st_lupo Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 A perfect season end. The snow was still pretty good, but rain and warm temps will kill that this wee and the hill closes next saturday. Snuck out of work early on friday and biked up to the hill, then I took an early saturday morning ride today. Hardly any people, pleasent weather, and about 30cm of fresh snow, Nice! Now I’ve cleaned all of our sticks and packed them away. MTB forks and shocks are on the way back from service. Anybody else hanging up for the season, and is it on a high note? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPZ North America Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 NEVER! Well, at least not yet. PC and Brighton still going strong, plus many others in Utah and Colorado. By the way, great looking tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWM Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 (edited) Still got another month to go I expect. Uncrowded runs and firm morning snow make spring prime carving season. Edited April 7 by TWM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warmest winter here in 150 years of record keeping. A mediocre season that has ended brilliantly with one storm delivering more snow than we received all winter.

Kneel Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 I've been done since the last week of February. Work sucks. Weather sucks. Only 32 days this season which I s'pose ain't bad, but well below my average. Bring on the golf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Job Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 I'm so glad I don't have to snowboard. It's starting to feel like a job. I'll probably snowboard on Tuesday. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortcutToMoncton Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Two weeks ago today. Earliest season in a while. Spent three hours at the pump track with the kids today, biking has arrived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aracan Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I have been done for over a month now. The season was a combination of very little snow and bad timing. I got all of two days (albeit perfect ones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workshop7 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 My family and I will likely squeeze out a few more weekend visits to Killington. They always milk the season for every last day they can. I'm not a big fan of the snow this time of year. I have so many friends that are all about spring skiing. Not me. It's a completely different sport for a carving snowboarder. Don't get me wrong, I do love the warm weather apres ski hang on the deck of the lodge with a beer in my hand. However, when the snow has turned to mashed potatoes I'm aiming for that beer after only a few runs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafcadio Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I’m squeezing every last bit of snow out of this season. My local hill has been closed for more than two weeks but the snowpack is holding (the rain coming tomorrow may put an end to that). I’ve been skinning up on the splitboard for some post-season runs. Even today I was able to find fresh lines which haven’t been touched yet I’ll likely head to Okemo this weekend and then maybe Stowe before it’s over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hug Masso Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 (edited) I am totally done, here in the east Pyrinees the weather is more on the summer side for activities than for snowboarding. But motorcycle and mtb season starts, so thats good. Edited April 11 by Hug Masso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 My last day was 2 weeks ago. Last few days were some of the best carving snow of the season, which was a pleasant surprise! Now I'm waiting for street sweeping to clear all the sand off the roads so I can play on the surf skate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on ya. This week I've taken mine to one of the local skate parks to ride the bowls/transitions. For something that feels flowy, it's a quad burner.

Get out there and sweep it yourself. My son and I used to sweep hills for him to longboard DH in the spring before the sweepers came through. Like building trails, "No dig, No ride", just switch dig to sweep. You got this buttercup ink 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 I think you're underestimating the amount of sand used in Winterpeg. A shovel would be more appropriate in some areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
