Yeah, I will go with farmers over noaa this year, and say some prayers that the storehouses of snow will be opened.

I hope you are right. I'm up here in WA, and well, NOAAs forecast does not look so good.

here is some info from NOAA Dec-Jan-Feb temperature Dec-Jan-Feb precipitation their next series looks even worse for the NW Jan-Feb-Mar precipitation more here http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/two_class.php

Its that time again. Get your boards ready. Many of the NW resorts have their first snow.

I would suggest a Winterstick ST. Stiff flex, large radius, holds a edge on anything, and will plow through whatever you throw at it. They are built out of Wagner Custom factory so build quality is very high. I've ridden the 166 for 3 years and love it.

My hjc sits fairly close to my face compared to the giro, and I have fallen on my face with out problems.

I have the hjc ac-x3, great helmet fits my head, works with goggles, not too heavy, and warm enough. http://www.hjchelmets.com/ I would say fit is most important thing to look for.

Winterstick is made by www.wagnerskis.com/ for 07-08 so quality should be top notch. I got the 166 ST from 04-05 and its a great ride. nice and stiff, damp, carves anything i can through at it.

That’s a great idea. Kinda like the power strap on ski boots. I might have to rig something like that up.

You should try a different shop and see if you can try to find a different brand that fits snugly. Each brand will have a different head shape, you just need to find the one that works for you. I like my hjc AC-x3, if full faced is the way you want to go, they also have open face motorcycle helmets you can try. One nice thing about motorcycle helmets is they tend to have less difference between sizes so it is easier to find a good fit.

It's snowing in northern Seattle and mountain passes could get an foot of snow overnight. Mount baker is set to open 11/29 Thursday.

looks good, would want it with a bigger sidecut.

I use the HJC AC-X3 and it fits well. The face protector is close to the face and I have had no trouble with it catching. It has a endent along the back that keeps the goggle strap in place. The liner & ear flaps are removeable so I can wash them.

donek 07/08 is up http://www.donek.com/index.htm "And we're working on more... A true-blue Soft Boot Carver has been on a lot of riders' wish lists for a while now and we're deep in development of the perfect board for everybody who yearns to rip up the groom in soft boots. More to come.." Something like the prior atv with the donek touch??? <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

freeskier mag got some picts on I-70 in CO from 9/17 http://freeskier.com/freeskier/news.php?news_id=1187

May this matter be behind you and many blessings befall to you. I'm just waiting on the word to start the celebration. The CAD USD exchange rate being 1:1 or worse really sucks, I've been eyeing a Prior ATV, and to get one how I want it would be at least $1,000 which is a bit much for me.

<st1><st1>Crystal</st1><st1> Mountains</st1></st1> web site states that they got their first trace of snow 9/23. The leaves are changing here too.

I run +28/+15 19" and that works well.

I read in a prior post that they were heavily self insured<o></o>

anyone know if this is related to the 14 million settlement aginst Snoqualmie "the resort's new owners plan to invest heavily in capital improvements in the coming years, including replacing old chairlifts.":biggthump

Draft your path down the slope has the most potential, the layout is great and I like how the specs are listed. I would kill drafting analogy misinformation I like the precision driven bit though and work in the pict in from ultimate tool for laying tracks. I would go with the ultimate tool for laying tracks if modifications are not possible. it has the best pict of snowboarding. and change the top pict.

You might want to disinfect the usb cable with bleach first before you stick it in your nose. You know going straight from the arse to the nose is a bad idea, you could get sick.

I support your stance. Height will affect the length chosen for the board.

yea they kept pushing back the date now it is 02/2009 or bust
