I sent the frontside glade next to Wild Katz at Stevens this morning in the rain. The snow was cold to start from resort base until the ridge of Big Chief Mountain where I really felt the saturated snow & the inversion.
today was day 2 on my new ride (Burton Freebird 162w SparkR&D Blaze binding); it was worth the $$$Its changing my snowboarding! Splitboards are the future! I'm riding this weekend I think. PM me.

I was up at stevens today with d.benton... also, bought a pass. Im super excited. Tresnow, I cant this weekend but if ya every wanna get an early run in at Heather Meadows and take the afternoon at Stevens let me know!

If anyone wants to hit up Stevens, let me know. I have each weekend day, every other friday off and can usually make room on occasional week days...

50 days or bust!

after seeing the coverage yesterday im willing to head up to stevens and ride big chief chair then skin up under double diamond lift to access southern cross. i really want to see backside and then skin back onto the front side under jupiter chair maybe

i could go monday or thursday this week. i would rather pick a nice clear day so monday may be a better option.

^^Looks awesome!

Karakorams make my board so much lighter and damn it feels better than it being a solid board and standard bindings

End of the World Tour!

Dec 21-23 Tilly Jane Cabin, Mt Hood

Looks like you can start reservations 12/5

If the cabin doesn't work out. I'm still rolling tarp city, Oregonista style. :guinness:

Sounds like a fine way to kick off the winter season and celebrate the winter solstice.

Anyone want to car pool down for the end of the world tour? The Tilly Jane makes a great base camp and CR is good people.

I am looking to get out this Thursday and Saturday, anyone want to t00r?
