  1. I got hit in the back of my head from an airborn soft boarder. Rag dolled unconcious into the snow head first. Streched the crap out of my feet (plantar), was out for 5 minutes, broken teeth and had 12 switches in my mouth. . I wear a full face now. If you ride hard, you never know what will hapen. This happened going from hard pack to wet soft snow (I'm 230lbs). Launched myself into the bush after the board broke. This is a down hill mountain bike helmut - very lite. It's more cumfortable that a standard ski helmut. It also saves your goggles in a face plant. have a safe season
  2. Reducing my inventory, I would like to sell these items in one complete order for simplicity. All bindings were functional. 1 x Proflex stepins... 4 hole only 2 x Burton standard... 3 & 4 hole included 2 x Burton unicants... 3 & 4 hole standard 1 x Burton fixed cant... 3 hole only $260.00 shipped to North America included. (Not interested in separating just yet) ontrac at rogers dot com
  3. Moostone is groomed for every weekend and can be perfect for a few hours in the am. A bit narrow if the fence off 1/2 for racing. Sunrise at Blue is only good Wed morn but its one of the best runs. Was there yesterday morning - was brilliant - I have been told its only groomed once or twice a week. Searchmount (SS Marie) is awesome if you can tolerate the old slow tows.
  4. What is the serial # on the side of the 200 Coiler? What is the width of the board. Would you ship to canada?
  5. Hope you'll send it to Canada. PM sent
  6. What is the flex # for the Coiler? My daughter is 150lbs .. is it suitable
  7. What is the serial #'s for the Coiler..need the flex #... my daughter is 150lbs is it suitable?
  8. No matter "how good you are" if it doesn't feel good it sucks. If on the edge of traction you are relaxed and in the grove - you've reached the highest possible level.
  9. Took the board out in soft wet snow(was fine in the AM). Turned too hard and the nose bit a foot of heavy snow. I was wearing stiff UPZ 5 buckle boots with the front locked and tight. I'm 230lbs and often wondered what would happen if....
  10. There are many carvers at Beaver that would like to attend but can't because they have their mens day on the 30th. Its also the same time as my kids break between semesters. I can't go to either because its the only good time to take my kids skiing out west. Be better on a different day.
  11. I usually ride with the fronts locked in and the rears in walk mode. Got hit in the back of my head by an airborne softboarder, knocked me out, face planted locked in my boots - stretched the hell out of both fascia ligaments (connects your toes with your heal) the same.
  12. When my kids were 4 & 7 we all had enough of skiing on 600' or less hills. We all went out bought crappy soft boards and had a great time as a family learning how to snowboard. The local hill was all of 200' high and that was all we needed for the first year. We all excelled at the same speed. 11 years later we all ski, Carve, all mountain, and the kids love the park. I fill the pick up just with gear when we travel for a ski holiday. My daughter and I are spending a week out west together Sun Peaks to carve and Whistler to All mountain and ski - its her last year at home before University. Funnest way to keep your family together.
  13. Widest stance possible - makes for a very stable ride without looking like you got off a horse.
  14. They will be great - no aluminum intec receivers!
  15. Visited his shop last week, he is obsessed with quality and innovation. Constantly searching for better materials and techniques. A rare craftsman. I have been on a 10 year old Coiler pure race made for someone 50lbs lighter than me that has only lost 3mm of flex from original spec (6.5 from 6.8 measured on his bench) Can't wait try my new metal RC!
