    Just came across this clip of a few guys on shorties at Bohemia. This should get everyone revved up. I sure hope there's a big storm before the meet. I want powder like in this vid.

    Awesome! Sounds like we'll have 3 cameras: 2 GoPros and 1 Contour.

    I'll bring a computer we can dump everything on and watch the footage. If people want to bring hard drives we can send everyone home with copies of all the files too.

    Yes, I plan to ship the boards the preceding weekend, so they are sure to get to you in time.


    Also, I forgot to mention that I picked up a GoPro HD recently, so we'll have more filming options.

    One of the downsides of flying out will be my inability to bring all the stuff I did last time. I will have extra boards though.

    As of right now we have 6 confirmed for the cabins, so the cabins are square. We do have room for two more, but Nick has indicated he wanted one of the spots but hasn't reserved it yet. Tyler if you want a spot in the cabins let me know, as of now there are 8 coming including you which would fill up the cabins nicely!

    Hey everyone, here are a few updates and reminders for the trip:

    Snow update:
    Bohemia will be opening Saturday with early season conditions. There's still plenty of time for them to get hit with another strong storm or two, so by the time we get there conditions should be pretty good.

    Stuff you need to bring:
    A towel, soap, shampoo
    Multiple different layers (it could be cold, but you get hot riding powder)
    Boots, boards, bindings
    Gloves / Mittens
    Goggles
    Helmet
    Jacket + pants
    Something to cover your face

    Stuff we recommend you bring:
    A back up set of boards
    A camel back if you have one
    Cameras, video cameras

    Other stuff to keep in mind:
    A fresh coat of wax will be very important. I'll bring wax and an iron, but it would be best if your gear was waxed for riding on Friday.

    If you have a helmet, wear it. If not, consider picking one up. Riding trees can be unpredictable.

    Pillows and blankets are provided in the cabins, but the blankets aren't the warmest. If you get cold at night it would be a good idea to bring a sleeping bag.

    Hopefully that forecast holds, and we get some decent conditions for the meet.
    Hopefully, but with how this winter is turning out I wouldn't bet on it.
