You always have helpful info. for others and wonderful ride reviews. Can't wait to meet up with you in Tahoe. How do you have so much time to do all this? Are you a professional ski bum?

No not a professional ski bum.... just addicted to the sport !!... unfortunately .. it does come with a cost ... my wife is constantly grousing about how I should spend less time skiboarding and thinking about skiboarding and more time doing chores around the house !!!! !

Does your wife skiboard? It helped me by teaching my wife to skiboard too. Now we base some of our vacations around it. I don't go as fast or as steep as I used to but it is still a great time.

My wife is a skier and pretty good at it ( she used to be ski instructor ), I have offered to have her ride one of my skiboards but she is not interested , she likes her long skis
and these days , she certainly is not as enthusiastic about it as I am !!!.. but then again , I am , way over the top nuts about skiboarding !!

My wife wants to "graduate" to longer skiboards 120 or more. I keep trying to convince her that the shorties are the best and there is no need to go longer. She is using Head 94's right now. I will have her use my KTP's and she will be hooked.

kx, I think it is more like high blue ( just because of steepness at the beginning ) rather than black and it is groomed... if you have skiied at Sierra , I would say it is similar to the West Bowl runs off Sierra at Tahoe
Here is pic looking down the slope from the very top ( July 2007 ), , it is pretty good at giving you an idea of what the slope looks like and is pretty accurate as to the slope angle ..
Originally posted by kx125rider1313 yea i saw that picture before and i thought to myself that it didnt look that steep for a black.
im really think about goin i have to try these things, they look like so much fun.
now is there any park terrain? like boxes/rails or jumps?
yes , they usually have a whole park set up to one side of the main run , with boxes and rails and jumps ., they run summer park camps up there also . .. you may wish to call before you go though .. when I was there .. they had had some big snowboard demo the week before and there was some huge jumps that were left over from the week before and there was no public park set up .. , so best to call and see if there is public park set up ( not just for summer camp participants ) if you go ..
