I'm a *terrible* snowboarder... so bad that I'm not planning on going anymore (anyone want to buy an '01 Burton?). I hit Rose a couple times in '01... when the weather's nice, it's awesome, but like both Nicks said, it gets windy. If there's a little breeze in the valley, guarenteed it's gusting up on Rose. But it's so close if you can take a 2 hour lunch break, you can get an hour in on the slopes!

I may just pay by the day this year till I decide what I like. Sperry, you're board isn't a wide board by any chance is it?

I'm 6'4"... it's the widest and longest intermediate board they made in '01. IIRC it's a 167. It's got bindings for my size 12 clod-hoppers.

cody · 2005-08-26, 03:12 PM

Sounds a lot like my current board. I've had it about that long too. It's taken a lot of damage but I've gotten pretty good at repairing it. Sounds like it might be perfect for me. I'm 6' 5", size 14 shoes so I can only use a true wide board. My first board was a Burton Floater and my current is the Bullet...both the current cheapo Burton wide board at the time.

Please let me know the specifics including what you'd like to get for it and I might pick it up as a backup.

Thanks,
Cody

I think mine's a floater, as that name rings a bell.

I'm not sure what used boards go for, but this thing is pretty much brand new... I think I rode it a whopping 8 times before deciding I was too old to learn to ride w/o breaking something. I paid like $500 for it w/ the bindings, so I guess like $300 with the bindings? Like I said I'm not sure what sort of depreciation these things have. Drop me a PM and we can work out a deal if you're really interested!

cody · 2005-10-10, 10:50 PM

I went with Mt. Rose.

JonnydaJibba · 2005-10-11, 07:32 AM

Dunno if anybody cares but, %100 of Boreal is now "jibbable." There are rails and jumps off of every lift. Since I couldn't afford a pass right now (moving is expensive), my dad got me a pass to Rose. Rose isn't the best so I think I'll get a Night Pass to Boreal, $99 all season. It goes from March to November, wait, switch that, 3:30 to 9pm every night.

cody · 2005-10-11, 08:20 AM

That's a good deal.

What don't you like about Rose? Just curious.

JonnydaJibba · 2005-10-11, 09:24 AM

Um, it's not that big, that's not that bad (0), I think the only reason they have a park is just to say they have one, which means it's not that good (-1). And really that is about it. I've always gone to Sierra, which isn't that big either, but for the last 3 years the parks they've had have been awesome. And I have some bias towards it because I've grown up going there. But now I live in Reno and Sierra is faaar. I have a bunch of skiier friends that go to Rose so it won't be too bad.

Libila · 2005-10-11, 09:45 AM

Are the boy still skiing this year Jonny? I haven't heard from them in quite a while. I'm going to make at least one trip home to ski thise year; Mark my words.

cody · 2005-10-11, 09:51 AM

Cool, thanks Jonny. I've only been to Rose a couple times over a pretty stormy weekend and I was a beginner then.

I'm pretty stoked about having a season pass this year. Boarding was one of the reasons I agreed to move up here.

JonnydaJibba · 2005-10-11, 10:48 AM

Rose isn't bad, esp. if you are a beginner. We'll have to hit it up sometime when they open.

Yeah they are still going to Rose this year. Eric, Tim, Kahlen and Joe will be there. Eric is gonna work there again (or so he says, you know those crazy stoners) and Joe is of course is doing patrol.

LetItRev · 2005-10-11, 08:57 PM

<---Also got a pass at Rose this year. I've been there once but thought it was the way to go since I can see the slopes from my kitchen window. We need to have seccs days at Rose. It's easier to go if you have a ski/snowboarding buddy.

cody · 2005-10-11, 09:17 PM

I'll post here before I go anytime I have extra seats in the car. I usually have weekends off, but if crowds seem to be an issue, I may rearange my work schedule.

Kevin M · 2005-10-12, 01:08 AM

I bought my season pass for Northstar/Sierra at Tahoe. I figured I'd go to Rose when people post up "dude, who wants to go to Mt. Rose today?" a few times this winter anyway.

JonnydaJibba · 2005-10-12, 06:09 AM

I'm hopin my padres will get me a rack for X-mas so I can stop cramming my board in between my seats.

dknv · 2005-10-12, 07:56 AM

I'll be trying to sell a ski rack before I move, used to be MattR's, fits a wagon. Edit: see User Classifieds if interested.

wrxtasy · 2005-10-12, 08:25 AM

well my fav is rose just cus its so close. also the chutes just opened last year so youve probly never been on those. made the mountain a lot bigger and less crowded. it doesnt get nearly as crowded as most other resorts. just my .02

cody · 2005-10-12, 08:53 AM

FYI, there's some decent deals on boards, skis, and accessories to be found in the parking lot of Gart Sports. I picked up a sweet Italian helmet for $50.

justaddwater · 2005-10-12, 05:28 PM

heavnely season pass is around $300. it's pretty close, maybe a hour from reno, good because you get hte ca side and the nv side so you can usually find a wind free area. MAJOR DOWNER lots of bay area yuppies and snobish folk. stick to the terrain parks and you'll be clear of them. great powder days.

cody · 2005-10-12, 05:43 PM

Wow, I just checked. It's $319 with normal blackout dates (not all saturdays like at N. Star). That is a sweet deal.

Nick Koan · 2005-10-12, 06:20 PM

Heavenly blows.

Short runs, long lines, all tourists.

doubleurx · 2005-10-12, 06:25 PM

Alpine is still my favorite. All that access to the backcountry with amazing powder runs!

Hell yes. I can't believe it's only $39/day.

bxracer69 · 2005-10-12, 06:35 PM

I love living up here on the lake. I have 3 passes this year, Diamond Peak, Mt. Rose, and Heavenly. Any of you boarders out there want a few pointers from a pro rider just hit me up.
