www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Recent post made me stop and think. A 5 mm "T-Handle" allen. Skimpy lacy stuff (for the young ladies and the aspre parties of course:eplus2: Big Smile and confidence. Camera. WITH FRESH BATTERIES! Kind attitude. Extra cell phone batteries Spare boot parts. You get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Duct tape. A million uses, most half-assed but it'll get you through better than if you didn't have it. Zip ties. See duct tape reasoning. Small baggies for misc. hardware and sandwiches. Folding hex keys so you don't stab yourself when you crash. Leave the T-handle in your hotel/car/bag. Credit card and/or cash for the inevitable 'find'. Boot dryer. Yeah, it stinks up that room but it's still worlds better than boots that have been worn wet for a week. Small packs of laundry detergent. Finding them at a resort can be hard or pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Assuming you're talking at least a weekend event : Ibuprofen. Never leave home without it. A 40 of your favourite vice, and your best hangover cure. Your best bikini, for the hot tub (preferably a new one, in honour of the occasion). A killer pair of jeans, a nice black top and your best boots. A few good friends. A cute snowboarding outfit (Two Ravens has the market cornered on this!) Things girls don't have to bring because boys always have them : Tools. Spare parts. A longer board - which you'd love to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyagt4 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 In my backpack I carry; Leatherman Paracord Gaffers tape Wire tires, good ones with the metal tab Band-Aids Extra binding screws Couple of hand warmers Radio, FRS/GMRS. They aren't much but it's better than shouting sometimes. Advil Munchies Waters Bic lighter, never know when you want to set stuff on fire! I'm sure I'm forgetting something...

bjvircks Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 A good whistle! in addition to all the other stuff. Good for alerting others if you get trapped or hung up. Also good if you just want to be a traffic cop in the lift line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Donnelly Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 A good whistle! in addition to all the other stuff. Good for alerting others if you get trapped or hung up. Also good if you just want to be a traffic cop in the lift line. I usually ride with a PLASTIC "storm" whisitle; metal could get stuck to one's lips if as cold as in recent days. A 4mm Allen T-wrench OR phillips head screw driver to secure heels. If riding with Intec/FinTec heels, I'll travel with a spare cable.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Bacon....just in case:1luvu: Did I just use "Bacon" as a verb? That kills me.

bigdyno Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Corey, don't forget the ziploc for your phone.... and I always bring bacon with me. Oh, don't forget extra camera memory, especially if you can't dump your pictures every day. I have a bad case of bring two of everything. So I do. It would suck to miss time on the snow but for a something you left at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
