ADVICE WANTED:
I've just joined alpinesnowboarder.com because I'm looking for a new challenge - alpine carving snowboarding. I've been watching others carve amazing turns for years and want to experience it myself. I am a 41 year old accomplished alpine skier, telemark skier and snowboarder and I'm looking forward to this new challenge. I'm 5'11" and 170lbs. Boot size is 9.5.
I want to get into this sport right the first time. What do you suggest?
I've been in contact with YYZCannuck, UPZ, Bola and Coiler. I typically prefer to buy new equipment that is fitted to me rather than trying other's used stuff and attempting to make it work, but I'm totally open to your suggestions. I live in Hamilton, Ontario and ride in Ellicottville, New York.
Thank you!
