some resorts are not boarder friendly... with endless flat sections between pistes


Aha! Item one on the boarder wishlist :D 1) No flat bits

Good one. I've often seen boarders struggling and offered my pole to pull them along. Sometimes they understand and grab on, sometimes they look at me like a crazy person who's trying to stab them. :)



yeah i have done that to, it tends to be the pretty lady boarders i will try and help though! yes i am shallow! it worked 2 or 3 times! try it!

Each day my body gets older I thank Snowboarding for making skiing so much better and easier.

And reminds me to wear my helmet........

Gosh, did I say that?? :shock:

Where SB ends and Skiing begins (based on your perspective) is getting blurred.....

Have any of you guys tried the Lib Tech NAS skis? They showed up an a few Patrollers and some locals in the back-country last season. NAS stands for "Narrow Ass Snowboard". Not only are they really really wide, but have a "wavey" almost serrated edge. I know two guys to took the plunge and bought some last year, pretty much the perfect all-mountain ski (from a snowboard company no-less), cause they rock in POW and hold an edge really nice on ice and crud. We can only buy them here in high-end snowboard shops.
