Hello!
Having spent the sum total of around 2.5 days snowboarding it would have to be going on my first mountain at Glenshee (previous to that it was snow domes). A proper long run at it and the sun was shining even if it was bloody freezing!
I almost landed my first jump last Sunday....landed, wobbled, fell over. Unfortunately I didn't have a helmet and didn't realise they made you wear one for them so I couldn't have another go. However, I'm getting to the freestyle night this Friday at CFe so intend to give it a good go! |

so tough to pick.
first 360 back in the day maybe.
or
Kicker days in whistler - 5 mates, shovels, ice saws, 3 foot of fresh pow to land in.
either that or mammoth spring 2008 - first 1080 landed and props from the grenade crew who were in the park at the same time. i went straight to the main restaurant at the bottom after landing and they came down saying they were stoked on it. they actually had to ride past the lift to say so before walking back up. best moment on a board and doubt i will ever top it. |

Hey!
Have to say after being on holiday on Pisted runs all the time.... to have my first powder experience here in ENGLAND! That is my most memorable moment of this season.
I was falling off the lift at yad moss..... and hiked to the top. that powder run back to the bottom made the 30 min hike to the top worth EVERY moment. its not often you say that about a hike! lol
Was awesome |

Welcome and good question sure.
Yeah have to say Delerium Dive for me too - first time i did it wasn't even epic ammounts of powder - did it pretty much the first time i went above the treeline at sunshine too - such an epic feeling coming outta the trees there and seeing the whole continental divide.
Tons of others for sure, blue bird pow days, first airs, kickers, spins, and just epic days with real good pals ! Infact most moments im lucky enough to get to spend on my board in the mountains  |

Hey everyone! thanks for answering my lil question, it's been cool to read the responses
from powder days to learner days and a couple of fellow divers
I'll never forget the dive. I did it twice. Once with a guide on a course called "delirium Sunday"- definitely reccommended for anyone who wants to give it a go but is a bit nervous of doing it without knowing what lies in wait!
The second time later the same week, I was the guide for my bro and his bro in law. It had snowed overnight and the walk in was proper dicey! Then got a phone call from work whilst contemplating descent- the scariest support call I've ever taken
amazing stuff though. Hoping to make it for a third time next year when I head back to banff!
I've had some good powder days too. Kopaonik in Serbia was a powderfest for a few days, I got 4 days of no snow and then 1 day of knee deep in Borovets and Jackson Hole in America was just immense for a good 10 days of the two week trip
As for memories of learning- riding a beginners box in week two of my snowboarding life was pretty satisfying, even if I did stack the landing and have a sore bum for the 8 hour flight back from Montreal
Nice to meet you all! |

Awesome question!!
Having done 3 seasons, you can imagine I have so many days of awesome riding, including powder days with bluebird skies, days hanging in the snowpark drink beers and “attempting” kickers and Hütte Rallys (going from Hut to hut on the mountain constantly drinking along the day). But I have to day I think my best day ever was probably the most random ever.
Me and my best mate got up and went riding, the weather was sh!tty (misty and snowing) and we were both a bit delicate from the night before. After a few runs we decided to go take a beer in our favourite hut at the snowpark. We ended up having a couple of beers, just chatting and having a laugh. Some of the parkshapers (who we knew) came to join us and before we knew it we got wasted. Normally the hut closes at 4 when the lifts do but for some reason there was a private party that the owner said we could join. Finally at 7pm (after arriving at about 11am) we left. Just about managing to strap into our board we headed off down the mountain. It was twilight and no longer snowing. There was about 10cm of fresh snow on the piste as we rode. My mate had forgot how to ride as she kept somersaulting ever 50metres, which was hilarious. Until she fell into a ditch on the side of the cattrack, which had us both in hysterics!! I had to go and help her coz she was too drunk to attempt to help herself.
Might sound lame, but for me it would one of my best memories, the best company, awesome twilight, silent as anything, and fresh snow. GOOD TIMES!!  |
