Latest blog news

On Today's edition of the blog, its going to be snowboarding related as usual. Finally, after a long wait the weather is starting to cool down with temperatures reaching the mid 30's overnight. Snow is even being predicted by the end of this month or early November. Predicted openings for the local ski resorts is somewhere around the beginning of December.
On another note all of my snowboarding gear has been acquired for the up and coming season. Due to me being extremely bored at home I decided to try on all of my gear. Surprisingly it all looked good together and i was happy with the purchases that I made. For now it appears that all I need to do is play the waiting game for cooler temps and snow.
For the end of this blog, I am going to list some good areas to ride that are not too far away. Holiday Valley and Peek n Peak are both located in New York and if I recall correctly there around 4 hours away. If your looking for somewhere a lot closer your option is probably BMBW. This place is fun but not very challenging or adventurous for the better riders.

open house 2011

Tonight this edition of my blog will be about the bmbw open house. Open house is when there are heavy discounts on anything you will ever need for snowboarding. A friend and I left avon lake around ten in the morning to go get some of these great deals. He got a sick pair of pants and I got my season pass. While in line waiting to get my pass a lady decided to mouth off to us about our language. My friend then told her that she was not his mother. She took offense to this comment and said I would be embarrassed if you were. Afterwards, we could not stop laughing about it. Finally it was my turn to get the picture and I got it and then we just decided to leave. Anyways, open house lasts all weekend and if your into snow sports you should head out and take advantage of the savings. It is really a good time to go get what you need and hang out with some friends at the same time.

Up And Coming Season Preperations

Today's blog is going to be about the up and coming season. Right around this time people start getting all of the new things they need as well as season passes. In Ohio one of the best places to do this is the Boston mills brandy-wine open house. It takes place next Friday through Sunday. At this event you can get heavily discounted gear such as snow pants, jackets, goggles, and even snowboards. The season pass to ride is also heavily discounted. I would say during open house you can easily save yourself 100 dollars on the pass alone. Next, to prepare for this season most will take their boards to get a hot wax and to fix any damage that has occurred to the base. Doing all of this in early to mid October may seem early but if you wait too long prices can rise and you might not even have your board back when the season starts up. This is also a good time to start planning a ski trip with some friends. Planning now will give everyone time to talk their parents into it and save up sufficient funds. As of now I am considering a trip out to holiday valley during winter break. The reason being snow quality is better and the runs are much steeper and longer. Overall, compared to Ohio it is a way better experience. Well that's all that I really have for the Pre-season preparations for today.
