Fukked up to think that it's Mid February in Wisconsin and it's looking like winter is pretty much over with the forecast being mostly above freezing temps and dry. Looks like I'm not getting a single pow day this year.

Not to get too dramatic, but I'm not sure I can continue to put this much mental/emotional/monetary investment into this when winter continually barely shows up and I'm not even getting to ride the few days I can escape.

I feel you, the last season I got ZERO snowboarding days for not snowing and high temperatures.
I decided that I wasn't going to the mountains if there wasn't for the right/acceptable conditions.
This is also my way for this winter and for the years coming.

I take it for what it is, and I'm trying to enjoy the days I'm on the mountains.

In the past years, I was able to get from 20 to 25 days per season (I don't live on the mountains, I'm basically a weekend warrior with few snowboard travel here and there), then, when covid kicked in I basically stopped riding for 2 seasons.
This winter I don't know if I'll be able to get 10 snowboarding days... My life also changed a bit, and I have different things to do, but what affect me the most are the condition (lack of snow and high temperatures).

So, about the monetary thing, I'm with you, I don't spend the same amount of money I used to spend on boards, bindings etc...
I'm on the same 3 boards for few years, and now I'm down to one pair of bindings. Now I'm trying to dial in my setup as good as I can.

Of course, snowboarding is great, is fun, but my biggest concern is for the climate change

Hate to be that guy after the above topic, but..

We received 39" the week I was gone (through Sunday) - upon reopening yesterday they had 20" new on top of that, 9" more for today, and looks like up to 8" more through Friday night. Yeesh.

we actually had a pretty decent main season just a few hours west, too.

well, until tuesday this week, 40 degrees the week leading up, and then a full day of rain, followed by temps dropping back below freezing again.

My brother, my oldest nephew, and myself scored a couple of rad 20cm days last weekend at Shames that both felt way deeper. I didn't get any good pics but got a few fun little clips. Here's my brother in a .gif since I don't know how to post video.

Shames is a place I wanna visit... Sidecountry there is supposed to be unreal

looks like this storm is coming for all of us (and I get to drive through out to Montana on Tuesday ).

winter’s back baybee.

Fun day jumping, bashing & crashing. Friend Kyle was on his '92 asym air complete, shredding. Bright orange is Rainery. Might wait until after tomorrow, but working on an edit.

After today, we hit 96" of snow in the last ~3 weeks....
