  1. You didn't mention your foot shape which is critical in finding the right boot. Deluxe are wider in the heel and narrow in the fore foot. UPZ are narrow in the heel and wider in the fore foot. Mountain Slope boots are somewhere between the above. I just got Mountain Slope boots after having 3 pairs of UPZ boots. The UPZ boots fit fine with a wrap liner. I am liking the MS boots more due to the ability to change springs that are inexpensive die springs. I also like the progressive flex of the MS boots. I have the standard 100 flex which can be made stiff or soft depending on the springs.
  2. Yes it was. As was Larkspur. Saw you from the chair.
  3. Not much grooming today on west side or on summit express. Hopefully it will get groomed tonight.
  4. I have the 100 with the stock tongue. Thanks for the info. Ordered some new springs to try out. So many adjustments to try.
  5. are you regular or goofy? right boot has a much stiffer forward spring. You have softer springs than yellow on the rear SPRING. Did you find the yellow rear spring too stiff? trying to set up mine. The red seems too stiff on the front but the blue seems too soft for me. Have not messed with the rear yellow spring. Thanks
  6. I will be there riding milk 2-12 to 2-15. Staying at the base.

    Yo Lci!!

    Spillway and Richards are firm. Mambo is decent. That is all that is open. Not too crowded today.
  8. Lifty lady asked if my board was a doe-nek. She said they are made in Denver. I said yes, I know Sean. My board is a Kessler made in Switzerland. At least she had some idea what they are.
  9. 162 Kessler sl is 8-10-12 sidecut. great for early season with 2 many people on the run. It likes to turn, well yes it is a sl board. Can ride the middle or tail to make medium radius turns. Fun, but it can be bit tiring.

    Yo Lci!!

    Thanks John and Greg. Fun day!
  11. I would like to think that I can carve on snowboards and skis, but for me the carve on a snowboard is much more addictive. Something about being on one edge instead of two. As one of our cat guides said: "Snowboarding is fun!" But I do get the back and forth motion. Something about the snowboard allows you to vary the turn shape more.
  12. Guilty as charged. Gecko stealth smoothed out the ride on early season man made snow. Will remove for softer snow. Doesn't really matter since my season is over 165 Contra 24.5 cm
  13. great video. looks like fun, but a little firm!
  14. bump for final price reduction
  15. thanks, stopped percocet after 5 days. did not sleep well in chair. feeling good so far. aleve and cbd works for now. PT will be a different story.
