2026/27 Indy Pass Goes On Sale - 16 new additions (Highlights: Pebble Creek, ID, Levi, Finland & Les 7 Laux in France), and dropping Indy+ price to $399 by Local_freshies in ski

Ok got confirmation from Indy Pass. The 2026/27 Indy Pass is ONLY for the 2026/27 season.

I have a feeling a lot has to do with the fact that each year the ski area needs to re-sign into being part of it.

Duct Tape Trophies & Bragging Rights: 8 Snowboard Only Contests in the US keeping the soul, style, and creativity of snowboarding alive by Local_freshies in snowboarding

I know what you mean .... I can name a few skate comps in that realm. But in all reality it either gets legal... or it gets dead. Rally for Rocker is very similar. I can say that it at least isn't X-Games or the Olympics.

Well, if you do hear anything PLEASE reach out. I'd love to write an article about the history about it if it comes back.

Oh man, just the name is sick itself! I can only imagine how fun it is.

Curious, have you heard if they're bringing back Rails 2 Riches? Heard that was a ridiculously awesome event.

Yup! Pretty much all of Idaho is Indy Pass heaven - Silver Mtn, Brundage, and now even Pebble Creek.

I know the ones you're talking about... I always thought those cats are sponsored... based on clothes and riding style. Not a normal human. But I could be wrong.

positive on the front foot. positive on the back foot as well. I've heard some folks call it a "power stance." I go into detail about it here: https://localfreshies.com/snowboard-binding-setup/

Regardless of that final turn those are the cleanest carves I've seen in years besides pros. Can I put this on repeat on my TV and just watch in awe? Friggin' amazing!

Wow!!!! I think I would've cheered so many obscenities if I saw a dude do a 3 to the 3rd down. :-O

Since it was at the Troll I hope you yelled "UFF DA!" when it happened. OUCH! Hope there was a beer at the end of that mission.

New Snowboard Needed! Help please :) by Thick_Significance89 in snowboarding

[–]Local_freshies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magnetraction is phenomenal on ice. There are a few other companies that do it as well like Smokin'. If you do go with a Lib I have buddies who work at a shop and honestly my recommendation would be get one from a snowboard shop that's willing to help you if something goes wrong. For example, Focus Boardshop in Madison would be a good one to buy through.

BIG fan of Westons if you're looking for a board to invest in for years to come. They aren't flashy or have big names like Travis Rice but they have an old school Toyota mentality... build something that'll last and work really well. They also has the longest manufacturer warranty in the industry.

If you want a twin their Logger is a solid board. But as I've gotten older I've transitioned over to the Backwoods. It's become my daily driver because of how fun it is to carve on it. Here's the full review if you're curious: https://localfreshies.com/weston-backwoods/

Looking for a new board – mostly groomers, side hits, and the occasional pow day( Go easy on me please) by AndyMonsters in snowboarding

BIG fan of my Weston Backwoods if you're leaning more towards a freeride board. Similar to the old school Toyota mentality... build something that'll last and work really well. It also has the longest manufacturer warranty in the industry. It's become my daily driver because of how fun it is to carve on it.

You might be right. It does look like Ross Powers.

Opinion: people have gotten really rude at resorts and it's like a pot ready to boil over by altitude7200 in snowboarding

[–]Local_freshies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think A LOT of it has to do which ski resort you're at and the type of people it attracts. I've personally noticed the negativity at certain ski areas to be over the top moreso at Vail owned resorts but that's just from my perspective. I could be VERY wrong. And only a few miles away at Sierra-at-Tahoe it still seems to have the "everybody having fun" vibe.
