Hi All,
I am a bit of an old school carver that is looking to replace equipment and could use some info on what is out there. I currently have an old pair of Blax X1r boots, a Hooger SL board (~1993 vintage) with a good chunk of the edge missing and Emery Speedy Surf bindings, a Rossignol Recycler 172 (~1994 vintage) with Rossignol plate bindings, and a Scott Galena 164 board that I never ride because it is way too soft. I am looking to replace the boots and get a good carving board that is somewhat capable in mixed conditions, but will mostly be for groomers. I also need new bindings. I am 6'3" and weigh in at about 220lbs. I mostly like to ride fast groomers and make long GS turns, but where I ride the groomers are not usually ideal, so the set up needs to be friendly to choppy mixed snow conditions as well. I am hoping to get into a new set up for as little $$$ as possible.Any thoughts?
