it woudl be cool if we coudl maybe get together for a day at teh slopes of some sort. maybe jsut get enough of us together to get teh group discount and have at the mountain :)

i do both but havent been going for like the past 2 years, ive skiied for like 3 or 4 years and still suck, tried snowboarding for like a full day and picked it up almost instantly. i must say im alot better at snowboarding then skiing, and its more fun :D

I love skiing, I cant snowboard for **** though. I'd be down for it.

I never tried skiing... have snowboarded a few times but it wasn't pretty hahaha. i probably wouldnt be down though, it would deplete cash from my winter mods and would subject me to the evil evil cold

i ski and snowboard. i just gadda see if i got my board fixed yet. i let my dad barrow it when he went to vt last season... (because his board was getting fixed) and he dug a huge slice out of the board on rock or something. so depending on how the knees are feeling id be up for a day at the slopes.

i you have balance you can snowboard, like i said i skiied for like 3 or 4 year (pretty much one weekend a year) and still suck, tried snowboarding once, practiced for a few hours and then i was able to keep up with my friends, not to mention i almost gave myself a concussion :rolleyes: snowboarding>skiing

snowmobiling... I think I'll have to give that a shot

it's SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

they run centrifigal clutches, so the more gas you give it the faster it goes. my boss' best friend had an Arctic Cat that hit around 140mph, but it got stolen. i might be buyin his other sled off him in the summer when he gets his new one. it's a 98 Arctic Cat 1000. 3cyl and could probably knock down the quarter in the low 11s with an asphalt track on it. i think it's like 148hp.

I used to be an avid snowboarder, but after blowing out two discs in Oct of 03 (work related, I DID NOT crash and burn) I don't know how my back will take it. I'd like to give it a shot this season though.

all i can say is massive amounts of pain killers, youd need them anyway if you were snowboarding :grin: my stomach muscles killed the next day...

Tsar

01-05-2006, 04:03 PM

the more gas you give it the faster it goes.
i thought it was suppose to be like that :shrug:

that wasnt the case in my car for about the past 2 months.... so far the dealer found out one thing thats wrong with it, the cat (which is what me and kasey though was wrong with it originally), luckly its covered under warranty :)

I've never been snowboarding before, but I can skateboard. they're kinda similar :wink:

I USED to snowboard ... until I drug my face on a slick halfpipe about 75 feet... never ever again... theres a square inch of my cheek that wont grow facial hair, a reason why nobody will never ever see me in a full blown beard lol

NJSPEEDER

01-05-2006, 08:17 PM

i can fall equally well off of either. so this shoudl be a fun/funny trip. :D
i am/was a pretty good skiier. haven't been in several years though, so we will see how that goes. lol

thats what i thought, snowboarding was alot harder to pick up then i thought it would be. ive been going for about 8? seasons now. i've been skateboarding for a little more then 10 years. i went out for about 15 minutes last season. i took my at the time girlfriend out (1rst time) and she broke her wrist, drove home and spent the night in the hospital. sucked. have yet to go this year.

Savage_Messiah

01-05-2006, 10:31 PM

:stupid: except I skateboarded from say... 4th rade thru the end of 8th grade... faded away once high school hit. My problem with snowboarding is stopping, and also comprehending the fact that you're attached to the board so however you lean or move will directly transfer to it... yea. Not as similar as I thought they'd be

Ian

01-05-2006, 11:14 PM

:? how do you stop on a snowboard anyway? :lol:

turn it sideways and lean on the heel edge.

i can rollerblade. maybe i'll just use snow blades, even though those are like, the "pansie" way to go.

Savage_Messiah

01-06-2006, 12:34 PM

hey Kasey, just grab a snowmobile if they have'em like i'm gonna do.

sled drags rule and it's just like riding a moped. all you have to do is give it gas. no shifting. and the minute you let off the throttle you'll slow to a stop.

sounds good, and if not then snowtube, and if not that then hang out in the lounge with Craig :lol:

What kinda prices are we talking about?

:? how do you stop on a snowboard anyway? :lol:

dig you heels in or your toes in, i cn do both but i usually fall on my ass when i do a heel stop :lol: and not to mention i almost gave myself a concusion by doing a toe stop when i was doin about 20+ down a mountain :hammer:

I've never been snowboarding before, but I can skateboard. they're kinda similar

very similar, just you gotta be used to the fact that your feet are attached to the board. whats odd for me is i cant skate to save my ass nor can i surf but i picked up snowboarding in like an hour or two, before that i had been skiing for like 3 seasons and still wasnt that good at it....

maybe i'll just use snow blades, even though those are like, the "pansie" way to go.

from what i head those things are faster then regluar skis

I'm up for it whenever you guys decide. I've always gone to camelback, but I'm sure thats a long haul for a lot of you guys (its a little past shawnee). Wherever it is, count me in. I havent skied in 2 years or so, should be interesting.

MilehighBird

01-09-2006, 10:25 AM

I live right across the street from Shawnee. If you guys are interested I could find out about group rates and rental info. It might be a little haul for some of you but it's real close to Rt. 80.

Brando56894

01-09-2006, 05:41 PM

yea i went to shawnee the first time my church planned our ski trip, its a really nice place there. havent been there in atleast 5 years though, and same here i havent snowboarded/skied in about 2 years also
