I hit nubs all day Saturday and boyne mtn. Sunday before heading back down to east Lansing. The snow was awesome at nubs, they've been getting a lot of snow up there in the last week. I wish I could come with ya voolander, too bad we have opposite schedules. We had a great weekend up there. Headed to summit county in February.
For the love of Trevor...™

hey lookie here! a slope snob. awesome
listen friend, i am a flatlander living in chicago. to a guy like me... ANY mountain at 10,000 feet with real "powder" is better than the crappy 500 foot hills covered with ice and fake snow in the midwest.
also, i have absolutely no love for the punk boarding kids that everyone on the mountain hates. ive been on ski's before, but after trying both I decided that riding puts significantly less wear and tear on my knees.

So I haven't skied or snowboarded in so so long I'm not sure which to choose at Boyne Highlands over the next two days. I tend to lose my center of gravity a little when you put something underneath my feet (ie.. skateboard, roller blades, ice skates) but I'm a decent athlete and understand the basic concepts of both. I'm going to fall and hurt myself regardless, but should I choose skis and risk the splits or the board and bust my ass/hips?

What's everyone riding on? I'm rocking an Arbor Element snowboard. Gotta rock that wood grain baby! I'm also skiing with some K2 Apache's when I want to shake my fist and yell nonsense at snowboarders and tell them to quit sitting in the middle of the hill.

The Banana Magic, as Snowy pointed out, is considered a "hybrid" rockered design where it has reverse camber between the feet and then regular camber past the bindings.
This is actually how most companies are heading instead of just a rocker style (regular banana). K2 does flat rocker where it's completely flat instead of camber or reverse, except at the tip and tail which are reverse. Never summer's line is all reverse camber now...and there was a power struggle between them and Lib Tech regarding the patent. Lib put it in first but with less detail, NS received their patent first.
Anyway...regarding chatter. I don't have much chance to really charge at Mt Holly, but I did get cruising pretty fast on Friday and it was stable as my old cambered board, or at least so unnoticeable that I couldn't tell a difference.
Attached is a photo of my Magic and how it is "hybrid" camber (hope the photo works)

Like I said, hooray for slope snobs... With 87 in your username, you are the old guy with the mullet that rocks the jeans with your skis, complaining about every little thing like an old man shaking a stick at the cloud. It's a mountain, it's real snow, and I could care less which one it is. Also going to copper, breck, and night runs at keystone. Feel free to bash those mts too, snob.

dang, wish I could sport a mullet...............but, no, I'm the 40 something who crushes you on his tele skis that you wish you could keep up with..........
Enjoy your trip, but again you miss the point. If you live in Colorado and get a chance to ski anywhere in the state, most will pick Aspen. The reasons are obvious.
Have fun, but save up a little extra cash and next time ski Aspen........you'll thank me afterwards.....

I am heading to Whistler/Blackcomb today for a long weekend of skiing. There will be 2 DH skiers, 1 tele skier and 1 snowboarder in our group.
Feel free to commence with the discussion of how much Whistler sucks to whatever snobby Colorado mountain is your favorite now...
