Dust off your board....
This is a big weekend for all you shred-heads. That itch of wanting to ride soooo badly can finally be scratched. Many mountains in New England are opening this weekend. With these cooler temps staying put, many mountains have been blasting those snow guns and those lifts are starting to turn. Stowe and Mount Snow, VT open this Saturday along with Loon Mountain in NH. Okemo, VT opens this Friday (the 21st) and Killington, VT is already open!
Most mountains have the pre-season ticket prices going on which help those of us with a tight budget. Or find a friend, score a pass. Or get in good with the lifties, they'll let you up!
So dust off those boards, lace up those boots, layer up those tall tees cause shed season o8/o9 has begun!

How to Buy Your First Snowboard
No matter how good you are at snowboarding, you once started out as a rookie. This is designed to help those rookies buy a snowboard. I'm assuming that if you are ready to buy a snowboard that you have also tried snowboarding a few times, fell in love with it even though you had a bruised bum, tried out a few different boards, recognize your ability level and basically just want your own gear to thrash.
1. Do NOT buy a snowboard because the graphics are "pretty" or "sick" or "radical" or whatever term you choose to use. Just because you are in love with the designs doesn't mean it is a perfect match for you to shred on.
2. If you are a beginner or border line intermediate, you're going to want a softer board. It will help you to turn and get the whole feel of the motions you need to go to while keeping control.
3. Try to avoid going into a huge sporting goods store that has tons of discounted gear unless you know exactly what board you want and size you need. Usually, most of the sales people will try to get you on a board that doesn't match your needs or they don't really know the ins and outs of riding. Even if you don't have the money yet, go into your local shop and chat it up with the awesome sales associates. Most likely, they're working in a shop like that cause they love the sport, and want you to love it too.
4. Just because it is more expensive, doesn't mean its better for you at your level. For instance, the Vapor (a $999.95 board) will be super stiff and quick under you. You probably won't get the hang of the sport as quick as you would riding a softer, beginner-designed board like Burton's 'Clash."
5. Go to your local rental shop and try out some different boards. You'll notice what you like and what you don't like. Don't be scared to ask questions. I've been riding for yearrrrrrs now and I still ask questions about boards everyday.
Good luck and have fun. Come down to enclave and ask as many questions as you want. Go to the snowboard company's website and request catalogs. Talk to your friends. Surf the web and look at what people are riding and reviews on boards. If you're riding something you love and that helps you learn then you're going to love the sport. Just because you aren't riding the most expensive and trendy board doesn't mean you don't have the potential to get on those boards next season!

Burton Love Boards Receive Hate
Burton's new Love series decks designed by team riders Mikkel Bang and Keegan Valaika have stirred up quite a controversy. The boards feature vintage Playboy centerfolds that some women and organizations find offending.
Lezlee Sprenger is the leader of the movement against Burton and its Love series, created a website for the protest of ways to impact Burton and when to meet, rally, etc. About 150 protesters gathered outside of Burton headquarters in Burlington, VT last week to voice their opinions. According to Transworld Business, "...Spectrum Youth Services, a Burlington-based mental health and substance abuse awareness service for teens, which Burton has been supporting for years through its Chill program, will no longer accept Burton’s support."
However, the Love Coalition boards are only sold in select retailers. The Love boards do not show any body parts and will continue to be fully wrapped and covered and only sold to those 18 years or older. Burton has always been about pushing the boundaries and grabbing peoples attention. With no body parts showing and just air brushed women, what is so different about seeing these boards on the hill and seeing a PG-13 movie?
Check out http://business.transworld.net/ for more coverage of the protest and pictures.

Make some Turns
Killington, VT has announced that they are opening tomorrow (Sunday 11/2/08). Exciting! They have snow making going on and no beginner terrain will be open yet. They also have an early season park set up. I can't wait for opening day of The Stash! They've gotten 11 inches in the past week. Pretty awesome.
Check out www.killington.com for complete info. And we'll see you on the hill!
