You are a sick indvidual, but I don' t mean that in a bad way.....

I had been watching a few carvers at my local resort for a few seasons, and I thought " man that looks really cool, maybe I should give that a try" . At the end of last seaon, I went to ebay, and after several attempts, I was able to get outfitted for a couple hundred bucks. I have pretty much outgrown my begginer board and bindings, (Rossi 159, Burton plates) and am in the process of upgrading. What I have found to be the coolest thing about carving, are the carvers themselves. This site is amazing, no attitudes or pretentions, and plenty of great advice. A big thanks to all of you veterans, keep posting, and thanks to Pete, Derek, and Pat for all of the help with my carving. See you in aspen at ses, mario

just me on fri the 18th

I agree with skategoat. In colarado we are blessed with several non destination resorts that sell season passes for under $300 a season. I vote with my bucks by supporting the little guy as often as I can.

Stommit v., usually happens when a skier,snowboarder, biker ect commits to a line, then chickens out at the last possible second, usually resulting in a most hienous faceplant. A combination of stopping and committing ex."I was going to drop that ledge, but I stommited " By the way,does this look broken?

I think I am 10 or 11 so far this season, my first as a carver
