off topic, who snowboards?

[A//// Guy]

I might be at afton as well on saturday, just dont know what time yet.

[Halon]

Which Saturday? As for this weekend, I for sure think I'll be doing it Saturday and not Friday.

[Halon]

So did anyone else go to Afton on Saturday? Me and my 3 cousins went out on Saturday. Got there around 9:45 and left at 3. It was a great time! We are going again this upcoming Saturday as well, probably about the same time. I am going to buy a new snowboard before we go though. I'm still using my board that I got back in Junior High, and it's old and pretty short (147). So I'll be heading up to The House to pick up a new one this week. We'll see what I end up with. Nothing too fancy, but not a piece of crap neither. Anywho, here's some pics and video of our exciting day!

Oh, and I've been boarding since 1995. Back when I was 13-17 I used to go constantly. Now I'm lucky to get out more then once a year. I'm not nearly as good as I once was, but I can skill get around. I'd like to start doing it more, hence the reason I'm going to go get some new equipment.

I going to have to dig my board's out and see if I can still ride my morrow lunchtray 133 board other wise I will have to get some new bindings for my other board

Im going this Saturday for sure with some friends. We might get there around 11am. If you're there look for a bunch of asians. I'll probably get some of them started at the small bunny hill, then after about an hour I'll take them to the hill by the snow tube area and the 2nd chalet and then the better of us can go around and have some real fun. I was hoping to get a new board by then, but no luck :(. Hopefully the snow this weekend is nice.

Judging by your videos, it looked pretty icy. Was there any powder at all?

[Halon]

It was very icy. I thought there'd be more powder considering it was snowing, but oh well. It was fun either way and I can't wait to go again this Saturday!

I hate snowboarding on icy hills. I haven't found a wax that will stay on for longer than a few hours when there's icy conditions. What does everyone else use for wax?

There is no such thing. The different waxes are simply for different temperatures. The ice itself will simply rub the wax right off the board because it is so hard, there's nothing you can to about it.
