Freeride Snowboarding

I picked up a Burton Craig Kelly Air in amazing (hardly used) condition. What an amazing board, rides like nothing else, totally love it. http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o305/Jetpilot3/CraigKellyMysteryAir.jpg

Agree about he rear entry. Have been using my Flow Pro C's for ages. Still great! New for 2013 NX2's look pretty decent too. But rear entry definitey isn't for everyone. Like Digital Underground says, "Dowhatchalyke!" ;o)

I've confined my snowboarding trips to mountains within a couple of hours of montreal but still had some really good times at Mont st-anne, tremblant, jay peak, and Sutton! next goal is to head out west to BC for Whi...

My personal favorite is Wolf Creek! its a beautiful place and such great terrain to ride :) its not to big, and its cozy. Love it up there!

Hinterglem at Austria, wonderfull!!

Whistler!!!!

I love Fernie BC.  Its a small Ski Town with an Awesome Mountain that has 5 legendary Bowls and I experienced the Best POW in my life. Going to Chile to ski next year and hopefully I find some better Mountains whe...

I ride rear entry bindings at the moment, they have their perks but can also be a right pain in the arse.

The new flows for 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBEoWHgpfZoare a good looking hybrid binding though.

I had a friend who did a season in St. Anton, he seemed to enjoy it. 6 days till im in Tignes now, will try and get some good footage and a few challenges completed.

Went to Mayrhofen a few years ago, which had some lovely wide pistes (good for beginners like me). I was in St. Anton last year, which is a great resort but a lot of the pistes got very narrow in places, and all of t...

Heard Val D'Isere and Tignes were really good boarder resorts - planning on trying to get a last minute deal out there in a couple of weeks' time... Let's hope the snow stays good!

nice

Great tips @mittens.  Thanks.

Avoid rear entry bindings like the plague.

I ride Rome 390s on my all mountain board, they are solid, not too heavy & have never let me down.

On my park board I ride flux bindings, they have great rigidity but also flex where you need it for twe...

Tremblant, Canada - amazing :)

On a mountain with lots of snow. If I have to pick so far I'd say Les Arcs or maybe Val D'Isere, but I've got plenty of travelling left to do.

Opinions differ on which type of bindings is the most convenient or safe. Strap, Rear-entry, ... bindings, which ones are your favorites?

France, Switzerland, Italy, Canada, USA, ... What is you favorite spot?

I'm currently in Fernie - Canada.

It's been a mental snowfall season!

Just realised it sounds like I'm bragging about heli-skiing in Russia, I've never actually done it, just would love to.

Hello chaps. Just wondering where people have snowboarded before and where they would recommend to go? Anyone been to any far flung reaches like heli-skiing in Russia?
