  • What Will You Be Riding On Opening Day?

    If they come in in time, I'm hoping to be on my new Ickys. I have a number of binding options, including soft boots, but will probably go with my Attack 13s on Spruce Risers, so I can try the set back option.

    If the Ickys are not delivered, then I'll go with my Slapdashes, especially if the coverage is a little thin.
    Just these, nothing else !

      I'll either be on the Spliffs or the SIIs depending on if I can convince the boss that adding another set of Skiboards to the quiver is in the budget. Sometime during the season I expect to revisit the Spruce 120s and demo some runs on a set of 164cm Whipits from J Skis (I have borrowed these from a friend who is having knee surgery and expects to be "in the lodge" all season).

          I'm hoping coverage will be good enough to break out my new Blizzard Regulators 165 cm. If not, back on the Sherpas I'll be.

            As with others, the conditions will be a factor, but the most likely choice will be Condors. It's been a while since I spent significant time on a pair, and I might make them my primary boards this season.

              I'll most likely warm up on my 120's (maybe even get off of the greens and onto a blue run) but I'll probably spend most of the day on my Trikke (especially is any black runs are open).

                  Blunt XLs for definite. Possibly 120s on the second day?

                    Barefoot for all I care. As it stands I might only get to the slopes in spring.

                      I'm formally requesting video evidence if the barefooting is attempted.

                        First you can't be a regular on the forum and drop something like this without explanation? Are you sick, over worked, broke, in prison, concerned that Brexit and Trump as President are signs of the apocalypse & hiding out, ....? What's keeping you off the slopes until Spring?

                          Ahhhhhhhhhhh I can't wait! It's that time of year I'm mountain biking with layers on and enjoying the crisp cool air.

                          I'll be riding my main setup, 2014 Blunts. If conditions are extraordinarily bad (and it's not unlikely here in western PA) I might bust out my Snowjam Phenom 90's.

                            Spending most of December & January in southern hemisphere on family matters.

                            Relocating probably in February or March (where to will remain a secret until it then).

                              I'll be on RCs with my custom softboot backcountry bindings.

                              Just in the process of making another set, and my wife just got in a pair of Spliffs, so hopefully I get some runs in on those too...
