valleys with green grass and flowers, the winter wonderland still exists and it's only a 20 minute drive from town. Yep, the snow has been piling up at the hill with another metre this past week. Unfortunately it's Whitewater's last weekend, not due to any lack of snow. The end of an epic season of powder and the shredding of it with screaming, grinning friends. Wow. I know of no other feeling of supreme elation and joy that quite parallels the feeling I get from cutting through fresh, bottomless light Kootenay powder. The rush of floating through the trees on the pillows of snow and then flying through the air over a fat roller, landing in an explosion of fluff, and ripping on. I #@%$*&'n LOVE it!!! I send a big shout out to all my brothers and sisters who know this feeling and love the winter to ride the snowy mountains. We are truely lucky. Here's to a great season and now... Bring on the sun!!!! Cause hey, summer is great too.

we'll be on skins, but not averse to a bit of technical climbing if it means better exposure. She Tele's, I snowboard. We are both experienced backcountry travelers and I used to guide, so we're not newbies. We've just never been to Colorado, but at $200 round trip from VT we couldn't say no.

X-Games...uhh, yeah, that avertising thing...

2006-02-08T16:08:25Z

Who here feels that the x-games have exploited our sport for too long now? I went to the games in the summer of 1996. It was real, it was amazing, the banners were not covered in mountain dew advertising. Who feels that they are sometimes fixed? like Tony Hawk winning best trick 45 mins after the event was over and a winner already declared. Sure, Tony did some amazing, Earth shattering moves, but come on. Did we all seem to forget that Tony was about to release a new game around the same time? It is all publicity and advertising. Would you be so quick to be the game if Bucky or someone else won the event? Probably not, just goes to show the power of manipulation and how almost anything can be bought nowadays. Tony, if you are reading this, please forgive me, you are amazing, I know you are the greatest snakteboarder ever to shred, but this is how I feel. Same thing for the wonter games, which is what I originally meant to go on. Funny how Kelly Clark won the Women's Superpipe, but we all know that she is going to Turino very soon for an even bigger event. I can see stoking her up for it, and she should win, hell, she is one of the most bad ass riders ever, but does anyone else see the superficiality of this event?

i also just recovered from spinal fusion surgery and am trying to be slightly cautious about hitting the slopes. any advice regarding recovering from injury??? hahaha? because of this injury i'll most likely be taking it easy on park but would love a board that will be versatile as i get better. help! -cari

Any info on European ski/snowboard resorts?

2006-01-12T20:50:44Z

I'm finally getting my act together and taking a trip to Europe to board and visit my friend. Just wanted to start my search and figured someone on here might be able to recommend a resort/area or point me to a good internet resource on the subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
