did you go all the way to the outback? thats where the real powder is most of the time. also think about paying 5 bucks for a cat trip up one of the bowls once you get your legs under you thats where its at!

Nope, but a guy working the lifts told me to check it out. He went up the lift to the other side with us and couldn't stop talking about how cool is job was and how he was livin the dream. Wanted to tell him I'm living the dream too but didn't. hahah He was also talkin about the parties at Lovelands pass, sounded like a good time. Dude whats up with all the chicks throwin their bra's in the tree's? lol I'm use to seeing beads, not bras and the occasional thong. Some wild chicks out here are what?

Went to Keystone for the first time yesterday, first trail I hit on the other side was Bushwacker. Never seen anything this cool in person, not used to the powder or this baller level of skiing, I found my legs giving out a lot. That rarely happened on the bunny slopes back east. haha I was geekin out at my bro wiping out and doing summersaults in the powder. like to think the Flo we were tokin on was keeping me in the game. I was ready to quit after about 4hrs till we smoked, ended up staying close to 8hrs. Shit was intense! I gota get into shape and start doing this as much as possible. The slopes are where its at!

Sounds like a fun day! Keystone can be really fun, that mountain doesnt get much credit. When everywhere in summit county is packed with tourists, keystone is the place to ride if you know where to look. I rode there the first day they ever allowed snowboarding!

evo303-GVR4. Been spooling the 4G63 ever since i got my license. haha One day I'll have an Evo 8 but for now i'm rockin the old school Evo, they just called it a galant back then.

Summitoker- Dude it might have been the best day of my life! lmao I got an idea of the mountains last winter when I checked out Lovelands Pass but this winter already topped that yesterday with Keystone. I about shit myself when I saw the trail on the right that looks like its 2 miles long and goes straight down. It looked like there were big jumps going all the way down it. It's on the right when you're going up the ganjola to the backside (credit to Steve V on the term, can you really toke in those? The sign only says no smokin cigarettes). That's cool you snowboarded there right from the start, I'm ready to try that shit once I get some time in at all the slopes on my pass. Need to find a cheap place to rent a snowboard.

So, i went skiing at vail thanksgiving week....

All i've got to say is that i'm super jealous of all you that are living up in the mountains!! The gnar was to much fun. Can't wait to make it back out in December!

Oh, and R.I.P. Rasta Bahn(for those that know). You will be missed. Hopefully i can meet up with one of you heads while shredding next time.:smiley_joint:

 

[OldStageCoach]

Rockin out loveland pass backcountry....f the lift tickets

 

[Buddy Flowers]

^ avalanche killed 1 yesterday at Dry Gulch just north of there. Careful out there fellow farmers.

 

[dman16]

big line is open at keystone and it is off the hook!. saw so many pro's yesterday it was amazing even got props from a few lol.

 

[Rednick]

Gotta be careful on the Ganjola.
The one at Breck makes wayyyy too many stops...
You need one like at Vail, 13 min ride, no stops. (or at least it used to be, 5 years ago)...Be sure to air out the Ganjola before you get to the top (no clambakes).
I prefer Rasta Huts, but I don't ski at Mary Jane anymore, so I gotta do some hunting in the trees.
RIP rasta bahn, an oasis for sure on the frontside.

 

[Steve Z]

haha, the steamboat ganjola is the best IMO. like 12-13 mins.

or keystones.... theres is a straight shot too, and you can smoke at night, but you gotta watch out! i've seen fools blazin from like 5-6 carts back haha

I got to spend some time on the Eldorado small park today my jumping skills have much improved, being a old skool vert skater back in the day, im starting to be more compfortable in the air with a board attached to my feet. Got some good method grabs by the end of the day. I was feeling good so I trecked over to the freeway terain park and dropped in on the supper pipe. Holy shit! that thing is icy and hard, I made 2 turns got about 1/2 way up the transition, busted my ass. Not quite ready for that at all. Is there a meduim sized pipe open in breck or keystone? Much respect for anyone who braves the 22ft monster. I thought no problem, man I skate vert all the time, I can handle the super pipe. Not so..... That shit hurts. While my boarding skills have vastly improved since I moved here, Im not no where near ready to hit that monster. My goal is to make a safe pass on the pipe before season ends. Wish me luck....

 

[Steve Z]

haha man keystone has the 22' superpipe you wont want that lololol

it is amazing and cut bi-weekly if memory serves me correct

yeah if your shreddin pipe you want those edges nice and sharp - exact opposite for park

hell yeah those thats whats up, i hope to god when im older i can still shred. shit im not even 30 and i feel like skateboarding/snowboarding has broken my body. for real

 

[dman16]

breck's park is 22' ft this year as well for the first time. i believe breck has a 14ft park this year (called gold king i think) which is great for practicing before going at the big boy.

Green mofo- I need you or cannagirl to contact me asap in regards to the scarlet venom, nycd pheno you got from me and the pre 98 bubba that s2b said he's give me. I moved to the mountains, but am in longmont often, so your area isn't that far away for me to get to anymore to get those.

I love to go snowboarding. When I switched from skiing to riding the first 3 days was spent mostly on my ass watching others go by, now I'm pretty good. I really like keystone for the night time riding and a basin for back country. There's also a place in Beaver Creek that I like that I might hit up tomorrow, but I might go to Idaho Springs instead, I'm really sore.

Dillon

Back when I lived in Dillon there was no snowboarding allowed at Keystone, so I had to learn at A-Basin. Just getting off the chair was a bitch when learning there. Hope you all have lots of powder

The Ganjala. Lol, I wonder if I know you. I love puffing tough in it. I remember a few of had first chair on it. We blazed like champs the whole way to the top. When the doors opened a cloud blew out. The girl working the boards was like what the hell? I told her thats how it was when we got in. Was'nt us. I just loved the look on her face.
I also used to love clipping tickets my first year. I was a pro at that. I probably got about 100 days in by doing that the first season I was there.
I loved the looks on the peoples faces when they would walk in the bathroom and see me there at the warm air hander dryer pulling the pass apart by the heat.
Man, I cannot wait to go back. One cool thing is I can bring some meds with me on the Airport in Portland. They actually allowed it for medical patients to carry it on the plane. Just hope Denver is cool with it.

 

[Rednick]

Just hope Denver is cool with it.

Well if packaged properly, there shouldn't be anyone noticing. You go through security at your place, not ours.
Biggest worry I have at DIA is getting my meds jacked, I used to know people that worked in baggage (they smoked).
But I don't fly often (hardly at all), so I am not an authority on this subject.

i could never really figure it out. always thought that TSA was a federal agency so they dont exactly have to respect state laws. and ive heard of people getting hit with trafficking across state lines. TSA said that they didnt really get any security threats with the new porn scanners, just a bunch of people with some weed strapped to their crotch so they do care. "if" i would ever do that i would still try to keep it hidden and inconspicuous in a bag. i have always had debates with people about if its better to check it or carry it, but ive seen both work.

 

[Smokey503ski]

On the OMMP Oregon Medical they made it legal to fly with it. I am just not sure if you can take it out of state. Maybe it might be only in state.

 

[mdTHC420]

i think cali said you could fly instate with it if you declare it but who checking in would like to say "oh, theres a half pound in there, please be careful with it". really dont know what an easy answer is, but people like to say one thing and its not guaranteed that everyone got the same memo.
