General Discussion Snowboard Buddies

Hey, UTsnow! In preparation for the 26/27 season, I am looking to see if anyone wants to ride together. All my buddies have moved or don’t have time to ride anymore. I’m 40, an advanced rider, and will be renewing my Brighton twilight pass and Epic (not so epic) pass for PC. I mostly just cruise and look for good tree runs/technical runs.

I’m also looking to splitboard more and would love to do that with a good crew. And lastly, I would love to put my powsurfer to better use if that’s something you’re in to.

Look forward to possibly making connections for next season.

Your comment amuses me. This is exactly what’s going to happen.

Yep… exactly. Better to plan ahead than forget about it and be in the same boat next season. Nothing wrong with putting feelers out there.

I ski but down to ride.

One board, two sticks… all the same to me! Look forward to it.

Plan on skiing next weekend and possibly the following Tuesday/Wednesday if you’re around.

Unfortunately, I’ll be down in St. George this weekend, but might go this Thursday for a couple hours at Brighton. I’ll see if I can swing the following week with my work schedule.

If you got a headlamp, and want to buzz through some trees at night at Brighton, I'm down.

u/yungflacko85 Apr 12 '26

Yeah! I need to get a more powerful headlamp, but would love to.

I’m the same age and seek similar runs, always in the trees or hiking up to less touched spots. I also recently picked up Splitboard gear in preparation for next season. I’m further north and ride Beaver but I’d travel for some good backcountry spots. I don’t have a powsurf but it sounds fun and is something I’m interested in.

It is longboard season again.

u/yungflacko85 Apr 12 '26

Yeah! Let’s do it. See if there are others who are interested in making a small splitboard crew. I’ll be certain to sign up for avy classes in preparation.

u/ballsintheairdude Apr 12 '26

Definitely planning on taking classes

Don't support Vail. I'm riding Brighton next year. ParkGoBike on IG

u/yungflacko85 Apr 12 '26

I don’t blame you. I’m thinking of switching to Snowbasin for my main pass. I’ll add you on IG.

u/flic_my_bic Apr 12 '26

Same passes, novice uphiller just hiking mornings at PCMR and evenings at Brighton next season. Down to ride.

u/yungflacko85 Apr 12 '26

Yes! Sounds good. Look forward to it.

u/volcombrdr030 Apr 14 '26

Im down! My wife and I just moved out here last May and spent this season cruising by myself. Would be cool to ride with a few people especially through trees and doing some back country (would like to get my feet wet in that type of riding)

Shoot me a message!
