I get to go to South Lake Tahoe and snowboard Ski Heavenly this spring break and I have snowboarded once before at crappy ruidosa. Any tips or info.

I didn't really like Heavenly that much compared to the other resorts around Tahoe.. I think because mainly the whole side of the Nevada side is unskiable, you have to take that stupid gondola back down to the street. But the park was extra sick, lots of rails and boxes to hit..

I hit the super pipe at heavenly over a week ago. its friggin huge!!! the park rat who worked their said it was the biggest pipe in america right now. The walls must have been 30+ feet high. I could only get about 3 ft out of the pipe since i didnt have enough speed to pump up the walls. Dropping in was like a small cliff drop Laughing

stompin9s, well since you only did it once it seemed hard. keep riding it and it will get easier like anything else. if you can dedicate a day of riding to the pipe you'll prob improve a lot in just one day. Pipe is all about keeping your speed, so figuring out the right angle to hit the walls, and which angle to land at makes a huge difference. i'd have to see you ride to really give you any more tips.

Alpine meadows is pretty sick to. I rode the superpipe at kirkwood a couple seasons ago , that pipe was huge, scary as hell and really fun Very Happy
