Ski/Snowboard talk/pics/whatever thread - Page 59 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

Didn't stop snowing for five straight days after I got here. New terrain was opening up every day. Dumped a solid 3 feet before that storm ran its course. Also, I gotta say Telluride is one cool ass town if you're ever looking for a change from the I70 resorts. Lots of granola, good bar scene, and no lift lines even when there's 10in of fresh powder. Sorry I don't have any pics to share. Was too busy riding hard and growing icicles off my beard.

Glad you had a great week! Like they say, it's less about how much is on the ground and more about how much falls while you are there.

You just youtube tags similar to the bold/italic/quote/etc tags and enter the youtube code. So for example your youtube url is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoN308XsmaI, you would use the code (everything after the = sign) in a youtube tag.

The tag you use is [youtube] and the end tag is the same just putting a / in front of youtube.

Also if you use the quote feature you will see the syntax used in that post.

Took my 17 y/o sister snowboarding for her second time this weekend at Camelback in the Poconos. Bought us both completely new setups/jackets (planning on making this a tradition with her). I broke my collar bone.
