[mag88888]

yeha footemps did this for computers. but i would liek to hear from some fellow AO skiers. where do you guys ski? what equipment do you guys use? what brand ski, ski boots? i ski up in vermont since i live here, its ok but nothing compared to western stuff. the resort i go to is smuggs, (smugglers notch). my bro's roommate at his appartment is pretty mucha pro skier. he's sponsored by line, and sugarbush (another big resort up here), and he runs the annual burlington rail jams dwontown. i wonder if i could get some line skis from him , sponsorship deals, wow that'd be awesome! so lets here for AO skiers, and boarders...heres a link to my bro's friend, he's the first guy on the trailer, (UNspoken trailer), his nic name on the trailer is chinko, he's nasty.

I go snowboarding 3 times a week at my local slopes. I ride assorted burton/ronin/morrow/etc crap.

i got K2 Omni ultra parabolics, salomite boots, marker m1000 bindings, and some brand new blizzards(dont feel like goin to basement to check em out) only used once not lovin' either of em greatly, good for not too serious skiing. latley i been at butternut in massachuets...... only thing really worth skiin there is the terrain park, which is good. but latley nowhere has had very good snow and as far north as top part o' new hapmshire is mostly cruched ice, which i dont like....

I meant like, I ride morrow board, burton bindings, ronin jacket/pants. etc. I only have 1 board .

540, nice. I should start trying bigger spins(only feel safe on 360s), but I am scared of 540's because of how much rotation you have, and I kinda suck at landing switch/fakie. Maybe at the end of the season, after I have 'spent' my season pass, I dont really feel like hurting myself bad at the expense of my 350$ season pass.

I ride at a wannabe ski-resort called Caberfae Peaks

[magman007]

i pretty much suck, but i have fun doing what im doing

borrowed em'.... good trick skis bit shorter, double tips are good, and they look cool too

[Mkriegs90]

I got 06' k2 fujatives w/ marker bindings (M120 or something, but they're all the same really). I've landed 540s off of 20 footers (woot???), but my backup skis are line maverics and my back-backup skis are some old school rozzies
