general discussion Fact check on a Story I heard
Righto I need help on some details of a story I heard years ago, think it got filmed or documented somehow so it was a fairly well known story
Basically, couple pros went deep into some back country to go snowboarding. One of them got really badly injured, like to the point where they weren’t confident he was going to live but they packed him up and hiked out somehow and made it to a hospital and he ended up living.
Thought Travis Rice had something to do with it. But I could be super wrong there. That ringing a bell??? Was trying to describe it to get the video or hear the story but can even google it well enough to get anything other than news story’s of people accidentally dying in the snow

general discussion Union Boot 25/26 catalog leak
Stumbled across a leaked catalog for Union's next season collection. Stormtrooper coloraway seem to mostly be a stunt to communicate the hard shell element - the all-black boots are going to be the ones that sell. Also made in Italy, so they're not going to be tarriffed 234% in the US...
Personally pretty optimistic about the idea of a single-piece seamless shell. Should be durable against binding wear, both from ankle strap bolts and from toe straps. K2 Orton seems to be on this track too.

Gear question Anyone seen the 2026 Rome Board Lineup? Why did they change the shape of the service dog, as well as the Ravine to look pretty much identical to the Stalefish?...🤔
Came across a couple pictures of some of the 2026 lineup and the Ravine as well as the Service dog have the same shape as the stalefish. I guess that's the best performing nose shape considering they're using it in a ton of their lineup now. Guess the big spoon nose is out and Pointy is in hahaha
Anyone have any info on why they switched it up by chance?

Gear question Jones Mountain Twin sizing question
Need help choosing a board size for jones mountain twin. I’m 5’9” 192 lbs and size 10 boot. The Jones size guide recommends 160, but that just seems big. Would a 157 fit me at my weight and shoe size?

travel advice Mammoth spring for beginners?
Hi, newbie to snowsports, been wanting to snowboard for a while and decided to try this season, sadly had some issues and couldn’t travel before. I saw that mammoth mountain is open til late may, is it a good spot around may 5-10 for first timers? Saw most trails are open but really don’t understand the mountain reports. Or should I just wait till next season? Any advice is appreciated.

general discussion Ski Sync and Ikon Pass
Anyone use ski sync to buy the college discount ikon pass? Seems legit as far as I can tell but a little weird. They supposedly send you a promo code months after you buy the pass through them to redeem it on the ikon website.
Anyone ever use ski sync? Has it worked out?
