hutch 0 Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 powderhead on heli-fats....might as well be a boarder! if you guys have never ridden the pow on serious fats (130cm tip to tail) and 180cm in length you haven't really ridden the pow....you been sinking in it.... the versatility of skis with the floating speed of a board....watch next years line of skis for some major changes in that direction....the 2003 Salomon AK launchers can bee seen on powdermag.com when they visit Copper Mt on the 'Powder to the People Tour': http://www.powdermag.com/pttp2002/index.shtml?article=02_08 Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hi skiers!

Robert 0 Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Our family are all skiers. Am interested in trying out snowboarding though, looks fun (well the people who can stay upright on it anyway, not too keen on the "sitters"!) Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Hell yeah a skier! Sadly I end up spending most of my time with boarders due to a lack of ski buddies, but last Friday one of my boarder mates binding broke and when I went to have a drink she put on my skis and boots and liked it so much I had to convince her to give them back. Hey boarders how many of you have never tried skiing? You might just have some fun... Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 I just put on some skis for the first time in ages last weekend and really enjoyed it. (Usually a boarder). Will be out skiing more from now I think. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 danz, the snow isn't cooperating, so I still have the ticket in my snowboarding shrine. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I ski too. Never really been tempted to take up snowboarding. Kind of put off by the whole grunge/street image, and almost everyone falling over on the slopes. Had a wonderful time skiing in Niigata in February and hope to go back to Japan next season too. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
