^^ Lead the way to the women!! I'll bring the bubble ;)

PNW was pretty epic towards the end of last season... Real dry and nothing, then a bunch of dumps right when I went to visit. Worked out great riding mountains between wash/idaho/montana!

Just booked the first trip of the season up in the UP ;) Got the rockies on the list for sure. Unfortunately I lost my sleeping couch out in the PNW... Damn those peeps with careers and moving!

^I so hope I dont get another crappy winter. It was like east coast conditions till feb here. Got my technical skiing on pow skis skill down though. and manage to ski hundreds of miles of vertical feet over the season. Vail resorts has something called epic mix that tracks everything for you by a chip in your card and you gain levels and badges. It like mixing and RPG with skiing and you make your self the game character and play everyone else with a season pass to all the vail resorts on the planet. Like World of Vail Craft. So much fun!!!!

roughly 90 days and counting till next season. the new ski's coming out this year have some big improvements in weight reduction. Now I am deciding between the atomic bent chetlers and the K2 Backdrop. thinking the back drops. I want a light powder ski that surfs that I can slash around really easy with.

To hold you over you guys should watch msp's "The way I see it." fucking badass video lots of good POV going off cliffs and what not

HZ: been checking out the Backdrop myself. supposed to be pretty close to the dps wailer 112RP. Been eyeing the Atomic Automatic myself and maybe a new pair of dynafiddles. Looking forward to some snow.

I may have to go with the Atomic automatics myself. those sound perfect for my style. I like a one quiver ski, but they dont fully exist. between these and my coaxes I will have one for crud days and one for fresh pow days. either way I want something with some hard pack control so accidentally I wont kill anyone on the groomers with on the way back to the lift.

Also, to all my fellow snow craving pow hounds out there. He who see's the first powder day posts up the new Ski and Snowboard season 2012/2013 season thread. We dont do it until then. I freaking jinxed us last year with stupid la nina hope talk.

This winter, we are hitting the slopes again!!!! TOH is chomping at the bit...he snowboards, I ski. Due to unforseen circunstances, we were unable to get to snow last year, but this year, we will be wasting no time. My fave place is Brighton, then Vail!!!!!! But I also loved Whistler......so many good spots!!!!!
