I use Oakley Canopy. I have 2 pairs both with prism lenses, and have never had significant issues. If its super cold I might get a bit of fog on my glasses, but that goes away fast. I wear Oakley glasses too, so not sure if that makes a difference.

Hey I have been out the last 4 weekends with my kids on our softies. Excellent conditions on what was open. they are using mapmaker for training during the week, so its in top form as long as its groomed. Still limited terrain, though I read they are opening silver on Saturday, which would likely only be homesteader down. Crowds have been ok, as long as you stick to gold. Homesteader is full of the usual Jerry's, so hopefully with silver open, it keeps a few more of them off of gold.

Hey I haven't used that before, are you guys talking about the pocket puck? I was wondering if that was any good.

I messaged the ad, and they replied that someone else was going to look at the set up on Monday, and if not they would let me know. Hopefully its someone else from here that scoops it.

I was out there for the PM today, saw a brave soul on a Kessler I believe (I was on my softies). Just Mapmaker open today, with upload/download on Olympic. It wasn't very busy, but I suspect when I am out there with my kids tomorrow it will be nuts. Snow was the usual groomed/manmade, though pretty rutted/icy/choppy from all the race training. Hopefully its groomed tonight. Anyway, It wasn't amazing, but it sure beat spending the afternoon at work.
And yes, you can reload your pass online if you had one last year (at least that's what I did)

I got a 166 Pantera (not wide) at the end of last season on clearance, and it kicks a@#. I highly recommend it but I have only ridden it once (then switched to my rock board for the end of the year). I should say that I am a big fan of Nitros in general, but was super impressed with this board. 12 boot, 210lbs.

I haven't been there in years, and almost went this year. I was regretting not going until I read your post. Thanks, that helps me make the decision next year! (Oddly that's how I remember it about 20 years ago as well)

Imprint 3x? I was under the impression that these were not heat moldable. But I also found them incredibly uncomfortable. I swapped them out for something different.
I thought they were but I could be mistaken. I will have to do more research as I thought I had read that they were moldable by a Burton dealer.. Mold able or not, following your lead and swapping them might be the better option anyway. And thanks for the info!

Hey I haven't heat molded a liner before, and am thinking of doing my Driver X liners - for my softie setup - as I find them slightly uncomfortable (I'm 99% sure they are heat moldable lol). Would this method also work for them? Thanks in advance!

I second the Apex recommendation. I just got back from 3 days there, and it was EPIC. Super steep, with 20 cms fresh the last day. Luckily I was with a guy who rides there all the time, on that hill a little local knowledge goes a long way. Though it might be smaller than some of the other hills around, it more than makes up for it in terrain and atmosphere.

Hey I looked at the Nakiska website earlier and it looked like everything was open. Here's hoping it stays that way!

Sent you a PM

They totally helped me out last year with some bindings. Great people, service and products.

I was up there with my kids on Sunday, soft bootin it. The conditions on Sunday seem better than Saturday, it was actually pretty good. Mapmaker was in mid season form I would say. They usually (or at least used to) blow this run first so it could be used for pre-season training, I am thinking that they still do that and open it to the public on the weekends to catch some more revenue. We didn't check out the glades (my boys are 7 and 9), but it looked like there was lots of snow elsewhere up top. It was super crowded on the one run, but lots of fun and no rocks. I wouldn't be comfortable on plates in that type of crowd, but I did see someone leaving with a carving board as we got there at noon. It certainly met (and probably exceeded) my expectations for getting a few turns in on the first weekend in November.

Hey I sent you a PM about the bindings. Thanks!
Best over glasses goggles?
