Finding snow to ride - GoFuckYourself.com

Fletch XXX · 11-30-2002, 11:57 PM

I know you Canadians have plenty more places to hit the slopes, but here in SoCal.

Just about an hour and a half away, I have http://www.mthigh.com/

I just watched a 'Free Rider' video of some sick ass riders got me looking up places for this season and thinking about the awesome terrain some of you have access to. And I know some of you ride as well. Where do you ride?

I think its awesome that I can go one way an hour and surf, and drive an hour and a half the other direction and snowboard up in the mountains.

But it doesnt compare to where some of you ride.

Pics?

no doubt.

fletch, i've got some pics but it'd take awhile to find any mountain specific ones.

i do most of my riding at these two resorts:

http://www.skilouise.com
http://www.kickinghorseresort.com

when i lived in banff, i also rode at http://www.skibanff.com a lot too.

i'm buying a place in kickinghorse - it's being built right now.

http://www.bigwhite.com and http://www.skimarmot.com (jasper) are also very good. i grew up riding @ marmot. also louise.

Fletch XXX · 12-01-2002, 12:14 AM

Killer dude.

Reason I posted this is because i have a few videographer friends who are working on amateur snowboarding videos, and some of the footage just rocks.

Those places are awesome.

Hell yeah.

kenny · 12-01-2002, 12:19 AM

Snow mobiles are fun, I dont think I would like to surf on snow with a board though.

Fletch XXX · 12-01-2002, 12:22 AM

This Canadian 'Free Rider' video I just caught on TV blew my fucking mind.

insane slopes and man made terrains as well.

These fuckers were riding helicopters up to 50000 feet drop off points.

wild canadians.

there is nothing in this world that gets me more stoked than waking up to a foot of new snow, and getting first tracks

kickinghorse has INCREDIBLE powder, and is a very 'untouched' mountain. 2nd highest vertical in Canada. very few people/crowds. in short, it kicks fucking ass.

ask anyone who rides what the best new mountain in Canada is, you will here the words kicking horse over and over.

i plan on getting involved with shooting snowboard video myself in the future. though 16 mm still looks MUCH better than minidv for mountain video imo - and i know jack about 16 mm film lol.

Bro, I have 2 friends who are total hippy wildlife videographers.

But one happens to also be a diehard snowboarder - so when he goes he of course brings back digicam footage for days.

My hippy friend was just in Alaska, he sent me panarama quiktime movs of him on a kyak (sp) surrounded by glaciers.

insane fucking video guys.

barely have cars, but they got AVID systems and powerbooks hahahaha

I have no clue what one I saw today, I know it was Canadian.

It was good.

Awesome soundtrack as well as just nice shots and slow mo.

But for my boys videos,... I will be in charge of the music, as always.

So ya think thats the name of the flick I caught on cable today?

FreeRiders?

They kept using that term...

drunkdollars · 12-01-2002, 12:48 AM

Warren Millers movies are lame..

The standard films guys stuff is way better..

Tb7 was the last one I saw but they were always the leaders

Hatchett is cool he has a pimped out place in So Cal

Fletch XXX · 12-01-2002, 12:49 AM

yep.

this is it.

http://shop.store.yahoo.com/skiingco...milfreer1.html

I remember them doing those flips exactly like that, in pairs of 5 and 6 riders at a time, and talking about how they were blending snowboard techniques (airs, grabs etc...) with Skiing.

The snowboard shots ruled.

And they ended with the 150 mile an hour run, correct?

Showing those people wipe out at 140 + mph was neat too.

hehehe

drunkdollars · 12-01-2002, 12:53 AM

Fletch XXX · 12-01-2002, 12:54 AM

If you board then Brighton in Utah is the best place to go. I've been there at least 20 times. They have a park with rails and half pipe and is a must. Our snow is the best in the world.
