its up north ish...i think its only forty five minutes south of Boyne Mountain (if you know where that is).

theres two places around here...timber ridge is about a 20 minute drive away and bittersweet is prolly around 45 mins to an hour. i go to timber ridge a lot more than bittersweet. its closer and cheaper. and considering the fact that in my current state i have to rent skis...i prefer the better rental skis...which are at timber ridge.

i wish i could afford new skis [&o]

 

Bittersweet is the one i was thinking of, although i don't know why i thought it was in KZoo. And yeah, i defintely know where the Boyne's are. My girlfriend is from Petoskey, and i used to go there all the time back in the day before i discovered Searchmont.

Well **** man, we'll have to go tear up the slopes this winter!

 

I really can't wait for this year. I think I'm gonna teach again (possibly) free seasons pass, can't beat that. Plus I can get new boots and claim them on taxes as work uniform hehe. Yo if anyone is up for a ski trip this year keep me in the loop, I'm always down for better slopes than the icey PA slopes. I really need to get my skis tuned before I head out this year.

 

I'm from Alabama. The first time I'd seen decent snow in my entire life was last winter after I moved up here to be with Chim. No snow sports for me. I much prefer the redneck sports, such as "Ride the Shopping Cart Through Wal-Mart's Parking Lot", "How Deep Is That Mud?", and everyone's party favorite, "Hey, Y'all, Watch This!!" (Usually the last game most Southerners ever play).

 

im totally pumped for this season. i got an 05 ride dh and drake mikey leblanc bindings and 05 thirty two lashed boots.

 

You wanna drive out here, then sure!!

My brother went to school there.

When I was in school we got a sweet deal on the skiing/snowboarding class, basically we got an evening lift pass once night a week for 8 weeks, it was cheap, and we got credit for it! Hmm... now that I'm full time staff I wonder if I can get the same deal......

 

your gnu board is tight but im a true K2 hater so im not feelin your ride bindings forty

 

At home I'm no more than an hour from about four pretty big resorts and two/ 2.5 hours from VT.

It pays to live in the woods in the middle of a mountain range.

Windham Mountain(where I ususally go)... 45 mins = 1,500 foot base, 3,100 foot peak (1600 foot drop), 2 mountains, terrain park, half pipe, million and a half lifts, 42 trails

Belleayre Mountain... 45-60 mins = 1404 foot drop, two mountains, **** load of trails, pain in the *** lift system.

 

Haha, I had NO idea Ride was a part of K2, how long has that been?

 

hell yeah. ive only been to boyne mountain...none of the others...but i pwn the slopes at shanty every winter.

and ****...most of my moms side of the family lives in petoskey. im half indian ya know...
