Last weekend i went to Les 2 Alpes to the "Mondial du Snowboard".. where you could test all the hard gear (boards, bindings) and some soft gear (boots, clothing, goggles, etc.). We went only for 1 day, but the weather was great, sunny and nice temperature all day long. And the snow conditions were better than expected.
After snowboarding for the whole day, we stayed to watch Burton's "Highway to Rail" contest, there were some pretty sick riders out there.
Anyway, nice first day of riding of the season.. i hope there are some more like this one coming.
