I was thinking of trying to do something with Vertigo adventures. The Check-Your Pins Crew highly recommends them, plus it’s pretty darn cheap.http://vertigo-aventures.com/en/Let me know if your interested. XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic East Coast (Vermont) Splitfest in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 7 years, 9 months agoQuick Poll:So it looks like we’ll move the location to a Mountain base (easier logistically), but still want to make sure there is access to quality tours that require splits. Thoughts on Smuggs Vs. Bolton Valley? XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Jeremy Jones giving up big mountain riding? in the forum Boots 7 years, 9 months agoI had the same thought. Was stoked when I saw that he was releasing a boot, then saw the lack of crampon capability, and was bummed. Did some more goggling and it looks like this was just the launching off point to a larger backcountry and splitboard specific line. Good boots are definitely lacking.From thirty-two:“We’ll be building him a f…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic East Coast (Vermont) Splitfest in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 7 years, 9 months ago@Earth Surfing just sent you a message. Definitely sounds like we should put our heads together!-Alex XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic East Coast (Vermont) Splitfest in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 7 years, 9 months agoHey everyone, so this is happening!Right now I can say it’s on for Waterbury (this will give us access to LOTS of great terrain) the weekend of March 13th-15th (when we have the most snow and consistently solid snow conditions). We have some cool sponsors on board (more on that once I lock in some final details), and it should be a blast.I’m…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic East Coast (Vermont) Splitfest in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 7 years, 10 months agoCool thanks for all of the advice and tips. After a busy spring, I’m going to move forward with this, so that we can start promoting when folks are getting powder hungry in the fall, and through out the winter.Good call with reaching out to CTA/VTBC and a gear shop, I’ll do some outreach. Let me know if anyone has any connections.Also, does…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic East Coast (Vermont) Splitfest in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 8 years agoI actually had the same thought about Pinkham Notch. Would be good, but for a lot of the terrain the weather is so finicky up there. March in Vermont, we have a pretty good shot of having good snow in the back country. Also, I figured at the very least if we wanted to get involvement from brands at all for demos etc, It would be right in Burton…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 2 months ago55 dollar lift tickets at Stowe for Vermonters on Monday. Anybody interested in joining? XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 3 months agoAnyone made it over to Big Jay yet? How’s that looking snow wise? I was thinking of heading up and doing some riding at Jay Peak over the weekend, and wanted to make a stop over there.PS let me know if your interested in joining in.-Alex XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 3 months agoWhat a great day! Smuggler, thanks for joining! Can’t wait to get back out there with more snow! Anyone else find any goods from Nika? XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Vermont in the forum Split Partners Wanted 8 years, 3 months agoHey guys,If your new to the area check out this thread: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=15931&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=Northern+Vermont&start=65Good crew of VT regulars/ quality beta on conditions.Also, if your still looking for a split partner, PM me. Happy to meet up and ride with folks. Bolton Backcountry and ADKs tend to be my stomping grounds but…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 3 months agoJust did a quick lap up on Timberline at bolton and it was a little disappointing. That slope has been looking really win scoured and it certainly felt it. Under all the new snow it was pretty rough, and some sheets of pure ice. I’ve actually made better turns up in the Cotton brook area, earlier in the year then I did this afternoon.Going to go…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 4 months agoMan this weather is getting old and it looks like more rain this weekend. Here’s to praying for snow!Fortunately I was able to get out over the weekend before our snowpack got decimated.Was up on timberline at Bolton and it was thin, but rideable and still fun.Sunday I took the split out for a tour up to the Bolton-Trapp trail (I was scoping…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 5 months agoHey guys, I’m looking to get out Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Is anybody in any need of partners? I’m hoping to get in a good day of turns somewhere (recommendations would be helpful)!Also, for those of you still looking for closed slopes to ride. Wilderness and Timberline are still closed at Bolton and It has been pretty fantastic. Definitely…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Building a group for Chic Choc Trip (Feb or March) in the forum Split Partners Wanted 8 years, 5 months agoBump.Chef Ben,If we get enough people who have been before I am definitely down to do with out the guides. I’ve never been so I figured for my first time I would spend the money on guides.Also, I’ve seen your name pop up on a number of different forums about Vermont, any interested in doing some riding in the Smuggs/Mansfield region?-Alex XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 5 months agoKnock on wood it looks like snow is moving in over the weekend. Sunday or Monday could be good. From Jay Peak (I find they usually do a pretty good job with reporting/forcasting): A net gain of 4″+ for the summit by the first lift ride tomorrow, Opening Day!. Snowy weather Saturday morning will turn to mostly cloudy with flurries by afternoon,…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Jackson Wy 2013/2014 in the forum Split Partners Wanted 8 years, 6 months agoUnfortunately, not in the Jackson area, just a pointer on finding partners here. Check out the TR or conditions section for a state or area specific board and chime in their. I’ve found a few splitters to ride with in here in VT that way. Enjoy Jackson (been on my bucket list of places to ride!)-Alex XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 6 months agoOoo Jay looks fantastic. Here’s to hoping the snow holds till the weekend.As far as the split, nothing fancy (I’ve been snowshoeing with my board for years now, and wanting to get a split since college, just the price was holding me back). I wound up finding a 168 Burton S-series, with hardware skins and Burton Custom bindings all for $450.…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 6 months agoYeah I looked into them, but I just don’t have the money to drop on a full course right now, but I don’t want to fly blind either. I figured this would give me enough knowledge to get started here on the east coast, then I’ll save up for a more intensive course when I start to look into trips out west.I made it out on Bolton in the dark just to…[Read more] XCsnowboarderVW94 replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 6 months agoHey Gang,Woke up today to three to four inches of nice fluffy powder on mid mountain Bolton, thinking of trying to get in something tonight or tomorrow AM.
