yeah i dont really know dick about boards, just some spillover from ski crap, i guess it took some people a little getting used to the weird flex ability of them on hard snow, but i dont board...

this yrs quiver:

k2 made'n ak (brewski) 189cm / rossi fks 14din - go to ski for any soft snow, stupid soft but buttery smooth, twin tip jibby goodness
rossi course 9s 193cm / fks (swap over) - rock ski, prob wont bother this yr just use ...
dynastar coupe g9 203cm / marker mrr 14din - resort hard snow and early season
dynastar coupe g9 213cm / head 16din - night ski, longboard day, race, not super useful unless going mach looney on them and cant do that without getting pass pulled...
authier 180cm / tyrolia trb - im not sure i am going to toy with these, they are from the 80's and might explode if i try them in the backcountry, but fuckit they might make it out this yr anyway
im looking for a good crud busting ski with tip rocker and stiff flex, been keeping an eye on cl for a score, but nothing yet...

need to put some work into boots as usual, fucking things are a never ending battle
picked up a new bern helmet, need the winter liner
found an avy beacon at goodwill, within spec and still ticks, score!!
looking for alpine trekkers or maybe dukes/fritschi/etc... for bc use, but its a pipe dream
need new goggles, waiting for a deal on io's or something decent

i took a 15 yr old marmot goretex shell that was starting to delaminate into rei and walked out with a brand new arcteryx proshell
goodbye mcdonald coat :bye: i will never be as easy to find upside down in the snow as when wearing you
all praise ullr, we welcome la nina to the PNW
fuggin stoked for winter
