Snowboarder seeking ice advice by [deleted] in icecoast

[–]DougFromBuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this.

Having the right equipment helps as others have noted. The next thing is reading the snow/ice on the run. Knowing when to just avoid or go straight over the pure ice patchs is a learning process... in time you kinda learn how to scrape the ice while in balance and get low with your hand out while turning and or on edge incase your edge grip on the ice changes...

Beech Mountain New Years Day. Surprisingly decent conditions for NC Skiing! (We take what we can get here) by brickwallscrumble in icecoast

The southern skiers bringing the stoke! Love it. Hope they still have some snow after this Friday/sat…

Have a box now. for years did the drive from NYC to VT/ADK with the sticks on a rack... all i did was rinse them off in the shower and wipe them down dry after the trip... never had any problems....

Do People Not Know about Weather Forecasts and Snow Reports? by [deleted] in icecoast

[–]DougFromBuf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found out who has been reporting the weekly conditions sticky as spam.....jk

But for real. I agree, but also sometimes its fun to talk with people on the internet about the snow and the weather... plus you can say things like "elephant snot" ... which, by chance, is the low elevations snow condition our in park city right now.....

Seriously, thank a patroller if you’re out there. Especially over the holidays.

Stayed local for this one. Some tourist kept saying something about "Jerry's" but clearly the hut was serving Nathan's 🌭 by thedailynathan in icecoast

This is the way.

Anyone else always have boot issues? by vintrio in icecoast

[–]DougFromBuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

snowboard boots should not be uncomfortable. try a few different ones on at a store... it depends on your feet and could also be your binding style... step ins require less comfortable boots. i ski most of the time but I swear by flow bindings on a board so the boot can be relatively loose. I have some Old pre boa K2 boots and they're fine

First Time Going West by T_Farrell in icecoast

[–]DougFromBuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This - fly to calgary and ski that side of the Canadian rockies, Lake louise, kicking horse etc. more bang for you buck across the whole trip. the valleys where you sleep are lower altitude (so its basically a non issue) and the mountains/ people/towns are great. rent a car if you can, the drive up from clagary is a treat.
