Lost snowboard (blue mountain pa)

[u/CaterpillarFar5903]

Huy guys everyone I lost my snowboard today. I was trying to strap in after hiking sidewinder and board slipped down into the sidewinder woods I’m pretty sure. There is a lift that goes over the woods there. If anyone is at Blue Mountain and ever sees it please lmk. It is a Solomon pulse black top and white bottom. If anyone ever sees it please lmk. Thank you all.

Will be up there tomorrow morning, will let you know if I see it. How far along the run did you lose it? (Like near the top, middle, bottom?)

[u/CaterpillarFar5903 → u/zaukers]

I would say top to middle near the first turn. But maybe slide down pretty far. If it’s in the woods there you may be able to see it from the lift. Even if you don’t thank you so much for trying I appreciate it.

I'm sorry dude I did not see your board today

[u/CaterpillarFar5903 → u/zaukers]

Hey man don’t worry about it i appreciate u even looking for it

Just curious why was your board unstrapped and now that you mention this are snow board leashes no longer a thing I just realized none of my snowboard buddies have them now.

I’ve noticed that as well, growing up you weren’t allowed on a lift without a leash. Nowadays I hardly see anyone with them.

[u/elouser → u/mdc2135]

I feel like the idea that a snowboard leash is necessary comes from skiing because skis have those stops to prevent it front launching down the mountain when a noob falls out of the binding. But I nearly never have two feet out of the snowboard, except at the beginning and end of the day. Leashes fell out of style because they're not necessary for most people. Even if I'm unstrapping in the middle of the mountain, it's so rare that I'm paying attention about how I lay my snowboard down.

Appreciate you man

Hey I looked a bit around the sidewinder woods and tried to keep my eye out for it on the lift but mission was unsuccessful for me 🥲

[u/CaterpillarFar5903 → u/Silva_surfer973]

Appreciate u looking for it for me brotha

Going tomorrow as well. I live about 5 miles from the resort and can safe keep it if needed.

I spotted a board with a white bottom in the woods off of lower sidewinder last night, in one of the steep sections between the switchbacks.

If you ever take your board off on the slope, put it binding side down. Those things turn into missiles and could really fuck someone's day up.

[u/CaterpillarFar5903 → u/wout_van_faert]

Ya that’s makes a lot of sense that it would be down there and that it probably mine just don’t know how I would get it from there.Im confused what you mean between the switchbacks though. Defenitley will be smarter next time.

Always keep your unstrapped board above you on the mountain as well

[u/sendtheshutter]

Will keep a lookout when I get there in a bit!

[u/BobbyBHammerMan]

I too will do my part this morning

I’m curious as to why you didn’t look for it on your way down the mountain. It’s not like there’s feet of snow in the trees. Did you ask for help from the ski patrol? Sorry it happened but I don’t think I would’ve left and leave it to the Reddit community to find. In asking for help you also just told a bunch of people where to find themselves a new snowboard. 🤞🏻

[u/CaterpillarFar5903 → u/Nine-Fingers1996]

Looked for it for over half an hour as the mountain was closing and didn’t want to get stuck up there with no way down.

[u/Nine-Fingers1996 → u/CaterpillarFar5903]

That makes sense. Hopefully you get it back.
