This would be sweet to have! Can’t believe I still don’t have a board bag but we usually drive.. Ha! Adrian and I were talking last night about a shred trip, just the two of us. Exciting! Last time it was just us was back in 2008. We want to go somewhere in BC, like maybe some backcountry stuff in Squamish or just go to Whistler or somewhere else in BC. Already am super excited!
September 26th, 2011 at 7:03 am
I’m most excited just to be hitting up Mt. Batchelor this winter. I’m hoping for an epic winter and I can’t wait to be shredding the mountain again.

September 26th, 2011 at 7:37 am
UTAH!!! Went to park city and Canyons last March for the first time ever and can’t wait to do it again. The powder was fresh and even though I got stuck on a lift ALONE for over an hour because of weather conditions the fresh powder that was falling from the sky the whole week I was there made is soooooo worth it!
September 26th, 2011 at 7:53 am
I’m from the UK so we don’t have any huge mountains, this season I’m off to Whistler which will be my first trip outside of Europe… It is going to be epic!
September 26th, 2011 at 8:02 am
The long awaited winter is around the corner. I’ve been boarding for 11 yrs and its my wifes 2nd season and she is really excited to board anywhere else other than big bear and mountain high. We’re planning on goin to utah in december, lake tahoe or reno area in february for her birthday, and mammoth in march. Let the snowfall begin!!!
September 26th, 2011 at 8:20 am
Totally stoked to mountain bike all around the SoCal mountains, but I’m looking at a trip up to either Hood or Mammoth in December! So pumped!!
September 26th, 2011 at 8:26 am
I been travelling around the world for snowboarding and this Winter season, I will stay around Montreal with short trip like Jay Peak and Massif and instead I will like to go in Barriloche, Cirro Cathedral for August 2012 (2 weeks) which is still part of my 2011-2012 snowboarding Season fo the next coming season to finish in beauty. Thanks
September 26th, 2011 at 8:37 am

September 26th, 2011 at 8:50 am
Can’t wait to get out to Jackson Hole in January. It’s my first time out west and I can’t imagine a better place than that right now.
September 26th, 2011 at 9:04 am
Anxious for the season to start. Fresh off minor foot surgery, I want to make this season the most epic yet.
Plans for all that excitement consist of a season at Mount Baker in Washington and putting my avie certs to good use breaking some fresh tracks up Duffy Lake and Zoa in Beautiful British Columbia.
Can’t wait to get me some pow!
September 26th, 2011 at 9:04 am

September 26th, 2011 at 9:06 am
I can’t wait to head to Colorado to visit my friends at SnoMass never boarded off of the East Coast, can’t wait to hit some real powder and sick back country.
September 26th, 2011 at 9:08 am
Just had my cruciate knee ligament reconstructed (wrecked it in Val d’Isere back in Feb), so will be working hard all winter to make sure it’s strong enough for an Easter smash n’ grab back to the scene of the crime on my unused Ride Manic 2012!
September 26th, 2011 at 9:12 am
I’m moving out to Colorado from PA next month and I can’t wait to hit as many resorts as possible, especially Winter Park! It will be my first time out West, and I’m so stoked!
September 26th, 2011 at 9:21 am
Headed to Steamboat for the first time. Can’t wait.
September 26th, 2011 at 9:22 am
Whistler….it’s a long trek from NH but so worth it.
September 26th, 2011 at 9:36 am
jackson hole. I heard when the snow is good it can be one of the best places for steeps and chutes.
September 26th, 2011 at 9:40 am
Heading to Whistler …. only a four hour drive and I go up frequently but it’s the trip in March I’m most excited about because I’m going by myself. No stopping when someone else gets tired. No turning around because the path into the backcountry is too sketchy for them to handle. No hesitation from friends as I charge towards the double blacks.
September 26th, 2011 at 9:58 am
Park City, Utah. Specifically The Canyons. So much snow, and so much terrain. Three days is never enough time.
September 26th, 2011 at 10:14 am
Hopefully heading to see the rockies! Breckenridge, A basin, Keystone…just need a bag to fit my gear and munchies for an epic journey. Hoping to shred with my cousin whose been over seas for a few years. He’s home safe and thankfully the air force put him in Colorado

September 26th, 2011 at 12:15 pm
Really looking forward to crossing the road here in Whistler and heading up the Creekside gondola on opening day! La Nina ftw! 2 painful months of staring out the window at the rain and then it’s on!
September 26th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
being at Dachstein for about 6 months!!! <3
September 26th, 2011 at 12:46 pm
Unfortunately we don’t have any big trips this winter so just the normal Snowbowl trips will have to suffice.
September 26th, 2011 at 1:14 pm
I’m torn…I have 2 trips planned to destinations I’ve never-before visited!! I’ll be going to Big Sky, Montana and then Snowqualmie & Crystal in Washington! I’ve never been to either state before, let alone shred these resorts so they’re both going to be amazing and I’m pumped.
September 26th, 2011 at 1:40 pm

September 26th, 2011 at 3:28 pm

Living and working full time in the UK I have to settle for a week in Europe. We’re going to The Three Valleys in France this year.
September 26th, 2011 at 4:35 pm
I’m really looking forward to my annual pre-christmas trip with my buddy Erik. For the last three seasons, we have gone to a different mountain after my exams but before Christmas. One year it was Kicking Horse, the year after it was Revelstoke, and last year it was Castle. We pretty much determine it the days prior to the trip based on accommodations, snow, etc. It’s definitely a highlight trip and a great way to get some early season tracks.
September 26th, 2011 at 5:20 pm
im so pumped for Colorado this winter! Minnesota rails are fun but its gonna be nice to get some powder!
September 26th, 2011 at 5:52 pm

September 26th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Really stoked to be heading to Park City, Utah in late February.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Mammoth! Can’t wait.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:36 pm

September 26th, 2011 at 7:46 pm
This year for spring break I’m going to visit Big Sky, Montana!

September 26th, 2011 at 8:11 pm

September 26th, 2011 at 8:18 pm

It’s the best mountain riding on the East Coast, and is my highlight every year!
September 26th, 2011 at 9:39 pm

September 27th, 2011 at 4:34 am
VAIL, CO. anyone know where to get lift tix cheap???
September 27th, 2011 at 5:26 am
Baker!
We are spending several months on the West Coast this year, and even with some very large resorts on the roster, lil’ Baker is calling us back. We hit it for the first time ever two years back, and it was instantly obvious why it spawned so many inovators. Back to Baker!
September 27th, 2011 at 8:33 am
Off-piste, virgin pow at Niseko in Hokkaido, Japan this Christmas. Snowboarder’s paradise =)
September 27th, 2011 at 9:18 am
Mammoth! Spend at least a week there every year.
September 27th, 2011 at 10:25 am
A lot of my shred trips are spontaneous, but the more probably ones are a quick trip to Jackson Hole and a couple days in Revelstoke-d… Can’t wait for another season of shred!
September 27th, 2011 at 10:45 am
looking forward to a few weekends Sugarloaf in Maine
September 27th, 2011 at 10:45 am
It’ll be my second trip out West this year and I’m so excited to visit Park City in Utah!
September 27th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
I am so stoked for the snowshoe trip I have planned with all of my friends it’s going to be a week long and probably one of the best weekends I have and am going to have in my life. But to be honest I’m just pumped to see that white powder and connect with that mountain.
September 27th, 2011 at 4:49 pm
Not doing any crazy trips, but I am pumped to go on a few trips with my friends and family. Although i may be going on a trip to Telluride, so if that works out i know which bag i (hopefully) will be using!
September 28th, 2011 at 4:45 am
Can’t wait to hit Steamboat this year. Nothing but pow, chutes and beer!
September 28th, 2011 at 4:48 am
hope to hit Mammoth for the first time…. If not, i will go more often with Zillertal 3000
September 28th, 2011 at 5:09 am
this so cal rider is excited and ready for mammoth. last time i was there was about 15 years ago when i was a kid. here’s to the new season
September 28th, 2011 at 10:41 am
The place is only as good as you make it, this year I’m excited to do just that. First year on a college campus and I’ve already scouted out the place at least ten times to find the biggest drop offs best ramps and longest rails. I’m sure I’ll get a season pass and hit up seven springs as well, but there is nothing like making the best of natural park terrain.
September 28th, 2011 at 11:04 am
I am most excited to head to Sugarloaf in January! I’m a newer boarder and cannot wait to check off another mountain on my visited list.
September 28th, 2011 at 11:14 am
I’m going to be spending 7 weeks this winter trying to snowboard 36 of over 70 ski areas in New England, so I am of course looking forward to that. It’s going to be awesome, I can’t wait, and I think I’m driving everyone nuts already by being too excited. =D
September 28th, 2011 at 12:39 pm
Colorado! anywhere in Colorado! and maybe Japan – I always wanted to try radioactive snow!
September 28th, 2011 at 12:50 pm
Really excited to go to Mayrhofen, Austria. GO wild in the Vans Penken Park! Thats what it’s gotta be like!!
September 28th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
Probably co or jackson hole. Moved to Wisconsin recently and there’s no real riding up here…
September 28th, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Can’t wait to hit up Mt. Baker again this season. There’s so much good sidecountry!
September 28th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
Brighton is my home… but I can’t wait to get back on the mountain, wherever it is. I shattered my elbow, lacerated my spleen and bruised my liver and kidney at the end of last season. Needless to say my summer has pretty much sucked. I’m at about 80% now. I might make a trip up to Targhee in February, which is always a treat.
Site looks great as always, way to go Shay!
September 28th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
Loon mountain! Woohoo!
September 29th, 2011 at 9:59 am

September 29th, 2011 at 10:07 am
I couldn’t be more excited about my trip to Moonlight Basin at Big Sky, MT. It was my first big mountain experience and riding through Ram’s Glade keeps me sane in the summertime heat.
September 29th, 2011 at 7:57 pm
Tahoe
September 29th, 2011 at 8:07 pm
1. I’m planning on doing a rocky mountain road trip from San Francisco through Mt Hood, Mt Baker, Big Sky, Jackson Hole, and Salt Lake City and back through Tahoe.
September 29th, 2011 at 8:10 pm
I’m going to Hell in a Ride board bag…hopefully!
September 29th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
Where else Mammoth Mountain!!! its only going to take me about 40 hours in the air to get there, but meeting Shay and the rest of the marketing team at Mammoth will make it worth the trip.
I might even buy the beers.
I won’t bring my old bag, leave her home to look after the kids.
September 29th, 2011 at 8:22 pm
Migrating from Australia up to the powder heaven of Niseko Japan for the season. Can’t wait to head into the backcountry up there!
September 29th, 2011 at 8:23 pm
I’m looking forward to taking a weekend trip to Mt Hood this year! It’ll be a nice break from studying and college.
September 29th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
An east-coaster hopefully making a trip out west to Tahoe, otherwise its Okemo and Sunday River for me!
September 29th, 2011 at 8:55 pm
Hey Everyone! The trip I am most excited about is my new years snowboarding trip with my sister Sam, every year she comes home from Iraq for a few days to be with our family over Christmas. She isn’t in the army anymore but she is still in Iraq working for a private contractor.
She is the one who got me into snowboarding and it was the first thing we ever bonded over. About four years ago my best friend and my boyfriend picked up me Sam on New Years day and we all went out to the mountain. It was the first and last time we were all together. Every year my sister and my boyfriend and I go back to the mountain and snowboard all night and have a drink for our friend Adam. It always snows when we are there, and being on the mountain at night with the lights reminds me of my very first time night snowboarding with Sam, Josh, and Adam. I can’t wait for Sam to come home and hurry back to the mountain. This is the trip I am the most excited about this year! Can’t wait to breath the cold night air and watch the snow falling in the huge bright lights
September 29th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
I look forward to going to Whistler this Christmas! Being in LA I enjoy the park at Mt. High but I would like to experience some real world-class snow this year.
September 29th, 2011 at 9:41 pm
I’m so stoked for my first ever trip to Vail Resorts in Colorado! I live in Washington, and have been snowboarding the local mountains, including Crystal, Stevens, and Baker, and the annual Whistler trip. But Vail?! Yahoo!
And how exciting to be able to keep track of my vertical feet, # of runs made, and uploading photos with #EPICMIX app. I’m banking on the fact that this is going to be another EPIC season.
I want that bag – it will make packing for my trip so convenient!
September 30th, 2011 at 4:34 am
Sick giveaway Shay!
I just planned a Trip to Kicking Horse in Jan. Also have a annual Epic mega long wknd in Massif on the East Coast. I ride a DH normally and figured who better to get his hands on a Ride bag. lol.
Well, i’m stoked for Kicking Horse for sure. Spending 12 days isolated on the mountain. We’ve got out guide money and heli/cat money all banked up. So from now on, its just killing time till January rolls around. Until then, i’ll just keep reading your blogs
September 30th, 2011 at 5:51 am
Looking forward to hitting up my local mountains but super stoked about hitting Mammoth at some point while interviewing for a position at Bridgeport.
Would love a fun trip but the ex has stolen all my money!
September 30th, 2011 at 7:24 am
I’m already counting days on FB. I’m up to 127 days left until the BIG trip in Febr.

September 30th, 2011 at 9:11 am
Not going anywhere big this year. Just stoked to ride my local 6 run hill on my Kink It may be a small one chair hill but to me its paradise as long as there is snow!
September 30th, 2011 at 10:32 am
I am excited to hit up Korea this winter break, Dec 12-31. Pyeongchang resort is gonna be sick. And just being at the mother land will be mind blowing. Can’t wait to hit up the slopes in Asia. I’ll definitely be hitting up my local mountains, Mt High and Bear, before and after my big trip to get myself conditioned.
I hope I get this bag or else I’ll be lugging my boards around bare back all around Asia.
September 30th, 2011 at 1:00 pm
