Haha. I guess when I say fairly cheap, I mean $200 down from $400

In other exciting news, bring on next weekend. Hotham is meant to be getting snow all week, stopping just in time for a nice little weekend trip

Interesting.

I had a Naked fire-girl airbrushed onto the top of my first board. Rode with it for 2 seasons. Nobody seemed to care.

Its pretty miserable up here at the moment, Windy, Low Vis, and not snowing...

If the weather is going to be shite, at least let there be snow.
If its not snowing, it should be Sunny

.

Jeebus, I've turned into a massive fair-weather snowsporter. Shame on me.

I'd probably be out in just about anything atm... I may have missed the snow a little over summer and this will be my first time up this year. Plus last year was oh-so-shit.

Have some liquid images goggles up today for $150.

At least this way you don't look as ridonkulous as those with the appendage-mounts on their heads.

A mate just bought a pair, will be interesting to see how they hold up.

I don't know, those are pretty weird looking goggles.

I need to stop looking at snowboard boots online, otherwise i'll find myself a few hundred poorer

Hilarious. I went up to Baw Baw and I saw the same jacket I was wearing on the rack when I was getting my lift pass. The price was $30 cheaper. That never happens

Baw Baw is good for day trips atm. I rented a board though because there are a few exposed rocks and I'd rather the rental cop them

. There's only two lifts open but it wasn't too bad just messing around all the way down.

There is more of them about this year than any year previously.

I saw someone stack it hard today trying to film himself skiing with a gopro-on-a-pole. Checked to make sure he was OK, before riding off laughing to myself.

I've seen mounts that look almost exactly like this. (PNSFW)

I don't think I'd buy boots online, unless I'd been able to try them on in a shop first. The are a make or break item, and ill fitting boots can ruin a good day. When I bought my new boots, I even went out and strapped myself in to make sure that I'd get no weird pressure points with the forward lean on my highbacks.

Yeah, I dropped by STM tonight. Was after a pair of 32 Lashed FTs, but they didn't have any size 10.5s in stock. Tried on a pair of 32 TM-twos and a Burton Hail, but I have my heart set of the Lashed so they're going to ring the supplier and see if they can order a pair in for me.

Hmm, which colour should I get ...

Just bought a $500 package from trusnow. Can't wait to get my Lamar Blazer. Stokkkkeeed

PabloEscobar · 20th July 2012, 5:45 PM

Finally a fine weekend forecast.

yesterday/today were bluebird, but haven't been out of the fog/rain/sleet/wind for about 10 days before that.

Should be a good weekend for all

, decent snow, clear nights, cold weather.

You mean, retailers cannot ship Rossignol gear to addresses outside of the US?

Because PriceUSA exists

nordica-k2 · 23rd July 2012, 10:29 PM

I'm seeing a lot of people buying multiple boards and yet buy a pair of bindings to go with each.. even if they're all freestyle/freeride, is there a reason they don't just re-use the bindings on new boards-? Given that the bindings are still intact and the right mounting type
