geared up.

With the exception of actually going to purchase my season pass, I am officially geared up to hit the slopes and practice not falling on my bum. Last night culminated in the pushing of "Submit Order" on sierrasnowboard.com and purchasing the 2007 Palmer Touch. Parsing through the easily concocted spec set, the board is boasted to be "easy to control, smooth and forgiving... support[ing] your own pace anywhere you ride".

All I have to say is fabulous.

I also purchased boots and bindings last week from Milosport, easily one of the nicest board shops in SLC, at least compared to Salty Peaks. The dude who helped me out gave me a nice discout and made sure to get me what I wanted instead of trying to sell me top of the line items for full price. A good salesman though, he made sure to give us the specs on all of the top of the line items, while politely tightening my boots and getting me my discout bindings.

Both are Solomon brand and, while I can only speak for the boots, they are comfortable as heck and I cant wait to try them out.

As luck would have it Drew was able to find his Custom Burton for half price at Milo as well. It was so nice to see him so happy. Hes searched far and www.wide.com for this board in his size and the adventure to find him a board for the price and quality that he desired ended with the salesman committing to 50% off. Deal. Beyond being equipped with the top whatever premier snowboard technology out there, its pretty to look at.



a deal indeed.

officially geared up and ready to go. woo hoo for credit cards.
