It would definetly be really cool to spend some time on the fresh powder slopes of sunny Vail.
But unfortunatly, i am only a student. A poor student.
Oh well, maybe i'll win the lottery
Or i can always find a rich woman

Super-de-duper!!!
I didn't think there would be many boarders out there, but man was I wrong. Of course, GTP redefines your everyday forum everyday.
I personally snowboard and have been doing so for 10 years. I also have been teaching for 8 of those 10. I could give a pointer or two to those interested. My favorite place to go is definitely Whistler/Blackcomb. One area there, name 7th Heaven, is just that, HEAVEN!. The snow is a beautiful 3 foot powder, with an amazing silk texture to it. In a bowl out there, I hiked to it of course, I dropped off an 80 ft cliff, and so far that is the best I have ever done. I estimated the height using a protractor and a ruler, then used the law of sines to figure it out. I know that doesn't sound right. "Dude, just dropped off this killer cliff and then.... Mathmatically theorized it's estimated vertical displacement using Newton's law of Sines and a common tape measure and protractor." But, I'm odd, what can I say.

My personal rides are:
Setup 1:
1. 1998 Forum Bjorn Leines special 156
2. Drake F-60 Bindings
3. Burton Custom boots
Setup 2:
1. 2002 Burton Canyon 162
2. Burton Custom FX bindings
3. Burton Ruler boots
Ride 1 has a broken tail from an Egg Flip gone wrong. And for the explanation of the size of my rides, I am 6'3" and I wear a size 13 boot, too big for an ordinary Burton Custom, but I don't mind. I can still do what the little guys can,.

Going snowboarding today and I hope to do something sick, like my misty, without bailing. The snow here has been as crappy as water and really isn't fit for snowboarding.
