  1. Moved back to the area two years ago. First time ridding snow summit in about twenty years will be Wednesday the 21st. Looking forward to getting back in the snow. I will be looking for riders in hard boots.
  2. that is why I posted did that took a month to get parts and on top of that they only sent half of what was needed. as a side note I love the bindings. and well only buy from them in the off season.
  3. put sticky side on the power plate. cut to fit and off you go. good luck getting one from catek.
  4. California. Mt Baldy Mt Waterman nice pics. brings back good times.
  5. http://www.yoursole.com/ I am thinking next season going to buy a pair.
  6. trying to get what I have gotten with hardboots. I ride an all mountain board with binding set as far back as they go. Catek OS2 and deeluxe 225. I ride all over. Powder, groomers, ice, steeps and inbetween the trees. I ride where ever I can go. Soft boots with the thrid strap and Catek freeride bindings did nothing for me. In my opinion waste of money and time. If you are tying to ride like you are in hardboots ride in hardboots. If you want softboots then you are going to ride like you are in softboots.
  7. started skating around same time. skiied with parents a couple of times at age 4 (but that does not count) skiied once around eighteen. started snowboarding age 21. hardboots two years ago.
  8. too many responsibilties not to work. in the early days before responsibilties if a friend said hey lets go boarding I was there.
  9. if its a vaction day and I get paid. I am there. if its day without pay then it would have to be the best day ever. overwhelming desire to eat keeps my at work.
  10. saw a post for the gear a couple of days ago. then poof gone. did you sell the board? hope you did, but if not still would like to demo it. nice picture in your signature
  11. I have a pass and a toyota. So one ticket up for grabs if thats the day.
  12. Looks like a good crew of carvers. so why does Loveland suck? runs look good. a litte crowded in the first video. meat cones around 2:20. what does L.C.I stand for? all in all I will be looking for more of these videos.
  13. Its better to ride off piste than pisted off.

  15. Thats what I was looking for. Thanks
  16. b0ardski - Defining style is like grabbing a handful of water and expecting to hold onto it. Nice I like that. surfers can carve, but carvers can't surf? - I know surfer who can't surf, but they look like they can rip. carvers surfing that's what I am looking for.
  17. all those pictures and videos just look like they know how to carve a snowboard with style. I know its not surfing snow, cause I surfed the major part of my life. Floating through powder does not feel the same as surfing a wave. Surfing a wave does not feel the same as floating through powder. Making a hard laid out turn does feel close to a bottom turn on a big wave. Just trying to figure out what is meant by surf style versus other styles of carving.
  18. Can someone post pics or video of surf style carving. I have searched and read what I can about different stlyes of carving. But I am still confussed about surf style carving.

    first day

    I can make that one and will be at this one- Schweitzer Mountain - January 29th, 2010 first day was a bust. youngest got to top of the beginer run, saw sister and older bother blast on by and said he wanted to ski. refused to try snowboarding. Good thing will bought some used skiis for him. 49 north has opened up the angel peak. right now you have to hike it. When I get a chance to climb up there I will give a report. they have a couple of good runs for carving but the chair lift back up takes sooo long. I mostly ride over on chair 4.
  22. don't worry if someone wants it sell it. Had a line on one last year and still kind of thinking about it. I have been eyeing the storm by venture snowboards. not sure when its going to happen. haven't looked into it yet. I think sometime in february.
