It`s a big relief especially now that the weather is good and I can do outside stuff after this long cold spell. Cabin fever gets old in a hurry.

me and the missus enjoyed the day as well... conquered Duck Mountain Ski hill... not too bad of a hill, all natural snow, decent runs, but they need to comb them more often...

I grew up right close to wapati valley ski hill, so I was fortunate enough to go often when I was young too. Its not a huge mountain out there, but its a decent little hill.

Thats cool ya decided to get back into it too. What do you have for a board and bindings? What stance do you ride?

Hey Gang. It finally started to warm up a bit.

I wish I could go skiing. It has been so long.

The back and knee just could not handle a downhill.

Memories.

Nice board, Ive always liked rossi stuff. I went to a seminar they put on once, and they are a great company to deal with too.

Last board I had was a cheapy firefly, with a real kickass set of aluminum bindings on them, but by the life of me i cant think of the name of the bindings. The bindings I had were worth more then the board haha. That board I got for free though, customer left it for me to do some repairs on, and never came back!

i had a D23 a couple of years ago... cheap board sold by sportmart and such... it totally sucked to the point of not wanting to ever board again. the rossi is a great board, awesome response and yesterday at Duck, i got into some powder and find that its pretty good there too. i'd like to take momma out to sunshine some time next winter for some real 'boarding...
