the best tool to bring with you

[ben418]

a surf wax scraper is the best thing that i broth with me riding last year.
remove ice formation on the grip with out damage and under your boots.
put it in your pocket or with your pass.
super handy.

I need that thing

[freeyourmind]

true that!! I always have one in my pocket!!

a screwdriver/wrench is a good idea too and maybe some extra hardware.

Switching decks and subs requires a collapsible philips (used to use on my snowboard binding thingys) and a 10mm wrench but, for scraping snow I like this highly evolved technologically advanced super snosk8 scraping tool. Where do they come up with this stuff?  If you forget to bring one with you to the mountain privately ask the lunch lady for one.  Lunch ladies love snowskaters and keep these special scrapers around just incase a snowskater brakes, looses, or forgets to bring one.

i second snosk8. plastic knife worked for me last year. also a new technology called a stick has worked in the past. cant buy anything to do with surfing up here.

if you buy short billabong or volcom you get one with it.
there's surf store on line.
it cost 3$
enjoy your knife dudes

again on a powder day the surf tool is so handy for any ice formation & keep the grip in good shape.
try it on a powder day..

Based on a tip from Jake at rocker, we build all the boyd hill stuff with 10 mm bolts, that way the only tool ya gotta bring is a 10 mil. Base bolts and deck bolts n nuts, bam.
Just dont wreck and impale yourself with a 10 mil open end.

been riding 9 powder days so far in to the season. last year a 200 days season.
hiking lots, the surf wax scraper is small ,light & handy.
i'm telling you next to your pass it feel like nothing.
for the 10 mm  there is some everywhere  on the mountain at every lift.
& i have a small tool box on my sled in all time.
if you don't fell like trying it just don't.

got the wax scraper and it works like a charm

[ben418]

what happen to the plastic knife??

a ski guide gave me this one..
a smaller  tool.

[Jesse]

A bag of plastic knives costs 1$ at the buck or two, the scraper was free.
.....theres always backup though. hahah

think earth friendly! no plastic knives, just scrape it of with your gloves for greenpeace's sake!
