I love how outdoorsy you are. Did you know I almost went to Tofino this weekend? It was all your inspiration.

I was gutted to learn about this sale (at the Boardroom) and that I’d be back up in Ft MacKay during it. I’ve my heart set on my very first snowboard: Burton’s Supermodel. Alas, I shall pay the full price but be a very happy bunny.

Hope you had fun!

I bought all new socks and a few new baselayers, plus a hat or 2 and miscellaneous tools/wax. I also picked up a new Rome Blue in the spring at a really, really deep discount and found a pair of Rome Madison’s in October.

@Chelci – I wanted that Nikita jacket, but I could only find it in a XS. I was a little bummed

@Richard – I am still on the hunt for my my snowboard rack. Any recommendations? I was thinking Thule because it requires less extra lock investments than Yakima, at least I think.

The Boardroom is having a 20% off sale starting tomorrow if you print the coupon from http://www.boardroomshop.com/main/email_letter/09_11_02/index.htm or starting Saturday otherwise.

I’m still trying to track down a new board – if I could find one of the ones on my list I’d buy it immediately. New pants are probably on the list too (but I’ll give that waterproofing wash/spray a go first), gloves are as always (I go through a few pairs a season), but other than that I’m READY!

I even have a new snowboard rack for my car for this season! Now I can cram my car full of people, their junk, and yet not have to worry how the boards are going to fit! More people to ride with! WOOHOO!!! Oh, and no 1.5m knives sitting right behind my neck rest. That’ll be nice.

Oh, and I’m almost-confirmed as signed up for a trip to Sun Peaks at the end of January (the EA trip), and will be possibly looking into other trips too due to not being able to hit up Whistler or Cypress much during the peak of the season. Unfortunately work is going to be crazy busy again at that time, so I won’t be able to do a proper holiday in the interior… just weekend trips.

Allie, I don’t snowboard or really even ski and your photography totally captivates me.

I’m just used to all my gear being Burton Kind of like how my first digicam was Canon so my dSLR is Canon. same goes for my gear, unless you can recommend some brands to look at

I have a $150giftcard for SportChek, so when they start to stock stuff, I’ll have to take a peek in there and see if their boots are any good.

I got this sweet Nikita jacket for this year. I want to get Thirty Two Lashed boots, but Im waiting to see if I can find a good sale or a discount or something! I also got a new helmet, a Bern Muse. They’re killer, safe and super stylish
