Ski/Snowboard season is coming!!

All the rain this past week in SD is making me think of the approaching snow season. Just wanted to know who else is excited for the season and who plans on taking their fit up a mountain?

Are you going to Snowjam? I'm planning on going just so I can get a ticket to Mt. High, even though that place is always super packed and there's never parking.

I got a new setup so I'm excited to try it out. 06-07 Burton Shaun White Collection 152 w/ Ride Delta bindings.

What do you guys ride?

I was planning to cuz i want new bindings and a jacket but i think i can get them pretty cheap from a friend. I've never been to Mt. High but was willing to go this year. I never heard it was super packed tho. more so then Bear?? Mario, you're setup sounds freakin sick. I got a Ride Timeless 152 (2-3 year old model) with cheap Burton bindings.

Dude you are a seasoned vet. I'm jealous of all the places u've been. i got a buddy who lives in vegas...has been tryin to get us to do a trip to Park City with him. Maybe one day. You take the fit to any of these or Mt. High when you go? I did a trip last season with 6 boards and 2 other people in the car to Bear...car handled it pretty well..but this was before i dropped it so i dunno how its going to be this season.

Park city it great!!! the super half pipe is awesome!!!! Last season I took my fit up to Mt. high only a few time but all the places I just fly in...the road to mt high is fun if you take the back road to Mt. High rather then Hwy 2 plus it not pack as the other road... you should still be fine I myself and three other with three board, and we were fine...

I live 15 fun twisted minutes down the canyon from Alta/Snowbird. I just got my Fit yesterday. I can't wait to try it out this weekend. Road is dry after 45 inches of snow last weekend so it should be good for a Sunday afternoon drive. All the resorts are open now so tomorrow is out. Too many folks. I've had a number of fun cars and worked at Snowbird for years so I can't wait to see how it stacks up. Not expecting much but it seems like it should be fun for a small, very stock, car.
