Looking forward to a hike in March. I have never been on skis. One winter sport I played alot was hockey.
Enjoy your skiing D666.

Thanks Richard. I am looking forward to our hike as well.

I'm in MN waiting for this lovely deep freeze to warm up some so I can finish working on my van.  As soon as that's done I'll be heading to Montana for a few weeks to ski it up, hoping to get some good snow at some point

Getting up into the 30s allegedly by the weekend. Get those shorts out!

5*F today felt almost comfortable, this weekend will be amazing at low 30s

Agreed. My firm shut down its offices both today and Monday. I'm like, "we're in Minnesota in winter. How is cold weather a surprise?" Of course I just threw on some Iron Heart and went about my day…

They has delayed openings at local schools yesterday because of the cold. 0 degrees F. I have never heard of such a thing.

A nice day for a walk:

Two regular ventures and one venture switchboard. Fucking sick man. Silvertons finest boards right there

Where do you live?

[DanielAFC]

Fernie, bc. And yourself? I love the ventures. Stiff boards with great shapes

[ohighyo]

Probably the best boards on the market. Ohio, but I'm considering  a life change closer to mountains. I know people that live in silverton, so I have been hip to venture for awhile.

[DanielAFC]

You couldn't go wrong if your life change took you closer to silverton. Such a cool mountain with some of the burliest terrain going. As a person who used to live in toronto and has been living in the mountains for about 5 years now I can wholeheartedly recommend it as one of the best lifestyle changes you'll ever make.

Biggest mountain range in the lower 48

Where are you planning on going in Montana? I've had a great time at big sky in the past, and have been meaning to go to Bridger bowl for a couple of years. Hopefully more snow coming this way soon, as I say that we just got 13cm overnight in fernie, so I'm sure Montana is on the same train.

thanks for creating this thread Jeff…great move!

so after my move to switzerland and years and years after my last ski-session, i'm now looking forward to hit the mountains every now and then!

bought some gear already (x-post) and now i'm on the look out for a helmet and some goggles!

@Finn666:

…
went on the hunt for skiing gear today. came home with this (and some more functional shirts for under the jacket), both items from Salomon:

Salomon Sideways 3L Jacket

Salomon Sideways 2 Pants

anybody know something about Pro-Tec skiing helmets?

especially about the pro-tec riot…
