soubriquet 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Thanks for all the guidance people. I've seen some discounted NOS, so I'll take my time over summer When I came here, I thought I'd never ski powder again, so I bought the carvers. I've got better, which was unexpected, and gained a lot of enthusiasm and inspiration from these forums. Link to post Share on other sites

slow 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 You get "pineapple express" there, too? That's not only in Seattle? What is pineapple express?? I need a research. Hi Ewok! Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Pineapple express is the warm tropical winds from Hawaii that head north west (not exactly from Hawaii, but that's where the name comes from). The pineapple express brings clouds that are filled with rain and with it warm temps. Tyipcally these storms dump lot of rain. The pineapple express can hit as far south as San Diego and as far north as Canada. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I always try and learn something every day. Thanks for that. I wonder are there any 'special winds' in the UK, and what exotic name they would have. Link to post Share on other sites
