  1. I'm on a prior designed by mort, about 23cm wide, has metal construction but no early rise, 175cm, I'm 200# and like the way the board rides. I like the idea of getting a little more active with extension and retraction. I'll give it a try tomorrow, I'm encouraged by most of you saying it's doable. Today we were at Dollar Mt. for about 2 1/2 hours in the afternoon with super duper flat light, pretty tough conditions. Tomorrow..back to the big mountain! Thanks guys :)

  2. So back around chicago we've got moderate groomed terrain and short runs. Today at Sun Valley we got 10" of fresh stuff on long, steep runs so it was a little different than our normal conditions. My brother was buzzing along on his big mountain skis no problem but I was bouncing around all over the place in the cut up chop. I was able to stay loose and keep my upper body pretty quiet but the board just hopped, skidded, and jumped all over. Now I know that an alpine board and hard boots aren't maybe ideal for these conditions but are there any tricks to cutting thru it better? Or is it better to just get on some fatty skis and wait to rip the carving stick another day? Thanks :)
