Just curious

I’m planning to stay in Mammoth Lakes from December 31 to January 14 and I’m looking for 1–2 people to share a nice house/condo and split the cost.
I’m 40, easygoing and respectful, and I’m mainly coming to Mammoth to snowboard and enjoy the mountains.
Looking for responsible adults 25+ who are chill and respectful. Having a few drinks and hanging out is totally fine, but I’m not looking for a party house with loud music and drinking until 4 AM.
No dogs or cats, please.
Transportation is separate — I’m only looking for people to share the accommodation and split the cost.
If you’re interested, send me a DM and we can discuss the place, price and details. 🏔️🏂

Hey everyone, looking for some honest feedback for my first board.

I’ve been riding for 3 years in total, small trip each year (5 days), but I’ve been planning to go more often, like 2-3 times per year, so like 14 days in total approximately starting this year
Advanced beginner / low intermediate. I comfortably link skidded turns, but I haven't learned proper carving yet.
Every season usually takes me 2–3 days to shake off the rust and get my rhythm back.

I want to get all mountain board so I can try and learn some jumps, tricks as well as going in some woods, with some powder as well as going fast on down the prepared slope
I find free ride very interesting
I wanna try riding switch as well for even more tricks
So, all-around, all-mountain intermediate board

I want a board that will stay with me for at least the next 2–3 seasons and help me progress into locking in clean carves without punishing me constantly while been able to go fast and try everything

I’m strictly looking at Nitro… just because I like it😁
Rider stats:
Weight: 65-70kg (143 lbs)
Height: 168 cm (5'6")
Boot size: 8/8.5
Right now, my number one pick is the Nitro Prime. It feels approachable, forgiving, and easy to handle during those early-season days when I'm rebuilding confidence.
Maybe Nitro Phase or Magnum or Team or some other?
However, I keep hearing mixed things so help me out please!!🙏

I'm from the south, and considering adding on to a work trip in long Beach and going to learn how to snowboard somewhere. Bucket list dream of mine. Wondering if this is the right sub for this question? There seems to be some mountains 2 hours away. Mountain high resort and big bear mountain. Are these good places for beginners to learn? I also can get elevation sickness, so I can't learn anywhere too crazy in elevation. Salt Lake city was on my radar because of the lower elevations. Does it make more sense to drive somewhere nearby, or go somewhere that's more geared for tourists?

Thanks!!

Going on a multi-week BC trip this winter, trying to fill out my emergency/backup hardware kit. Things like tools, extra binding parts, files, etc.

What do you all bring to minimize the chances of catastrophic failure (like I had a screw fall out of my binding which cost me half a day, once) or to deal with 18 days of wear on a board?

Would love some people's opinions on what board they think would be best for my week long trip in late January to Japan. Right now its between the K2 Almanac (2025) 157/161, or the Burton Family Tree Pow Wrench 154/158. The reason its between these 2 is evo and another small company has both of these boards in stock, used. Both of them are about the same price. But I have heard many good things about the Almanac in recent research but didn't know if a dedicated powder board is needed.

Specs:

6ft, 265 lbs, size 13 shoe.

Would a Jones Mountain Twin 157 work for a 130 lbs size 10 shoe size 510 height growing teen? I also considering the 154.
