high of 4 at Jay on Saturday but we're going up for 1 day. breaking out the cold weather gear.

they got another 14 inches Tuesday night/Weds, so it should be pretty sweet.

yeah...even from here it's tough. 3:45 or 4 hours, something like that. whats nice is that tickets are cheap - lots of hotels up there have vouchers that give you a $40 or $45 lift ticket. compared to $84 at Stowe...

also I noticed that Jay has conveniently forgotten to update their forecast for tomorrow.. they still list the a high of 19 tomorrow on their site, all other weather site disagree...

Mt. Snow is my favorite, been up there about 4 times this year.....twice the conditions were excellent and I had an unreal beyond belief incredible time.....twice the conditions were subpar and I still had a pretty good time..

nice photos chaps, very jealous.

i am in thailand now but am thinking of doing a season in NZ or chile in 6 months and then going to Vancouver for the 08/09 season.

anybody snowboarders here with clown size feet like myself? can you recommend any decent wide boards? the only good one i know of is the burton baron es

[manupod]

Fletcher- I have size 12 boots and I've been rocking Never Summer wide boards for years now and love them.

[Fletcher19]

yeah they always seem to have a great rep

my feet are uk13 which is us14 so maybe ill be ok if i get some pretty compact boots

[manupod]

holy **** dude, those are huge, i'm surprised you can even find a board that wide- do you have your feet angled way out, too?

i think they were something like 18deg on the front and 15deg on the back (i havent ridden in 2 years so i cant remember exactly). i guess that's quite standard but id still have a pretty ridiculous amount of toe drag.

the burton baron es is really wide and if i get some smallish boots i hope ill be alright, otherwise ill have to take up skiing.

Great pics skier, must be cool to ski with so few people around.
It's been 8 years i didn't go to the Alpes, i miss it.

jesus it was cold there today. -2 or so at the top + the winds were gusting. the ride up the flyer was brutal, I got a headache from the wind.

we stuck to the Jet/Bonnie chairs for most of the day, and rode the tram once.

Landed my first 360's up at Mt. Stevens last week. About to head up again in another hour and should get some video.
