More fresh over night, 5 day forecast looks ridiculous.

Legs feel like they don't belong to me...

I love that feeling, it usually only lasts for a day or so though and then I'm back up to snowboarding fitness. It looks brilliant up there right now and if that forecast is correct it is only going to get better, hope the light is kinder next time.

Mate you should get yourself over here, its gonna be an epic season.

1.45 metres of snow in the past 2 days. Conditions are unreal, I got myself buried in some trees yesterday, took me about 90 minutes to get back to a groomed run after using my board to hike through belly high pow :cool:

Going to Tignes for a week on saturday, conditions perfect, CANNOT WAIT!

Still coming down strong here, smashed the record for the most snow ever in November and still 10 days left. Theres been over a foot of pow every morning for the past week.

Keeping the tip up is brutal on the backleg! Buddy got stuck in earlier and did the 'turtle' for a good 5 mins:

Great pics from Mr.Stu, jealous I am! would love to get out to Whistler at some point as I've only been skiing in the french alps so far. Don't think I'll get out to the slopes this christmas though :-/

Razor-BladE · 22 Nov 2009 at 00:30

Off to Ziller Valley in mid February. Can't wait!!

Where's a good place/site to get cheaper ski sunglasses, jacket and salopettes from?

semi-pro waster · 22 Nov 2009 at 07:41

Boardwise have some good deals on their website often and they've got at least one store in London I believe.
Boardridersguide and Extremepie often have some good deals on their websites also.

Hey all, I am looking to do my first snowboarding trip in a few weeks. Im studying in Seoul so figured I should try out snowboarding. I found a group that does trips up there, should I go with them or is it likely to be way more expensive that way? Im going to need to rent EVERYTHING.

Any tips? Im 22, pretty athletic and used to skateboard badly but I imagine i'll be half decent.

If anyones been snowboarding in Korea, know the best place to go? Though I imagine it dont matter much for a beginner?

Thanks!

Freefaller · 4 Dec 2009 at 07:43

I rent everything (apart from clothes) including boots etc... it works out cheaper for me as I don't go that often - however group deals might offer you discounts?

Never knew the skiing/snowboarding in Korea was good!

jr1104 · 5 Dec 2009 at 00:05
