I'm just a guy in his mid 30's trying to learn tricks he should have learnt when he was 15, so for that they're useful.
Conditions related, man Saturday was great - a spring day 3 seasons in the making! With 2020 being robbed by Covid and 2019 having generally disappointing (cold) spring conditions, that was the best day since Shake the Lake 2018!

Saturday was amazing I agree! I guess I wasn't exactly direct with what I was looking for information wise.
I am wondering how long these sore tailbones usually last? It's been about 2 weeks for me and it hasn't gotten much better in terms of being in that position to put on bindings etc. Wondering if any experienced borders have any stretches or treatment that may help?
I am also in my 30's, getting back into snowboarding and have LOVED every aspect of it this year again. Kicking myself for taking a few years off and now I can't get off the mountain.
I've got a dilemma in the sense I have a Sunshine seasons pass, the weather looks amazing, I just purchased a brand new 2021 Burton Custom that I haven't used, a BUM tailbone, convinced multiple friends to buy spring passes.
Ironically if I want to be able to actually go out for the remainder of the season, I may have to switch to skiing!! I haven't probably skied in 20 years. Ever since the war of the 90's I switched and I haven't looked back. Now you go to the hill and you see skiers looking like boarders, boarders looking like skiers. It's nuts out there.
Either way, have lot's of fun out there and be safe!
