Bet it doesn't apply if you already have a Member discount though.  Anybody checked on this yet?

DAMN! i checked.. and you are right :(. It does not work in addition to Member Points rewards. :( bummer! So yes, if your regular discount is >10%, then by all means, use it. I'm kinda bummed now! Was totally gonna buy a board on payday tomorrow.. but since my discount is the same, I'll just wait til my member points increase.

^Disappointing.  That bonus 10% tricked me into shopping some more, but now I feel no rush again.

TruSnow better step up their game.  10% off is nothing.

Originally posted by julius77 Back in the days of Sierra Snow, yes. These days probably not. It was great while it lasted. Sierra boards 70% off, Stunts for $99. I still kick myself for not pulling the trigger on that stunt.

I remember those days. That's the reason I have too much gear. Haven't bought much since. I wait till cyber Monday or end of season.

Did a radiator job at work on a Chrysler in 30 minutes, documented labour time for it charged to the customer was 2.5 hours. Chrysler was generous enough to give me, free of charge, a nice assortment of cuts, bruises, and other redness on my forearms.

i cant help but always do my homework at the last minute... 

Just got a job offer at PC to be a lift op.  Now to decide if that's something I actually want to do all winter..

 Started a new project yesterday    12 ft garage walls = PITA

I might be wrong, but that just seems like a bad job.  I guess your days off would be fun, but I don't understand working at a resort and just watching other people ride the lift all day.  It would drive me nuts.

Apart from being outside constantly when it's ridiculously cold out (obviously depending on where and in what country you're working), being a lifty is one of the best jobs out there. They generally work in a three man rotation on the lifts - one on the bottom, one up the top and one on a 20 minute ride break, and then they rotate on from there. You're riding literally every day of the season if you are riding every one of your days off.
That definitely doesn't sound like an average job to me.

My white pants are still white after two seasons. The trick? Use them during the prime of the season, never in springtime conditions.

Got some light grey pants with no stains. I just spray a little scotch guard. Seems to work cuz I've had these for at least 5 seasons.

Question for everyone while I'm having breakfast: has Cap'n Crunch ever been pictured on a boat? What is he captain of?? Food for thought.

I still kick myself for not pulling the trigger on that stunt. Stunts for $99 !?!? I don't believe you. How much was the reverse crew then?

The stunts were $99 when Sierra moved their warehouse from sac to Minnesoda. I think they were trying to lighten their inventory. RC's back then were 70% off, plus my member discount made it about $180.

^^^I only remember the date because it was cinco de mayo. But Ma5 5 last year the stunts had a one day only sale of $99. I wish I would have snagged one. I mean it wouldnt be a go to board for me but 100 bucks why not

Originally posted by lightning80 I just wear black pants so I don't have to worry about it looking dirty.

Things feel kinda weird here now.
