Yeah, I hear that sort of criticism all the time.

then maybe you should go ahead and take a hint and not do this.

It’s bunk really, it takes a whole lot more than a map to get out into the backcountry. What it does is makes it safer for those of us who have the skills and abilty to get out…

awesome, just what the area needs: more people, and more people who know the good spots….killer idea…

i will probably be there….

so is that LeTigra or Blue Steel?

hate to shut down the stoke, but i can see Hood, Adams, and Helens all from my place here in PDX and they are all just as brown as they were before the recent precip.

Yo Jack! Gonna be at T-Line tomorrow for some lift serve. You gonna be around?

Or anybody else for that matter? I’ll be leaving this evening and making the usual stops at the Rat and Charlie’s.

damn dude, this is like the first time i have been at sb.com in like a month and i miss your post by a weekend. oh well, come on down…[Read more]

I moved to Portland last week for a design engineering job. My new job is a in a sea of cubes staring at a computer all day, but hey, if Snoslut can do it, I figure it can’t be that bad.

For me Portland was a slight downgrade in backcountry snowboarding relative to the variety of the greater Seattle area (where I also had a few job offers). With…[Read more]

hey guys, just saw this thread. haven’t been checking things out here lately because i have been crazy busy moving to Portland.

Anyway, i live in Portland now, so if anyone meets up in the area for riding, going out for a drink, or wants to crash at my place, let me know.

right on guys, bummer i couldn’t make it out there looks like an awesome trip. Boston is pretty rad, I have been here all week. i might even throw down a little TR. hopefully there will be some pow when i get back next week.

right on. which resort is that?

Keep both and move out of Mass. so you can use them.

haha, now there is some good advice!

bcr- what is that 125 x 167 BS? hello no 😉

mumbles, use any of these, just host them on your own photobucket, because i wont keep them on mine forever.

you can also resize images with photobuckets online software. if the kids who use Myspace can figure it out, i am sure you can too… 😆

i have a picture earlier in this thread. although i have added a NS legacy since then (sick) and………a pair of alpine skis…….(tele was too hard) 😉

ok, what is up this the lack of skis in everyone pictures? i know you guys with all those boards also have skis. what? embarrassed? 😛

is the contest for TRs just form this season? if not, things might get a little cray-zay

i probably should stay out of this because i weigh so much less than you…..but……if you only have one board (why?) a 171 seems pretty big for something you need to ride in all conditions. with that said, one of my splits is a 171 😉 my resort boards are a 154 and a 159-wide though.

images like these examples would really help:

can you color the parts different colors in Solidworks and make and exploded view? i am having trouble following your deign. maybe a step-by-step would help as well. not only would it help me, but if you are trying to attract investors, technical monochrome drawings are not going to do it.

i hate to rain on your parade, because i know how much…[Read more]

good points about making the HC look good JimW.

one thing i found in making the difference between good and bad HC footage is you need something “on you” in the shot. this works well for skiers because they can usually get their hands and poles in the shot. also good with mountain biking because it is easy to get the handlebars or forks in there.…[Read more]
