Sorry if this is really just a bit random. But I'm just testing the waters and saying hello! I thought it would be nice to open with a question though. I hope that's ok?!
I have been here before, but never really hung around. I'm looking out for cool people to muse over the coolest sport there is, so I thought this would be a good starting place, so please be nice 
Nice to meet you all
Just so you know a bit about me, I'm a late twenties boarder of, ummm, 5 years now (scary!). I ride a K2 Zeppelin which I love with all my heart, on Burton Cartel bindings with Van boots.
My biggest, best and proudest snowboarding moment was Delirium Dive at Sunshine village back in '08  It was immense - so come on, what was yours? |

A heavily covered powderyish blue run in Les Arcs earlier this year. (I'm pretty new to snowboarding)
Ear to ear grin, as it all felt like it was coming together a little bit, the sun was shining and the snow was immense. |

Good question, and welcome
For me top moments are:
Getting first bit of (Tiny!) air when riding for the first time on snow at Glenshee
First real bluebird powder runs down a face above Meribel
NUmerous times whilst spending a season in Whistler, but perhaps mostly riding in Spring, either riding the Blackcomb glacier on the last day of opening for the winter in blue skies in just a t-shirt, sharing a beer and a chat with friends up there, or just late spring / summer days on Whistler lapping the halfpipe and the park with friends
Cruising around and landing my first bs 360 (Again very small!) whilst on a riding / roadtrip round California |

Wide tree-lined chute in Morzine 2004, was a powder day, beautiful snow but pretty much a white out, then the trees came, you could see where you were going, and had the best minute of my life, let alone just snowboarding.
Also surviving a 15 foot rock drop onto a flat piste last week in Meribel, I had no idea it was there until I was in the air, landed but compression was so big I kneed myself in the face, then tumbled down the other side. Injury free tho, must have strong knees! |

| me too- i spent the first two days of my holiday trying to falling leaf and failing to turn massively, a massive dump and awful conditions led us onto the green slopes at the bottom of the mountain which were covered in fresh snow- and that day i rode my first powder(ish), did my first link turn did my first kicker and the next day did my first box in the snow park. That was my favourite 24 hours |

Hey buddy
I've done the delerium dive at sunshine on a bluebird day waist deep in pow. Was a brillant run and made me think it's one of those moments your glad your alive to experience something like that. Although that was beaten this year when I did a 40ftr jump and landed it without killing myself
sunshine and lake louise is a cool place |
