Looks like there are a lot of nice lines in that beautiful bowl! That couloir in the first picture looks rather gnarly though. Hope you get published and look forward to reading the article and updates on the “epic incident”, and yes, what kind of backpack is that?!

Do you have any ideas how we can find people with snowmobiles (sleds?) who would be interested in taking us in to bc to ride?

Hi Bruce, Generally we don’t want to go to the same place all the sledders are heading to, and a lot of snowmobiles don’t work too well for carrying passengers (at least not off the groomed trails). The sleds we use…[Read more]

Do you worry about the tie-downs vibrating in the wind on the highway, cutting themselves on the board edges, and having splits fly down the highway?

The tie-downs never seem to fray and the boards stay in the slots quite well even without the tie-downs (just the bungee cord), but we always make sure they are secured with the tied-downs before…[Read more]

Great pictures, looks like the dogs are having just as much fun!

Hey Wyomingsplit, glad you liked the photos. I posted a separate thread about the snowboard rack on the Talk forum so you can check it out there.

I asked the same question a while back on this forum. One suggestion which I tried was Rainx and found it helped a bit but the effect doesn’t last long, and there was still some snow sticking. I think waxing the topsheet to fill in all the rough spots, and keeping it polished, is probably the best thing to do.

You’re right bcrider, he did say tracks only so I’ve taken the one picture out as it spoils the thread. We’ll save the idea of deciphering the picture behind the tracks for a future thread. This thread did get me started thinking about tracks and the ones I like (to make) the most, which is another interesting topic too!

Surprising how few pictures I have of just tracks without their maker(s). I guess the focus (pun intended) is generally on the rider, but the tracks can tell a story.

I know I’ll be thinking some more about this theme next time I’m out, so thanks for the concept!

A nice concept powderjunkie, and a nice picture too. I have a question, when you say “snowboard tracks only” do you mean no ski tracks? or, no snowboarder(s) in the picture, just the track(s)? ❓
