Many VT resorts opened the weekend of the 16th. We're going for the first time this season tomorrow, hopefully we'll have some pics to post!

For us local riders, things have gotten pricey there so we haven't gotten season passes for the past two years. What we do now–Another local resortHello Everyone as well! This is Rowan, sorry I have neglected this site a bit in the past few months, it has been very busy for me here in VT. I absolutely can't wait for winter to come and to get back on my board! Snowboarding is such a wonderful stress relieving physical activity for me, I so hope this coming winter isI wonder if switching back and forth between regular and goofy so soon could be messing things up also? Maybe if you stuck to either one or the other for a while and really concentrated on learning that one side first might help? Frosty what do you think??
No snow here either in VT, its raining and almost 50 today, although my home resort now has a new massive indoor waterpark to play in. Still on the fence with how I feel about this, I prefer less of a disneyland feeling. I'm going to go try these virtual runs now 🙂
And now a happy ending! This is not the norm for stolen boards, we were very very lucky….my son was riding today and spotted his stolen board being ridden, after getting security involved the theifs admitted stealing the board, along with 3 others. Not very smart of them to ride the boards at the same resort they stole thRide bindings are my favorite as well. About your wrist, if you are nervous about hurting it again there are lots of options for gloves/mittens with wrist guards built in. Wrist injuries are quite common when learning to snowboard. Good luck to you! 😛
A sad update to the very post that I started-my son got his new Rome Pusher stolen today. Another guy got his board stolen as well. Lesson learned the hard way. We're getting board locks tomorrow…the resort offered to replace his board at dealer cost, which was nice of them. Lock your boards everybody!
We spent the summer sailing, or, trying to sail. We bought a 24' sailboat and spent a lot of fun learning to sail, and spending nights camping on the boat on Lake Champlain. Now…we're waiting for snow. It has been super warm here, our home resort is supposed to open next week-we'll see. It was 60 degreeWe have a “winter storm warning” for the next two days…our local resort is forcasting 12-18 inches of new snow by Wednesday evening…guess we're not putting up the snowboards just yet, mwahahahah!
My season was OK, the conditions were the worst I've seen in a long time, but I didn't get hurt or anything so I'm pretty happy. I did a rainbow rail for the first time so that was cool.
That's great! My season is OK though I am not getting as much on snow time as I like. El Nino is
So…I got 2nd place 🙂 There were only 3 girls that competed, but for being my first time doing this I'm pretty happy. I ended up getting a nice Helly Hanson dry ride base layer shirt for placing, so I'm pretty happy with that! I definitely would do it again 8) I'll post some pics in the gallery once I g
