crucible Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Now that the local ski hills have stopped lift operations for the 06-07 season, I know that many of you are looking at storage prep and waxing for your boards.... FEAR NOT my carving brothers, you don't have to put them all away just yet... keep yer rock board out and join me for a backcountry snowboarding sessions in MAY. I have been backcountry riding the North Shore mountains for the past 18 years, and can show anyone who is interested rideable terrain just out of bounds on Cypress, Grouse, and Seymour mountains. You need to be fit enough to carry your deck and around 20-25 lbs of safety gear for 6-8 hours, but you'll carve spring corn that you never knew existed...

bumpyride Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 How about some details on the Whistler "Spring Pass"? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hey George, I could make other excuses, but the truth is that I'm not fit enough for 8 hours hike in the spring slush :( 70% of my boards are summerized and stored away. I might do another Whistler, and that's about it... Sailing/fishing season already started. Boris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumpyride Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I do have an edge card, so that will pay off if I head on up. Fischer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruwi Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 George, 6 to 8 hours hike uphill in the snow?:rolleyes:, I will die. The season is over for me. I did my last at Whistler last Saturday with my manager from Toronto. I'm very sure I saw Dave doing EC while I was riding the Big Red. That full face orange helmet is an icon. It shines from a distance. ruwi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
