I don’t know if anyone remembers my post from a month or so ago, but... we went out on a date. Turns out he likes me, too??? :00
He’s so sweet. We had a really good time. I’m pretty sure we’re dating now. I’m having the best time right now ;)

- Buy snowboard
I made a post earlier asking about snowboarding and drugs. Decided not to head y’all’s warnings and took 3 mg of Xanax and went to the terrain park. Please do not do this, your balance gets fucked and you WILL NOT LAND the 40 foot jumps your bartard brain thinks you will. Do not and I repeat do NOT take Xanax and go snowboarding, you will hurt yourself more than you think you can.

AN: amazing neighbor
so i was enjoying my breakfast and i hear my gate opening and i see EK run across my yard and grab one of my snowboards and i run outside with my biggest knives (i wasn't gonna use it) and yelled "PUT THE DAMN THING BACK". EM hears me and says "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE YELL AT MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER". I said your "your precious daughter was trying to steal my snowboard". then EK says
"you have two you don't need two snowboards since your dad is dead he can't use one if he is dead. now i am thinking of using the knife but i stay calm and i rip the board from EK's grip and i wish that is where it ended. so 5 minute later i hear police sirens and i come out of the house all confused and EM says "that's him he's the one that stole my precious' snowboard" and my AN came out after she fed the officer lies that he believed and my AN and showed him a recording of what happened
long story short:brat comes in my yard tries to steal my snowboard EM yells at me EK brings back sad memory cops show up EM feeds officer lies neighbor shows recording of EK trying to take one of my boards and
that's all this is in 2010

Edit: Snowboard Version 1.4.7~Beta4 now available • Fixes issues with calendar icon
Edit 2: Snowboard Version 1.4.9~Beta4 out now on Spark's repo • Improvements for clock hands compatability on iOS 14.x
These are my goals from last year (did 39 days on snow; over the years done ~100 days total) and always looking to improve. I haven’t ticked all the boxes yet but getting there! I like to still get lessons every season just to perfect my technique, then I write down everything I learnt so I don’t forget. Also hoping to get my level 1 and instruct this year 🙂
Snowboard goals 2020
- Steeps
- Steering
- Foot pedaling
- Carving
- Moguls
- Choppy snow and keeping board in constant contact with snow
- Minimise chatter particularly toe side on steep choppy stuff
- One foot edging
- Tbar switch
- Bending knees on toeside
- Put more weight on front foot going down a steep
- Hop turns
- Fast short turns
Park
- 180 flat
- Butters
- Fast 360 flat
- Basic jumps
- Trees
What I learnt
- Foot pedalling: Stomp on front foot to go on toe side, hard lift toes on heel side. Keep back foot neutral
- Projection: push hip out and hold that edge longer
- Edge rolling: lean backwards and forwards; don’t turn
- Pivot turns: lift arms and turn through rotation. There should be NO edging, flat base as much as possible
- Dip in mountain: lean forwards, stomp on front foot
- One foot skating: lean slightly on front foot for toeside
- Heel side turns: DONT lean forward! Try and sit further back. Open up those hips
- Turns in general: push front knee out for heel side and push it back in for toeside
- Jumps: Approach, speed check, Ollie off lip, suck knees to chest, straighten legs then immediately sink in legs (crouch) upon landing
- ATML: Approach, takeoff, manoeuvre, landing
Lesson 2
- Carving: Try and only use edges, drive into the turn. Maintain pressure on heel side by pressing toes down slightly (defy gravity) and vice versa on toeside (keep ankles strong but still flexible). Let the side cut turn the board (hold that edge!). The side cut creates a rail turn. Carving requires the addition of rotary skills << what’s that?
- Down unweighted turns: Sink upper body quickly (bend knees). Push board out at the turn, use for steering on steep (but not icy) runs and on choppy stuff
- Cut through choppy stuff (but not hard mounds) rather than go over them as that creates chatter. Hold that edge through the turn
- Don’t force the turn too quickly. Ride it out with wide turns. Be patient during the initiation of the new edge
- 360 turns on steeps. Try and do them without stopping, maybe also try putting weight on front foot, then back foot, etc
—- Now here are my note
... keep reading on reddit ➡Looks like they fell out of a ski rack. I picked them up before someone ended up driving over them.
If you can provide me some identifiable (color, make, etc.) I'm happy to coordinate returning them to you!
Hope the powder was epic yesterday :)
Edit: Just checked this thread for the first time since posting. Thanks for the support, suggestions, and for sharing. I've added my post in KSL below. Will follow up on some other suggestions.
I just need a app or something else to take the icons and upload to me use, anyone can help me with this?
Hi Guys,
Hoping you might be able to give me a hand with this, I am relatively new to skiing, but not new to the mountain. I've been wanting to make the transition from snowboarding to skiing for some time now, or at least make my skiing skills comparable to my snowboard skill. I am a quick learner, I THINK that I know what I want in a ski, but want to just run this by strangers on reddit to see if they might have an opinion.
Main area of skiing is the midwest, smaller mountain, often icy, but not always. The UP of Michigan is sometimes a place I go so it is possible to get off the groomers. The big thing I also want though, is for the ski to also excel for when I make my yearly trip 'west' and get to encounter great off-piste skiing, through resort pow, tracked out crud & maintaining the fun factor and ease of riding. I have friends this year that really struggled on the off-piste at Targree and Jackson with their stiff hard charging sticks (Volkl Mantra M5's, but maybe they just weren't used to off-piste), and I really don't want that to be the case with these skis. I'm not extremely concerned with deep pow performance, as if I get blasted with snow while out west, I will likely just be snowboarding on it.
So having said that, I think what I need is a light, more on the forgiving side, easy to turn/pivot ski, that is still considered playful, but still has enough support on groomers to grow my abilities into.
All I see all over the place is propaganda regarding the Nordica Enoforcer 94 or last years 93, but I also see reports of other skis like the Blizzard Rustler (most likely the 9 version) being more 'fun' or 'playful' at the expense of hard charging performance. I am willing to make this compromise. Also looking at the Head Kore 93's, Black Crows Camox, Possibly Elan Ripstick? Am I on the right track here? I've made the mistake many before with snowboards thinking I need WAY more snowboard than I actually needed, which resulted in me buying stiff planks that did not suit my riding ability & style (turns out I am not Travis Rice). Thanks.

I want to ride switch and butter.
So which board should I get and in the long run I want to really much fun with this board and I don‘t to buy a new board each year. The board should ‚evolve‘ with me 😅
Thx for help👍🏻👌🏻
Im interested on buying a snowboard gear but I don't know where a good place to buy for the spring sale.
Thinking of buying my first board! I have 5 years of about 3 days each year.
I’m 5’10” and weight 160-165lbs. Beginner to intermediate skill level.
How long should my board be??
