First day done. Similar experience to @Kevington here in Romme but colder?

Ah sweet, have a great trip. It was my first time there, was visiting family in Stockholm and took the day trip bus deal. Will give you a shout in advance next time I get up there. Only half the terrain was open the day I was there but it was a fun spot.

Best riding conditions I’ve ever had in Romme this weekend. Pretty shitty usually.

Ready to roll out for the first day on snow this season. The weather hasn't been the best... but hoping for at least some spots of decent snow. The Bubo is a safe pick for the first day but bringing my Pluv, just in case. If daughter manages fine I'll switch her onto her new board after lunch!

Ended up riding the Bubo all day and I made my daughter stay on her old board since she was just nailing it today. She didn't want to go home but my legs were shot... I was whining a lot. Day after tomorrow we're going back and I'll let her try the new board. Nitro Spirit with smaller waist for girls. I'm mounting my Mercury bindings over on my Pluv.

Took a pic last night while riding. Hard to show size on these things. But I'm getting around 15ft on this when I come correct with correct technique.

Day 7 - kind of a slow start this year. However, things are getting there. Carved on the cheater this morning to work out the legs, then hiked a couple ridge laps with Rainery. Was expecting a few inches on crust given recent weather & other conditions, but it was way better. Legit pow runs - seems the crisp nights pulled moisture, rather than freezing. One hike with the cheater, then switched to the orbit.

Started with a beautiful morning (crossing the bridge to the island here)

Took a quick tour at Snoqualmie Pass on Monday, it was beautiful out and my buddy got his Super8 split out for the first time

The descent was bullet proof ice and I came straight home and ordered some baseplate padding for my Spark Hitchhikers, hope it makes a difference!
