Yes.  If U watch some of the trick tip vids U will see 'Squaw' on some boxes and rails.  Northstar in other vids too.

What ever happened so the snowboard vid that doug said he was gonna post up? Seems like everything has slowed down ever since the buy out :(. I dont see a lot of goggles or no produccts.

Thanks for the vids, Doug. I've been using it last couple seasons and showed these to my gf who just started riding last season.

I guess you'll have to copy and past the URL in the address bar.

You can embed vidoes here to my using the 7th icon over, the filmstrip, and choosing "Youtube" as the option.  But the link he linked is wrong.  

Looks like a few are up at Timberline, too.  (The summer ones at HCSC)

Any suggestions for riding icy conditions? The two previous years I had good conditions and am comfortable on the blues. I don't ride park, but this year in breck we had real icy conditions and I was having real issues linking my turns. My board was bouncing all over the place and I didn't feel like I was holding a good edge or had any control. The previous years i would carve down the mountain swapping from normal to switch during the run and everything felt like it flowed. This year felt like I had more difficulty than when I learned to board.

Originally posted by belleayre   I think what you west coast guys call ice is what we call hardpack in the east. Ice is translucent. If it's white it's snow.

It's not as much the wax as it is the edges being sharp.  If it had only been ridden twice, they should still be sharp, unless whoever had it before you had detuned the edges.  

Thanks Man, this helped alot. :)

been trying to teach this girl how to ride for about 4 hours now and she still cant stand up .. im exhausted and frustrated can anyone give me some tips to help get her started ive had her watch a bunch of videos watch me and my friends and what we do as slow as we could... and shes just not gettin it...

Yeah...I don't understand about she doesn't want to be embarrassed when everyone else in the class will be at her same level.  Have you tried getting her to just skate around on the snowboard?

She may be falling because once the board starts moving she's scared and she instinctively leans back.  Take her to a flat area and have her strap in one foot and have her skate around so she gets used to being on a slippery surface.  

that or try walking her while shes strapped in. it'll help her get used to simply being on the board
