Any snowboarders interested in heading up to a mountain?

[thechix0r]

Alright, I just picked up snowboarding this year and was looking for others who are either just learning how to snowboard or those that know their stuff (I might be slow I warn you).

Now I haven't had much opportunity to go up but I do like Cypress the best (most variety) and then I like Mt Seymour. 

Now both have a Monday night that is kind of two for one.  Seymour puts on a ladies night there so ladies ride free as long as they have a voucher from Pacific Boarder or other affiliates and Cypress is just two for one I believe. 

Sorry if there already is a snowboarding thread and sorry if it's in the wrong section (thought Meets was appropriate as it would be people meeting up.)

Don't snowboard? Now's the time to learn, trust me I spend more time on my ass then going down the mountain.  Skier? Come anyways, just don't scrape my board on the chair

Any interest?

I'm still pretty rusty but would need new gear..perhaps in the near future...

^^ Comor was having an insane sale, if you're in need they are pretty affordable or just try some things out and then get it online

id be down for cypress if we get a few ppl to go (of all skill levels)
ive been boarding for quite some time now so i could try and give people pointers, tho im not too much of a teacher, i can point out things not to do

[thechix0r]

Yeah I was thinking cypress as well and if we get a decent group of people Cypress will give us discounted lift tickets. 

Sch3 - like I said, I spend more time on my butt than I do gliding down the slopes

Bong05 (Veronica) heads up to Seymour for some boarding.  and Rancid (Nick) heads up to Cypress from time to time.

If anyone is going today, I'll be up on either Seymour or Cypress, pm me

Must go skiing!!!

[onuris]

I'm game for some cypress

[thechix0r]

Sweet, if there's enough interest I will look into group rates for cypress and see if we can get some money knocked off, of course those with passes don't have to pay, but will look into group rates.
Keiichi, come anyways, skiers are welcome

biggest obstacle for organizing a group ski trip is the date issue

I'd be up for going on the w/e's.
I've been boarding for a while now, and can try giving some pointers.  Going w/beginners will give me a chance to practice switch more =)... altho' i do ride switch better than a lot of ppl taking level 3 (cypress) lessons....

Or I might ski.. as I'm a lot slower on skis.....

No doubt, it's hard for my friend and I to make a date to go up let alone several people.  But I will set it either for night run or some time on the weekend.  People throw out dates and let me know what's good.

I would recommend just picking a date rather then trying to get a consensus. Give about 2-3 weeks notice and you should be good!

[Sentinel]

I might be going up to Seymour on weds if anyone is interested. I'm a newb snowboarder though....

[thechix0r]

^^ I'd be down, I suck too and it be nice to ride with someone who equally sucks!

seymour (aka freemour) is kinda shity tho... chairs are sloooooooooooow .. runs are.. well like what 4 of em?

[thechix0r]

I was up there tonight and it was good, lots of powder. Granted it's not as great for snowboarders who are advanced but it's cheap and fun. 

It was snowing there tonight but a good night, not too cold.

Had a few good runs and carved a couple times!
