Nice.

I think we're going to hit sniagrab and see what there is for gloves for wifey. Perhaps more if we're not happy with what we see.

[Zach929rr]

[Wyck]

Can't wait!

[Matty]

Tylar i'll be at Snia-grab today and tomorrow. Not sure where at for Saturday or Sunday.

Leah, come see me at Snia-grab. I'm at the Downtown Castle location. (10th and Broadway).

[Sean]

Matty, I thought it opened on Sat? At least the Boulder location.

[Matty]

ya the Snia-grab in Boulder, FOCO, Parker, and Littleton don't open till Saturday.

The downtown Denver location opens today for VIP's and opens to the general public tomorrow, Friday.

You should see how many tents are surrounding the store. Had to stop by there yesterday and people in therir tents were wrapped around Broadway, to 10th and up Lincoln.

Colo Ski & Golf has a VIP pre sale tonight for which I've got a coupon. You can register for it on their website.

[Matty]

[cdbouncer]

If your wife has trouble finding gloves that work - I turned to mittens...I LOVE my mittens! Warm hands ftw!

thanx for sharing.

[Tylar]

Yeah, I've tried that and even debated them myself . . . but alas, she won't budge.

The three-year old, however, loves her mittens.

win some, lose some.

[DevilsTonic]

no tomorrow or tomorrow night. Unless you find some stuff over at Ski Rex. Which Ski and Golf do you plan to go to?Coupon says it's for the aurora location only.

[cdbouncer]

Maybe you need some mittens?! :hump:

ok.. cool. Ask for Kyle or Amber. They both know their shit. Or ask for Nikki, she help's with Ride snowboards and she's good too. If none of them are available find one of the rep's. As for boots, don't let anyopne talk you into anything, especially any of the burton guys. Try on some Salomon boots first. they are one of the more comfortable boots out there.

good luck.

if you don't find anything come find me at Snia-grab on friday or this weekend. i'll let ya know for sure where i'm at.

All I think of currently. My arbor board did not see enough snow last year since i bought it towards the end of the year.

I paid $450 for everything so far, but i'll be checking out sniagrab at some point this weekend for the rest of my gear! I'm so excited I wanna run around the house in nothing but my board boots....(:lol: that visual almost made me throw up in my mouth)

[UglykidJoe]

Matty you know where you are going to be this weekend yet, my 15yr old told me he needs a new board, and I want to make sure he gets a good board for a good deal.

[Matty]

Don't remember the guy's name, but he was a burton rep


cool cool. what board, boot, and binding you end up getting?

you can just PM me, so we're not post whoring up this thread.

[Matty]

I'll be at Snia-grab (downtown Denver) today from 11-7pm.

Tomorrow, it's looking like i'll be at the Littleton location. Really depends on what we get sold today.

Send me a PM later today to remind to hit you back with where i'm going to be. I don't get any commission on of the sales, i'm salary, so whether i'll help you or not it doesn't really matter. You can do what Leah did and hit up Ski-rex over at Colorado Ski & Golf in Aurora and they help you out just fine.

[CeMeN]

hope someone organizes a sweet riding day, if so I'm definately in! {=0)

I got killer deals on my bindings, boots and goggles.

Here's the break down of what I got:
K2 Cinch bindings (similar to the flows) for $75
black Burton Mint boots with the speed zone laces (SIICK!) for $80
Womens Burton Lux 150 board for $200
Oakley Black iridium lens goggles for $60


They had a pretty big selection of boots and bindings for $40 / $50 too. I just wanted something a little more convenient, so I paid a little more for the speed laces and the "flow" style bindings.

Awesome..... ya the speed zone lacing system is nice. I'm still a fan of the traditional tie up laces.

Now all we need is some snow and it's on. Looking forward to doing a lil shredding with ya.

I'm definately ready for it to snow...like tomorrow would be good!

:up:

[Canuck]

Noted. :)

[Tylar]

Yeah, been thinking that for the past few weeks.

I love speed zone Burtons as well.

[DevilsTonic]

Sucks that we have to torment ourselves and buy our gear in Sept when we can't use it until November.

[Tylar]

By mid-July i'm starting to get to the point of Jones'ing bad.

[DevilsTonic]

A-basin opened mid October last year. 6 weeks away.Still...that's like putting a bon bon in front of a fat kid and telling them they can't have it.

[Sleev]

ugh, mebbe I'll go to Montezuma next weekend and hit that dirty patch of north facing snow

[Sleev]

isn't there a place on St. Mary's that has year round snow?

[CeMeN]

[chanke4252]

I'll likely go over after work today. I need some new pants and gloves.

[Tylar]

isn't there a place on St. Mary's that has year round snow?

Yeah, you can usually sled down the glacier. Dunno how it goes on a board though.

[Tylar]

I found a reasonable cure for the itch lately . . . Shaun White Snowboarding on the Wii. :drink:

[Matty]

you can always go up to Breck drive up the jeep trail off of Peak 9 and ride down the 4th of July bowl. they have about 5 or 6 rails set-up.

warning, you need a jeep or a vehicle with a lot of clearance.

Loveland starts blowing snow in 15 days.

if you're really jonesing to ride. Go to Breck, take the jeep trail up to Peak 9 (right by the Mercury Superchairlift) and hike and ride the 4th of July bowl. They have 5 or 6 rails set-up.

[Tylar]

Yeah, saw that on their site. I feel spoiled enough to have pretty good odds to get in a day or two before Halloween.

I don't have a vehicle that I'd want to run on that Jeep trail.

Have you ever done the 4th of July bowl?

[Sleev]

I was in Red Feather last weekend and they were hitting 30s. Not quite below freezing yet. This thread is making me antsy.
