TOPIC: Snow season

I just started learning to snowboard this season and know that Orion ski’s. Curious if there are others that play in the snow?

I’m out on the slopes in Utah this week love the snow! (snowboarder here).

My wife and I love to ski. We're east coasters, and will get in some days in NY, VT, and/or NH every year. We're part of a local ski club, and usually do a couple of trips every winter - mostly west coast (recent trips include Whistler, Mammoth, Big Sky, Jackson Hole, Telluride...), along with a great trip to the French Alps (3 Vallées) last year. We didn't go this winter because of a baby, but we look forward to being able to get the baby on skis in a year or two.

Hoping to goto mammoth before the season ends.

Have fun in Utah. Guess you’re an intermediate-advanced rider? What gear are you riding with?

Grats on the baby.

I love to go skiing and I am located out here in Colorado. Where we have a lot of great resorts, but also a lot of traffic driving up those resorts. I split my winters about 50/50 between resort skiing and backcountry skiing (to avoid some of that traffic).

I’d say advanced, no run I won’t do (I enjoy jumping off small cliffs) and not too many jumps I haven’t hit.

Also did Les Tres Valles in France, awesome terrain, tasty crepes, and amazing crème brûlée. My favorite was the Matterhorn over there, bordering Italy and Switzerland. Highly recommend.

I ride a Jones Flagship with Now Pilot bindings. I’ll probably get the Burton Step In binding next since I go with skiers a lot of the time and miss my old step ins.

I'm Canadian : )

I've done skating, snow-shoeing, tobogganing, and skiing (both cross country and downhill).
I really don't like downhill skiing though... I've tried it a couple times, and it's just not my thing.
(Which is a pity, because Jasper and Banff are short day-trips away for me, and I even lived in Jasper for a while.)

My favorite snow-related activity, interestingly, is to shovel the walks and pile the snow up in one huge pile, and see how high I can get it. When the kids were younger, we'd make igloos and snow forts in the giant pile. One year it was as high as the garage roof, but lately with climate change, the pile is rarely more than a meter high.

Snow forts are awesome.
