Boomer here, it's my last name - but it's what most people call me anyway.

Got into Boarding about 9 years ago when I lived in NJ, moved to New England and really did a lot more riding.

Then a few years ago I went to some resort in Colorado... never went in New England again. Actually it was more life getting in the way - but damn the runs were longer and the snow... well it was snow not ice!

Now I live in southern California and am looking forward to dusting off the equipment once again... ought to be interesting!!!

Hello everyone my names chase and on Ridemonkey I am Cwilly006. I have been alpine skiing since I was about three and I have been racing ever since. I ski on Rossignol 165-for slalom, 188-for GS and 201 Atomics for Super G. I ski at Whiteface Mountain but this year I had surgery on my ankle so I wont be skiing until late December or early January

Hi I'm dogwonder on RM, but Ripcord is my alter-ego when snowriding (watch me sometime, it'll all make sense) and yes, I'm a snowaholic.

My snowriding choice is skis, 178 Dynastar Legend 8800's to be exact. You'll likely find me in the glades at any resort, best snow you can find. My 5 favorite trails:

Couloir Extreme - Whistler
Mountain Glade - Vail (Blue Sky Basin)
Paradise - Mad River Glen
Valhalla - Jay Peak
Rumble - Sugarbush

See you in the steep & deep...

Mike, also from RM. Zahgurim here, Zahgurim there, Zahgurim, Zahgurim, everywhere.

I picked up an R-17 Addicted 173 w/carbon plate step-ins. Maybe do some alpine racing here this winter...Itching to get it on some snow! At home waiting I've got a fat 168 thats awesome for surfing on powder.
Mountains here suck. Too small, and the snow is mostly machine-made.
Will prolly head home to Van this winter, to ride real mountains and see family. In that order, too!

I'm Potroast88 on RM. I live in Arizona, so I don't really like the cold. I have made snow angels before and a good snowball fight is always fun.

brenth here and on rm. mainly a lurker in the last year.

I snowboarded for the first time last year at mammoth, and damn did it hurt. I really like the idea of snowboarding, and think that if I could get over the learning curve, it would be really fun. We'll see if I get to go this year. wouldn't mind trying sking either.

I'm oldskoolbiker on RM.

I skied for a few years, but switched over to skiboards 2 years ago. I ride Groove BG Pro 99cm with Groove non-releasable bindings.

I've been having a blast since swithcing over to the boards, except now I don't know where I fit in on this board.

I like pretty much everything except moguls. Also I need to work on my skills in the park. I typically ride the entire mountain, but I usually stick to the Diamonds because they are less crowded and more fun.

My defalut place to ski is Liberty, PA, but I also hit Snowshoe, WV and head out to Colorado every year.

This year I would like to make it out to Whistler.
