Paintball in the Snow

[bryceeden]

Playing in the snow is great. Sliding in the snow can be alittle cold, but it is tons of fun, just make sure you have winter fill paint, HPA, and a good mask.

First time I ever played was in the snow, I was at a friends house and it was the beginning of January, i was wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt, it was probably 10 degrees out

we ran around the house trying not to get shot, until i caught a frozen one in the top of my head, thats hurts let me tell yeah

after that i got up and ran around some more, until i realized they had all gone in cause they were cold, pussies

Oh yeah we were using tracers, that was like 8 years ago

Last spring, a couple friends and I couldn't wait to get out, so we waited until the first day that the snow had melted and headed to the hills.

It was muddy, rainy, and then half-way through the afternoon, the temperature dropped and the rained turned into snow.

It was a good time for us with HPA, but the poor guys with CO2 were shredding balls and orings quicker than we could clean/replace them.

I liked the atmosphere of it though... added to the afternoon.

Paintball in the snow just doesnt work for me. Where I play the games usually last about an hour and walking around in the snow always managaes to get it inside my clothes somehow, then Im wet. Plus its on like a 30 degree hill which is hard to climb whenever you do it.

[trains are bad]

Just think of the game variations-ice skating-sledding snowboarding-snowmobiling-*mind explodes with possibilities*

Bad news for me though, no HPA for me.

Ive played in the winter, its fun. You don't need to wear as much clothes as youd think. Running around all day keeps you pretty warm, you only get cold when you stop moving :)

Top Gun down in Jackson, NJ is open year round and is cheaper in the winter. Good times.

I'm quite accustomed to playing in the winter. Living in the Northwest and all (Spokane, WA). This year is a bit of a change for me living on the east coast for the winter where its still 75-80 outside, w00t.

I had a lot of fun playing in the snow back home. It can be irritating with all of the chops and the freezing cold weather, but you have to learn how to make the best of the conditions.

Its uber-miserable if you don't have some specifically formulated paint, and even that doesn't work too well when you get below the 30's.

Yeah, that happened to me a long time ago before I knew any better, and I asked some guy on the field and he replied... "its because your using a mag"
