Bad News...

...my laptop has died. I'm in the process of getting it fixed or getting a new one, so I won't be able to update much until that problem has been solved :(

As for some good news, Beech Mountain is getting DUMPED on as I type this. Lots of fluffy pow to enjoy in the morning.

Much love & happy shredding!!

Update

Cheers to a new year, new friends, and new experiences. It's been a while since I've blogged so I figured I'd let everyone know what's happenin' on the mountain!

A couple weeks into the season I took a spill on the rainbow box and banged my shin up pretty good. I can still ride, but I'm holding off on any park riding until it gets a little better. Don't wanna risk making it worse.

Holiday season has come and almost gone. Beech has been SUPER busy and as a result ski school has sold a ton of lessons, which is good for me because that means $$$! I'm saving up to take my AASI Level 1 in February. Maybe after I get that 'certification' then Dustin and I can close the season out at a different mountain.

Weather has been very cooperative this season so far. We got dumped on and mother nature left us with a couple feet of powder. The temps have remained below freezing for the most part since that storm so we still have a ton of snow everywhere, plus it snowed a few inches last night :) I love snow. Just not subzero temperatures.

The 3rd Rail Jam is coming back on Jan 23rd, so if you're in the area, swing by Beech Mountain Resort and check out the fun festivities!

Review: Burton Feelgood 149



So this is what I will be riding quite a bit this season - 2009 Burton Feelgood. It's paired with 2009 Burton Escapades.

I've gotten a few days of riding in on it, so I figured I might as well do a review on this board!


Weight: This board is definitely one of the lightest boards I've ridden. Light swing weight makes spinning a breeze!

Edge hold: I've ridden this board on hard packed snow, light pow, and slush, and I have to say that it holds an edge extremely well on almost any snow condition. Carving on this board is SO fun!

Pop: Doing an ollie with this board is as easy as cake. Definitely good for jumps.

Flex: Not as soft as my Blender, but not stiff either. This board has a medium flex, making it very stable at high speeds but yet pressable at the same time.

I love the graphics and it's an all round awesome board. I would not recommend this board for beginners, but it's perfect for intermediate to advanced riders who want to progress their skills and have a board that will keep up as well.
