Wonderful! I'll be making a ski/family trip to Colorado in the coming weeks and then it's all the WI hills possible. We'll definitely be making trips to Granite Peak and Bohemia (season pass even comes with a season pass to a small CO hill so lucky me!) I'll be sure to hit everyone up when we know we'll be on mountain. :)

So the hubs and I just moved to Milwaukee from Denver and I just want to get a feel for the scene out here. Haven't hit the slopes here yet but we have our slalom boards for the smaller hills. Granite peak seems like the largest mountain within a couple hours drive but we were going to forgo a season pass anywhere and just sample the hills as it were. So...rollcall?

Oh yeah me too! I remember pretty vividly too... Was just starting to get the feel for higher speed carves...next thing I know is I'm flying through the air xD But hey if you aren't crashing you aren't learning right?

I'm interested in the board and possibly the plates too. What weight range is it designed for?

Because I have the Winter Park pass :P I liked Breck a lot too. It's been a while since I've been to Keystone

For powder days out here in Colorado I rock these bad girls http://www.deeluxe.com/products/empire-lara/ They are super stiff for soft boots but I can rage them in the trees (which is all I do on powder days). I could probably put my hardboots on my AM and be just fine but all the bumps, jumps, and terrain would kill my feet by the end of the day, so I opted to just get stiff soft boots. They're also stiff enough that I can still lay down some trenches when I get to the bottom of the trails and have to cruise the catwalks or take a blue to traverse the mountain. My main limiter of my carving in these is my board (Salamon Maiden) I usually trench it until I fold the nose and then back it off from there. I have the blessing of midget feet too so no matter my stance I don't get "boot out"
