davedinuzzo Posts : 1951 ONLINE	Posted on Feb 28, 2009 Posted by SpecialKalltheway I still don't see how bringing ski's stops you from bringing two boards. Just unmount the bindings and if the problem is you have separate bindings for each board, only bring one set of them and switch them out as needed. I have fit up to 6 boards(without bindings), two sets of bindings, one pair of boots, a helmet, ski pants, jacket, gloves, goggles, mitts...in my board bag. Just think back to playing Tetris when packing and it is all gravy! I don't feel like going back and reading what I already recommended, so if I said it already, just be happy I am not charging you for this info! Breckenridge Brew pub has great food and you can always get a growler to take back to your condo for later for cheap beer and a souvenir all in one! And if you like thai food My Thai is the bomb! oh and if you are planning to do your grocery shopping to save on food it is cheaper to buy your groceries in Denver or even Silverthorne, so if you can stop on the way to breck it would be slightly cheaper. Gas to! don't fill up in Breck make sure you fill up before you get there. I hear you on the groceries thing... we are bringing a GPS and going to find a grocery store and a beer store and pick up supplies in the city before we head towards the resort. As for what boards to bring it just isn't worth bringing 2 boards when I'm only going to snowboard 2 days. I'm not 100% sure which I will bring but I think the best bet is to play it by ear and see what the weather is going to be doing

SpecialKallt... "Intersting Jailbird" Posts : 3585 ONLINE	Posted on Mar 01, 2009 well we will have to agree to disagree on it being worth it or not. I feel if you are spending hundreds of dollars to go shred a mountain in travel, food, liftpasses you should have optimal conditions which on a sunny day with no new snow a park board creates, but on a day where a huge dump came over night a pow board is what makes the conditions optimal. he he he I said "huge dump"
	Hope: everything will be okay in the end. if it is not okay, then it is not the end.

snurfer Posts : 380 ONLINE	Posted on Mar 02, 2009 Posted by davedinuzzo Posted by MadHavok But your park is going to be nothing like what I'm riding everyday at Breckenridge or Keystone. Don't get me wrong, Seven Springs is a super fun place, but Breckenridge is a whole different animal. The snow then is going to be fun in the morning and suck after 12. sooooooooooo bring my 155 park board as opposed to my 158 SLr? if in doubt, I would bring the bigger of the two...even if it's not that much bigger. Plus, you might get some sort of preferential treatment when seen riding neversummer in it's native land, idk

MadHavok Posts : 860 ONLINE	Posted on Mar 02, 2009 Bring your park board unless you feel comfortable jumping/rails with your SL. I rode park last year with a 158 SL and had no trouble and I ride pow to my belt with a 155 Evo-R this year. Just bring whatever you're most comfortable on. Chances are, in mid-April, we won't be getting (much) snow. It's going to be 40-45* and bluebird like today hopefully.

Killclimbz "Backcountry addict" Posts : 4273 OFFLINE	Posted on Mar 03, 2009 Chances are you won't get much snow in April. The thing is when the season starts off slow, April always seems to be a snowy month. Last year it was huge after a slow start. This year was another very slow start, so I wouldn't be surprised if April dumped. Plus, it hasn't really snowed in Denver at all for the last month. Ridiculously warm here today. Over 70 degrees. Everytime we see this sort of weather, usually there is a huge blizzard by the first week of April. Last time, it was a March blizzard that put around 40" in town. Winterpark got 80" out of it and Summit got over 3 ft. It effected the weather patterns so much that we got weekly storms through mid May and had fantastic coverage. Of course it's a different year, but I am just getting that feeling that a big one is just around the corner.
	If there is a more pointless place to argue than the web... I don't know about it.
