Would love to get back into it, and it'll probably be my last season on the trusty '06 Artifact with Cartels. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Millcreek Township, UT | | I snowboard a bit. 10 resorts within about an hour from my house. Mostly freeriding, though I have hardbooted a few times. Love open pow and trees as well as groomers. Used to take my chances in the bumps when I was younger. I tend to stay away from the snowpark freestyle crowd.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: the Netherlands, Amsterdam | | Well fill me in about everything there. I hear the snow is very much different than the snow in the alpes. And that the pistes are different too.
EDIT: I'm going here this winter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1CfSpcl5Pg (don't mind the cat at the end of the vid  )
