Well, I don't remember ever getting higher than a "B" in college physics
, so I can't explain either why skis are faster than boards other than obviously it's got something to do with surface area, edge control, and weight distribution
Happy boarding! Oh, just to get back "on" topic of the IS (or Lexus, anyway), what do you think of the "pass-thru"? Do you use it when you go skiing? Or do you drive an SUV? I don't use my IS for skiing (got an SUV), although I have used the pass-thru for a mop once. The GS comes with a pass-thru too, right?

And yes, the GS has a narrow pass-thru for skis, but no way can it accomodate my snowboard. I just stick it in the backseat.

Thanks for all the compliments on my pics, ladies and gents! I've been at work and school all day so I didn't get a chance to check out this thread til now. I owe, I owe, so off to work I go. 
This thread should be retitled "the most random, off topic thread ever!" haha
Now I'm off to packing for NY. Have fun while I'm away gals and guys!

Sorry growing up in the mtns and being on skis for more the 25 years and snowboarding for 15 years I guess Im into the sport. Nice Vapor, Im running a new Baron ES, you want speed get on one of these and feel it rail with no chatter. Heres to us in Cali with a long spring ahead. With all the dumps we have had recently will be skiing/riding till June!

150mph on skis? Wow!
I've never even driven my CAR that fast! Thanks for sharing the interesting factoids.

Are you going to Zephyrhills area to jump? They have a nice setup there. And actually it was, there were like 20-25mph winds..... So I'll go back next weekend and hopefully get a couple jumps in.
