Surfin' the frozen Ocean, Bro

Fall has arrived. I can feel it. I bet you can too considering it's chilly in the mornings and at night. enclave can't wait for the snow season to start... Places out in Cali are starting as soon as the end of October, jealous much? But we are interested in where you guys go in the winter. Head up to VT? Or keep it local and hit places around CT? I've done both and both have great places to shred, depending on what you are looking for.

If you are in CT and keep it local for the winter, you should check out Woodbury Ski Area (www.woodburyskiarea.com). This was one of my favorites in high school. You never had to unbuckle (unless there was a line, which was rare) and you could do endless laps with their small kickers and fun rails to hit. It's also popular in the summer and spring with their own kidney pool and an indoor section. If you want something a little bit bigger with some more options you should try Mohawk Mountain (www.mohawkmtn.com) or Powder Ridge (www.powderridgect.com). All of the above are fun places, shred-tastic and steezy enough to rock whatever gear you wanted.

Head up to VT? Tryout Mt.Snow. Super fun park and with 101 snow fans you are bound to avoid the dirt patches if the winter is weak (which I hope and pray to the snow gods it is not). www.mountsnow.com will give you all the info on tickets and season passes AND snow tubing. If you are going to make the trek up to VT also check out Okemo and Killington. Two huge mountains with fun parks. And in March, head over to Stratton and you can watch the US Open and watch the pros kill it on the hill.

Let us know where you go. What you like to shred. Park? Woods? Sit in the lodge all steezed out? Whatever! Come check out the winter gear. No Matter where you go though... it's all about having fun. And let us help you to look good while doin' it!
