yup opening on thursday!! don't worry I'll think of you on my first run down below chair 5 taking drop after drop in pure sex powder. I'm so pumped. Season pass will be bought this week! If anyone's gonna be up there lemme know, I should be there every weekend from now till next May!! :alright

oh yeah and this friday night I'm gettin a few people together to drink some beer, wax and tune our boards, watch snowboard vidoes, and go crazy waiting for it to be saturday. We'll be close to western campus is anyone wants to show up lemme know!

i want to punch you in the face right now....

we(my roommates and I) go almost every weekend ... we bbq on the mtn and everything ... let me know how much the pass is ill prolly get one this year im kickin myself in the ass for not gettin one last year

:bash sorry man. Yeah last year was one of the best years baker's had IMO.
'99 was good but there was so much snow nothing was steep enough any more. Passes are expensive!! They're like $550 for students I think? And $600 for adults. But it's nearing $50 a day to go up there so it doesn't take that long to pay it off! I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this winter, but I'm not too picky. as long as there's enough snow to get moving I'll be there! :buttrock

Timberline and Bach are opening this weekend too! but Meadows roads are all destroyed, They're closed on both sides due to slides.

looking forward to a good year in the northwest!

Hopefully the highway up to Baker is open, last weeks flooding caused a lot of damage and there was talk of closing it. Might be going up there Friday if it doesn't warm up and rain tonight/tomorrow.

MANN I got a season pass for Meadows (mt hood) but I have to wait a few weeks to a month!! All this rain took out both roads...and the road to <st1:City w:st="on">Bend</st1:City> <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Oregon</st1:State></st1:place>, that’s 8 solid miles of landslide, so no way to get to the park!! GAHHHH

It was nice up there. Little too sunny and it began to give the snow that icy feel. But there were some nice areas of good powder.

White Pass opened this weekend, limited runs. Hope to hit the hill sat. after thanksgiving. Have season pass. I buy mine in the spring, they go for half price. Don't know about other areas, but you guys should check into it. I only need to go 6 times to break even, then we will work on the dollar runs.

yeah sorry here's the pics. the third one i'm filling it with tpex, but as soon as that dried it cracked, so i have a feeling it's gonna fall out as soon as i ride on it again.

1bad m3

11-20-2006, 12:29 PM

just a lil recomendation.. im no expert but if it was me ... i would get some rough grit sand paper 200-400 and try sanding it to a nice taper then ptexing it try at your own risk... just my $.02 on what i would do

turbodefrost

11-20-2006, 04:00 PM

yeah that's probly a good plan. I've got a buddy who makes snowboards who might help me replace that section with a new base. It's an Option Kevin Sansalone pro model 165 wide with Ride Mig bindings

11-21-2006, 06:22 PM

im goin for an option 158 this year =]

1bad m3

11-21-2006, 07:05 PM

hummm so i have narrowed down my choices for this year...

1. burton custom x
2. m4 gt pro
3. lib tech magne traction
all in the 152-156 range...

hummmmmm i dunno which one yet

im getting the ride spi bindings no matter what board

turbodefrost

11-21-2006, 08:33 PM

get 1 or 3. i'm kindof a libtech bias cause they're made right by us and i know a few poeple who work for them

Any hook up on price... its not cheap like 550

i was actually leanin towards the m4 ... because i ride a m3 now (bought out and became m4) and i love it ... plus 2 of m4's boards made transworld good wood... i just found a stellar deal on the m4 discord w/ m4 bindings for 400

i went up on saturday. it was sweet. the canyon opened as soon as we got to the top of chair 6, so we got first tracks down sticky wicket. and we built a sweet booter at the top of chair 8, we hit that thing for at least an hour straight.

What a great day. It doesn't get any better than that. wait yes it does... i got my new wheels in and mounted em!!! pics tomorrow!
