It is a great board.

I use my skate banana for all mountain since it's a wide and isn't as flexy as the regular.

It's actually designed specifically for bigger dudes. Skunk ape is basically what they call Sasquatch lol

Rode earlier today at creek and saw a couple of the guys from Everest at the demo that I met last time when I rose the Buckwild. Anyway I can't even begin to explain the difference the bindings and boots made together. The asym strap on the cartels is insane, you can't even feel it and I realize that the high back is only 1 stiffness point higher than the Missions but they were so much more responsive. The Libertines are the first boot I've ever worn that didn't hurt from the first run and they only got better as the day went on. Ollies felt so easy and weightless.

Probably getting an Illuminati Hero reverse camber board for next year. They're on preorder right now.

Also, waiting to hear back on the status of a splitboard purchase from my aunt's friend who works at K2.

May be going to Tahoe tomorrow or Friday. Have to check in at work.

Shameless plug for my legit snowboard forum mates:

East§ide · 02-20-2013, 10:26 PM

You won't trade for any snowboard gear at all right ? Pm me lowest price on the T1's.. I have pants and jackets to trade , gloves, plus some really old school pb gear if you still play. I don't lol

Is there anywhere good to go, over on the eastside? I'm going to stevens tomorrow. Really not looking forward to the Seattle crowd.

Theres Mt Spokane, Silver mountain, Schweitzer, and 49 north

Schweitzer is my favorite but none of them are terrible.

Superzeus · 02-22-2013, 11:34 AM

I'm probably going to Seattle to visit a buddy the beginning of April. Gonna try and get in a day each at Stevens Pass and Baker. Never ridden in the PNW, hope there's still some decent snow by then.

East§ide · 02-22-2013, 11:43 AM

were supposed to be getting 4-8" from tomorrow into sunday by me..nothing major but its nice to have some fresh on the ground. really looking forward to next weekend when im hitting up South at Creek on Saturday with 2 of my really good friends and then riding Blue on Sunday with my gf.

How is blue vs camelback and creek

East§ide · 02-22-2013, 11:51 AM

Blue is probably the most fun mountain in the Poconos unless you ride exclusively park, in which case I'd hit Boulder. Camelback is alright..nothing amazing, nothing terrible. I like Creek because it's close and because it has alot of terrain my gf can handle well, as well as South which is dedicated purely to park.

If you look at Blue's trail map, it's just awesome..Sidewinder and lazy mile and the park runs are alot of fun.
