lepiolet Posted May 16, 2001 Posted May 16, 2001 I agree with the Camp Hazard glissade especially from above the Hourglass down to the Nisqually, even in later season, when the snows to the sides are gone, the glissade run is still good (just stay IN the chute! Ouch!) My other favorite is Mt Elinor. Quote
catbirdseat Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 I used to live for glissades, but now that I know how things can go tragically out of control, I'm a lot more careful about glissading and don't do it as much. Quote
Norman_Clyde Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 They're snowboards called Glissades. Boards are better than buttocks as a sliding surface IMO. Quote
bobbyperu Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 glissade snowboards pretty much rule the day...i'm rockin a 68 biggun, and it shreds real good...the 75 is pretty boss as well, specially when it gets deep. that said, i'll be smashing yer stash to peices this winter just a heads up Quote

EWolfe Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 However, carrying a glissade board on a 5.9 chimney so you can enjoy the ride down, is a guaranteed buzzkill. Quote
olyclimber Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 The glissade is something one must judge, like a fine wine. Don't drink it if its to too young or too old. Â If you've never had a good one, then I guess you can't appreciate. Quote

lancegranite Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Just talked to my guy inside, they are going to be making small batches with changing graffics instead of whole production runs. Quote
slaphappy Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I also have an 85, a 68 Big Gun and the Tex Davenport sig model, best boards out there by far. Â Now if I can just get them to make me a split with inside edges outta a 68 Big Gun I would truly be in bliss. Â Lance, if you got connections hook me up!!! I'll take you out to the best stashes on my RMK900 when you're up here Quote
lancegranite Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Mrs G. is working on graffics for them, hopefully they like the work and hook it up!!!...for me. Quote
