  1. Just want to thank the regulars (the Portland crew) and the other LC.org folks Laurel and I already knew for making our campsite entertaining . . . and to all you we met for the first time, it truly was a pleasure.

     

    Austin, thanks for the ride you gave us on the trail . . . hope the video turns out, and I wish I had brought the camera. Oh well, we'll just wait for Noah to post what he took. :D

     

    A big thanks to the Rallitek crew (specifically Joel, Brydon, Matt, etc) for the company while trying to find the rest of the pack Saturday evening. I had a good time, despite never reaching our destination.

     

    And a huge thanks to Ken and the rest of the event organizers for putting together what I thought was a well-done weekend. As Laurel mentioned, let us know what we can do to help out for next year.

  2. Okay, so I took this photo a couple weeks ago during a trip up to Steven's Pass for some snowboarding.

     

    It's been getting some great fanfare lately. . . from the STi board, to Nasioc, and even from the Australian RS Liberty board . . . so Laurel suggested I submit it for next year's USMB calendar.

     

    If the powers that be would like some fair-weather photos for a non-winter month instead, please let me know. . . I've got a few things I'm doing to the car before summer that should really be something. . . including some track photos from Pacific Raceway once I head down to get my track cert this spring.

     

    Anyway. . . let me know. :D

  3. Understood, Russ. Sorry the conditions up here weren't much better. . . this time last year the resorts were doing great.

     

    Finally got my bindings New Year's Eve, as well. Put them on and spent about an hour tuning them with Joe. Should be ready now. . . but if you're heading back, already . . . well, sound like better snow at Tahoe, anyway.

     

    I can't WAIT to hit the mountain, now!

  4. yeah same situation 6' 200lbs. big feet. my old board was a 157 but wide. new board is a 161 palmer classic. just too narrow. I dont ride parks much so I dont need a trick board. gonna go big I think. wife says thats my gift this year:)

    hey I dont have your number to hook up when we get up there. you want to PM it to me?

    NICE! Snowboard gear would go over very well with me, too!

     

    PM sent, by the way. :D

  5. I had the sinking problem in powder last season. My 159 board just wasn't enough. (5'11" and 210 lbs here) Not to mention my friend (who teaches boarding) set up my bindings for a very aggressive stance. I could tear up any other condition, but deep powder would slow me down so much at times that I couldn't keep going.

     

    Now I've got a brand new Burton Triumph 164. It's longer, wider, and I can set up the bindings for a more optimal all-mountain ride, and I should be able to stay up in deep powder much more easily.

     

    At any rate, the invite for New Year's Eve stands. :)
