snowboard convention in LA

Who's been to this? Is it any good?

Also, do you really get a free lift ticket to big bear with no restrictions?

If you're looking for nice gears for cheap, it's worth a look.

The free lift ticket is a weekday only pass, and you get it after filling some form for some BS contest whatever it is. There are a lot of vendors there, but a lot of the stuff is no better than stuff you can find at SportMart or discount sporting goods stores. There is some good stuff though, but the prices aren't any better than what you can find online or on sale at speciality shops.

I just go for the tickets. Parking is 10$ though!!!!!Park somewhere outside.

There are restrictions on the tickets... you have 4 different options. Go check out skidazzle.com, it tells all.

Anyways, I plan on going primarily for the free lift ticket. I'll probably get a snowboard backpack and wax while I'm there though.

I went to Ski Dazzle this year -- my very first time.

I did not leave disappointed. I got a snowboard, boots, Ride bindings, burton gloves all for around $230.

To get my free lift ticket, all I had to do was give the upper portion of my Ski Dazzle ticket -- no filling out forms, or anything silly like that. Just FYI -- it's an unlimited week day-lift ticket until December 17, after that, you have different choices on how to use it; It's still a great deal for the $15 fee.

They literally have so many things to see there and it caters to both snowboarders and skiers, alike. Next year, I wouldn't hesitate to go again.

p.s.,
The margaritas were yummy, too!

Vivid? As in boards with risque or questionable graphics? If so, yes. My guy friends were ogling over those boards. :roll:
