How’s it going tahoe splitters? sounds like a nice storm moving in!

I’ve been living in Utah for the last several years, learned splitboarding there, but recently moved to the bay area. hoping to get some BC days in this season, but with a new job and being a new dad, my days may be limited.

anyway, just thought i would check in and stoke this…[Read more]

Picked up a Mojo 166 this year, and gotta say, I love it! Riding in powder is very smooth, fast, and the float is apparent from the tapered shape. Have not challenged it in icy/hardpack terrain, but i imagine it will ride well. Tours really well, i can notice the difference in weight (from the Mtn Gun).

I’m 5’8″, about 165 lbs, and i usually…[Read more]

Nothing exciting to report. Went up pink pine ridge to about 9K. snow was stable, turns up top were good, the exit was…as you can guess….bushy.

Thanks Stagger Lee and UTAH. Be safe out there!
Iffy on tomorrow, Wed definitely. I’ll report what i see.

Oh trust me UTAH, if i was getting out, i would be posting too. Life has a way of keeping me indoors lately :banghead: (yes, me too Wasatch Surf. Sucks, doesn’t it!?).

BUT, white out condition in the valley and even the wizard talking 14″ has me thinking tomorrow and wednesday are mandatory days for fresh mountain air and a little…[Read more]

Sugoi!!!!
Saiko desu. arigato!

Jeezus. have not been up there since mid-november….are we totally FUBAR if a decent sized storm comes in? how long till the crust/rime is buried and out of the way, so to speak? guess it all depends on how the new snow comes in…just asking rhetorically and rambling
:guinness:

thanks for the update UTAH.

just curious, anyone go up today?

sorry, and the link:

PSA: Venture divide on ebay, but its a 181. 2 days left. probably too big for the OP.

WOW Great Stoke! :thatrocks:

Looks like a great start to the season! I’m actually moving back to the bay area this winter, looking forward to splitting at the lake!

i like snowbasin

Dude, that day was epic! “Best first day ever!” ha ha ha, that’s for UB.
:poke:

looking forward to round 2, thanks for posting these.

I was reading your post. Im guessing the storm on Oct 10th didnt deliver enough? Or are some brave souls going out this early? Let us know what this one brings.
Some of us are watching the Sierra, with snow over last weekend and more for today, but I think we wil need another couple of storms

i was debating on going up after the…[Read more]

drool.

how’s the heat and fan noise? anyone have their hands on one yet?

wow first post in a long time for me, and here it goes.

Lew, you are spot on. this is the reality. december will be grim, consumer spending way down– will force many businesses into the red for the year, forcing a tail spin on global economy, no more chinese trinkets, no more black monday, DOW will be below 4000 sometime next year. too much…[Read more]

Skinning was good, no difference. But once I straped in to ride it i noticed right away how stiff it was. It took a bit of effort to turn. Not nearly as buttery smooth as my Unity. I didn’t say anything to my buddy but when he first got on mine he said WOW now thats what I’m talking about. We rode the whole couloir and I figured…

last season, i went up the canyon with a friend that i don’t tour with often. i was trying to get somewhere new, so i was doing a little route finding and he was skinning behind–silent the whole way up. i was thinking i was bumming him out.

anyway, we get back to the car, and we’re rolling downhill, and he tells me that he made some mary jane…[Read more]

I’ve lived in SLC for 4.5 years now and i honestly like it.

The first 2 requirements are satisfied. Definitely good mountains for skiing and biking within an hour’s drive. In addition, a ~4+ hour drive brings you to the outdoor playground of southern utah where the biking and climbing gets really incredible (as if the wasatch was in any way…[Read more]
