You'll need to bring them a school schedule. For those of you who don't go to school....find a friend that is taking more than 12 credits and scan their schedule and change the name and info to yours and you should be good.

Awesome, appreciate the info! Thanks, I'll definitely keep all those places and what to get in mind. I'm pretty excited to go out there for this first time. Hope I don't get too banged up, haha.
no prob man. dont get too discouraged if you fall a lot. everyone goes through the growing pains on the first time or 2.
any NTers looking for a camelbak, heart reate monitors usa is selling mules for $63. just copped one myself, free shipping. no tax (depends on state i guess). would have been nice to actually use mine up there when i went to heavenly a few weeks ago except the water in the damn tube froze

Mt. Rose is pretty good. Plenty of runs for all different skill levels. The higher elevation keeps the snow loose. I never did hit any slush or icy spots. The lift tickets are ok...kinda on the pricey side to me. But not like heavenly. The only thing is the distance. No up and down to Mt. Rose.

you on a Burton Custom PW?
Monday or Tuesday, can't remember, but this was after the weekend storm. Weather started warming up on Tuesday, made for nice, soft snow conditions but not quite slush.
*this is my friend. I do not ski nor look as kooky as my friend here.
** Edit: This was Northstar btw

No size 10? I wear 11 in sneakers but got 9.5 for rental and feels a little to snug in toe area. That's why I want a 10 so my toes touch the front with comfort. You guys size down 1 or 1.5?

There's really no rule of thumb on how much one should down size for a pair of snowboard boots. Everyone's feet are different, as well as their preference for how their streets shoe fit. On top of that, just like sneakers, not all brand of snowboard boots fit the same. I wear 10.5 - 11 in street shoes. My current boot is a 10.5 but most other boots I'm a 10.

Surprisingly, that picture was taken monday afternoon. It was still snowing in the morning, but in a matter of an hour or so around noon, the skies completely cleared. wednesday was complete poop (warm and rainy) so we just left without riding that day.
