Test rode a 146 Nug yesterday - finally - and bought one at the end of the day!
Went for the hideous graphics of the Meateaters Nug that you can only get in shops. It's ugly as hell.
I usually ride my 159W 2010 Joystick. The Nug was unreal. Any of you ridden one? The Burton rep suggested the 146, never thought I'd go that small. But damn, what a board. Totally different pop in the tail, easier to butter, lighter, super fun. Tons of control at speed, turned sharp too. I'm so happy I bought it. Love my Joystick and will still ride it plenty, but feel like I'll progress even more with the Nug.
- sweet buddy, sometime uglier is better. if it unlocks hidden levels in your riding then you're stoked.prophetone
- I've been meaning to ride one for a review, I always hear good things about the NUGMSTRPLN
- would you recommend this to someone with little experience in powder? looks like it's easier to control for some reasonMiguex

So that place I mentioned on the previous page called Mt. Bohemia up in the Michigan UP - we're all set to go next weekend!
They've already had 124 inches of snow this year! 20 inches in the last 48 hours. All glorious lake effect snow from Lake Superior. I can't f'ing wait.

Got something for everyone to do if interested:
Put together a 10 - 15 song playlist that's your ideal riding music. I'm talking the music that would make the difference in you trying something challenging if you had it on your headphones. After last season I can't imagine riding without music. When I was in Breck it made a huge difference on steep stuff, just made the day perfect.
So, interested to see what some of you like to ride to. My usual playlists have lots of: M83, Mogwai (fast stuff) Telefon Tel Aviv, White Lies, Tycho, Daft Punk, Chrystal Castles, The Dead Weather, my friend's band Bible of the Devil, Band of Horses, Black Rebel, DFA1979, Editors, Hum, The Killers, Muse...

Go be inspired. This is the new Xavier De Le Rue movie "This Is My Winter." Mind blowing.

One of my friends is getting a long weekend trip together Feb 3 - 6 to a place way the hell north of Chicago in the Michigan Upper Peninsula, called Mt. Bohemia.
People call it the best backcountry skiing / boarding east of the Rockies. It's like a 9 hour drive at least from here. Middle of nowhere. Built on the side of an old dormant volcano, 1,000 feet of vertical drop, some cliffs, two chair lifts, avg snowfall 270", no grooming.
You sleep in yurts and it's supposed to be an amazing time.
