ive been snowboarding for about 8 years. i went out a few weeks ago, at afton on their opening day. i havent made it out since but i work there so ill make it out again sometime.

As of right now. Afton has 10 runs and they're open from 9am-10pm. I just hope the weather stays just cold enough to keep the snow in a solid state. one night of rain would ruin it for days. It needs to SNOW again!!!!!!

yea it does need to snow. i made a park in my yard last year and im trying to make plans for it this year. anyone got rail plans i could use? i have a couple rails, ones pvc and the other a flat rail, but i need a taller one and one that doesnt depend on the snow to hold it up. the flat rail was fine cuz we just put some cement blocks underneathe it.

I wish I had a big enough back yard to do that stuff. Funny thing was that I was just thinking about how fun it would be to rail all the time. I have never tried it, but I'm going to this year. I'll start small and go big.

i think ill have to skip the terrain park this year. i sprained my ACL a few months ago and im still recovering. im sure ill get bored real quick if i cant use the park. ive been to afton so many time im sure i could do it with my eyes closed by now.

oooo your lucky. their park isnt to shabby at all there. i liked it when they opend up the three parks near the end of the season last year at afton. slow if u wants u can come and jib over here anytime you want.

I havent been out in a few, winter is my busy season.
Currently have a Lamar "Tahoe Jones" Signature board with Burton Custom freesyle bndings and Burton Viking boots.
Used to rock a Joyride Titanic and before that it was a Morrow with Aluminum bindings.
Might hit up Afton tomorrow AM, coworker said it was 15$ from 9am-2pm.

Isnt it $15 all day for now, because they only have like 10 runs open? They might have changed it. This year its going to be $32 for a full day lift pass...I should've gotten a season pass.

DSMSTYLE ski trip come January??? Anybody?

im down for that

I hit up Afton today, first time out in like 3 years, miss it.
15 bux, went for like 4 hrs.
Still only like 9 runs open, but what the hell.

i just got back from Afton. The snow sucks really bad. There is only a couple inches and after that its nothing but ice. Even the bunny hill hurts really bad when you fall, which scares the new boarders. I dont think it was worth the $16 I paid. I'll wait until the REAL snow starts to fall...or atleast until they groom the runs. Oh well...I got the feel back.

i went to hyland when it first opened last year and it was horribly funny... slushy during the day, and if you went on the catwalk at night... you were destined to scratch up ur board from the ice and rocks... and then most likely biff it and eat the stones...

Ya, i think im gonna stick to the AM runs this year, I used to allways hit afton at night, neat under the lights and all, but the ice sux.
Kinda nice having the place pretty empty in the morning.
Deff need some real snow, but beggers cant be choosers.

I went to White Wolf afterwards and bought a set of Oakley Goggles as I lost my old ones.

I need to try going in the morning. I heard it was the best time to go. At night does suck a little, especially if you dont have goggles like me. My eyes get all teary and I cant see crap, so I slow down..haha.

I'm up for the DSMstyle Ski trip!

I will probly need to go once or twice before i hit up Squaw Valley and Heavenly in Lake Tahoe. Can't wait to go though, they almost always have DEEP powder. Gotta love mountain skiing...

I cant wait to go to Spirit Mountain, I heard that place is really good, because they're runs are way longer than Afton's.

hyland tomorow whoop WHOOP first time of the season

Cool...tell us how it goes! That one hour of flurry snow yesterday or the day before was got me excited for NOTHING!

hmmm same ol same ol hyland thats for sure. it was ok not the best... but for early season it was decent. they have some stuff set up in the park too.. two boxes a small SMALL rail, the mail box, a huge jump, a lil kicker, a rainbow rail, and a rainbow box. it was super crowded though. best thing of all is going with a hot snow chick.
