Where can I get a coupon for Aspen ski lift tickets?

Last year I bought Entertainment Book coupons off eBay. They dont seeem available this year.

It’s illegal to buy them off of Ebay, the guys that sold me mine got banned for life. And they asked for me to give them back but I used them anyways.

Can you use a freestyle snowboard mainly for freeriding even though it is meant for the terrain park?


Yes.
The only problem comes in powder. If you have a twin tip, with a centered stance, you are going to be working real hard in the powder. Keep your stance a little back, and get a directional if you are never in the park anyway.
If you are never doing freestyle, consider an all-mountain board instead of a park board.

What are the perfect conditions for snow?

aah
the weather forecast said that there would be heavy snow where I live on Monday…
it’s now Friday and theres no snow… but lots of rain and a little bit of ice.
whats going on?
how cold does it have to be for it to snow?

thanks :)

if the air temperature is so cold that the water droplets freeze, tiny ice crystals form in the clouds. These ice crystals collide with each other in the clouds or grow delicate shapes. The ice crystals combine to form snowflakes. There may be hundreds of tiny ice crystals in a single snow flake. These snow flakes fall from the clouds to form snow on the ground.

If the air temperature is not too cold and the air is very moist, the snow flakes may grow into very large flake up to 1 or 2 centimetres across.

Mount High, Snow Summit, or Big Bear?

Wondering which place to go for snowboarding in Southern California.

I never been to Mount High nor big bear. Only been to snow summit twice. Which do you recommend? and why?

thanks

More people @ Big Bear, so depending on the day of week, Big Bear will be really crowded. However, the plus to Big Bears is there is much more mountain, meaning more to ride/ski on.
I personally would suggest Big Bear for a Monday, Tuesday, Wed., Thursday, Fri. type of thing. Otherwise, for a weekend, stick with the uncrowded Mount High.

Is it possible to only rent snowboarding boots at Northstar Ski Resort?

I just need the boots because I am going to borrow a snowboard and bindings from a friend. Can I just rent the boots only? I cant find it on their website and in the past, i used to do the one day ski trip (go really early in the morning and come back at night) and they take care of the rentals…

I only need my church shoes to skiing….

Where can I find cheap prices for Lift Tickets for Whistler BC? ?

I like to get a site or place where I can buy low priced lift tickets for Whistler BC for skiing.

Here are your options…

1. Are you a resident of Canada or Washington State? If so you can purchase a Whistler a Whistler Blackcomb Edge Card. They come preloaded with either 1 day or 5 days worth lift tickets. You will end up saving about $20 per day.

2. Stop by a 7-Eleven store in Vancouver or Squamish. They sell Whistler lift tickets for about $10 less than what you will pay at the ticket window. There is a 7-Eleven in Whistler, but for obvious reasons they don’t sell the discounted lift tickets.

3. If you are booking accommodations in Whistler, you can purchase multi-day Lift Tickets at the same time. The discount varies depending on the time of year you go.

You will find more detail at the link below including which tickets get you on to the new Peak 2 Peak gondola.

Have fun.

Snowboard terrain parks? ?

Hi im planning to build a snowboard box and i would like to know what types of plastics you can use for the surface, I would also like to know what type of plastic the terrain parks use for their terrain boxes? Please and thank you( of course best answers will be chosen)

They almost always use HDPE on top. Check with a plastics supplier near you for price and what not. Also you don’t need to wax it, just throw some snow on it if you use HDPE.

Big Bear or snow Summit?! Real snow or machine?

Hi all, Im planning to go to either big bear/snow summit, i know the two mtns are literally next to each other. I have been to snow summit , but not big bear. I am a somewhat beginner (ive snowboard 3 different times, once every 3 years) and I was wondering if you guys have been there…..which one do you recommend and why? I am going with beginners/intermediates. Also , how do you get to big bear, is it literally the same way you go to summit?

Also, it snowed Thurs night, but I know tomorrow (sat) it will be NO SNOW, and in the 40’s ….so they will be making snow. Is real snow better? Ive heard that it is , but I also heard that machine ones are the same since snow is made from water anyway, but I find that fake snow melts faster and makes it hard for me to dig in the ’snow’ =(

I waxed my board today at the shop , the machine one and it made a scratch on my board. should i say something or is that normal. why does it feel rough still.

Hahah thanks guys. ~!

snow machine suks, it just makes fake crappie snow, that hurts, and tunrs into ice, so when u fall, it hurts like a mother tucker.
good luck! and have fun!
