Snowboard Films

 

This time of year I get super antsy. That fresh scent of impending snow makes the anticipation almost unbearable. I only make it worse by digging out all the old snowboard films and of course buying tickets to see the new ones. One of my favorites is Lame. A Film by Robotfood.

 

 

Which snowboard films get you psyched up for the season?

    The Warren Miller movies always get me excited for the snow season.  I thinks the showing is this month if I remember correctly.

     

     

     

     

     

    Where do you usually so snowboarding?

    Yeah, I grew up watching Warren Miller Films with my family every year. Then I moved to Colorado for 8 years and in Vail for  4. This was always my favorite time of year...right before the comotion (and snow) hit. Then it was just mayhem (and hopefully powder) for 4 or 5 months.

     

     

    Now I am out in california and I try to get back to Colorado each winter but I also hope to get to Tahoe this year. Where do you ride?

    I live in the Phoenix area so the closest place is uasually Snowbowl (2+ hours) or Sunrise (4+ hours) away.   Sunrise is worth the drive if you can go two days in a row.  I usually vacation in Utah during Christmas and spring break.  The snow and terance are great just like Colorado. 

     

     

    I have always had a dream to go to Telluride, every year I say that I'm going but it never works out.

    Hey Active Belle

     

     

    We got snow here in Arizona.  It's not enough to ski on but its a start.   I want to do a ski trip to Lake Tahoe and want to do a diffrent resort other than Heavely.  Any suggestions?

    I am new to the area so this will be my first season here, but I've heard great things about Alpine Meadows, Kirkwood and Squaw Valley.

    Have you every heard any good things about Sugar Bowl?  They have a lot of advanced runs and a fair amount of annual snow fall.

     

     

     

     

     

    Check out the interactive ski map.  http://sugar2.sugarbowl.com/trailmaps/sugarbowlmap.swf

     

     

    Can't wait to get on the slopes!!
