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.

Yes it was. As was Larkspur. Saw you from the chair.

Not much grooming today on west side or on summit express. Hopefully it will get groomed tonight.

I have the 100 with the stock tongue. Thanks for the info. Ordered some new springs to try out. So many adjustments to try.

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

I will be there riding milk 2-12 to 2-15. Staying at the base.

Spillway and Richards are firm. Mambo is decent. That is all that is open. Not too crowded today.

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.

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.

Thanks John and Greg. Fun day!

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.

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

great video. looks like fun, but a little firm!

bump for final price reduction

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.

no sheet! felling better today, more ice, less drugs

thanks for your moral support. i know my injury is minor compared to what you went through, but these last few days after surgery have tested my threshold for pain. at least the dr. said the surgery went well. 6 weeks in the sling and 6 months of pt will suck, but i will try to work thru it. thanks

Sorry to report that my season is over. Full thickness tear of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons (rotator cuff) with 4 cm of separation. Surgery on Friday. Fell on hard snow in December. Heard someone behind me, looked back and caught my toe side edge and fell on left shoulder. This likely resulted in a partial tear which was not too bad. Second fall was in the lift line. Front foot attached to board slipped on ice and fell on same shoulder a week later. This completed the tear. Really sad to miss the rest of the season and pissed at Ikon for refusing to defer my unused pass until next season.

bump

final price drop! $175 for an SG! This board can carve. It is a classic that was reissued serval years ago.

https://emsc.lertprograms.com/ is the link for Eldora. It is more oriented to the recreational racer as opposed to Steamboat which is for the serious racer. Thanks coach!

Eldora and Steamboat both have alpine training programs

Nice full camber stiff board. Can be ridden with hard or soft boots. $200 plus shipping. 255 mm width. Carve the groomers and float thru the powder. This board does it all.

I think that I need this board in my quiver. No shipping required. I will pm you. 1st dibs.

Lets meet there in March
