I sold a Burton splitboard this week and I am buying a Burton Fish 160. The Fish is what Weez is riding in the backcountry, she has a 156. I am buying my Fish from World Boards ( www.worldboards.com ) in Bozeman, Montana, they are a great mountain snowboard shop on the main street in Bozeman. We have been stopping in there for several years, whenever we are in town. We took a break on our drive out to Mt. Hood, Oregon last summer and stopped there. Saw the board, it is a demo from last year. Well I kept in the back of my pea brain and walla sell one board... add a board. I bought my main powder board from World Boards last year so I guess that makes me a repeat customer. That board is a Burton Malolo 166. The thing rocks in the powder. It's a monster, but you are floating on the powder.

3 weeks till blast off. It has been snowing in all the right places out west, so things should be shaping up for a base. Start rigging up the new sled this week, going thru the packs, new batteries in the avalanche beacons, radios and headlamps. Load up with Power Bars. It would be great to pick up one of the helmet cams for some videos, not in the budget right now, maybe by spring.

Hangin in the Rockies

A person can have all the equipment, but if the body can't keep up... well that is the part I'm plugging in. Working out with plyometrics (jumping up and down and bounding across the room), lifting some barbells to simulate lifting the back end of the sleds. Rowing exercise, dips, push-ups, jump rope, up-hill treadmill - front, back and sideways. Trying to simulate the muscle groups I will be needing over the next 6 months. If you have ever ridden a mountain sled off trail in the powder, it will kick your ass. It can be like riding a bull. Plus the snowshoeing that gets you up higher. I am going to be physically fit... it could save my life. And you can go harder and longer.
