Know someone with a condo at loon, he said 12 inches of perfect snow at 5pm today.

Great full day Board. Did 2 seasons , it was all i rode, 35/40 days each season. Early season /start, It takes a week or 2 to get in shape any way. The MK will bring you to a rapid fire turn skill , that other boards can not. The Mk has a very specific personality, ride it plenty and it will happen.

Solo and Blacksmith, we both are riding Proteus and Mk's this year, Thanks for the invite. There is a possible newbie from Parks who has an interest in hardboots, trying to get him into gear. Also a new rider with gear at the Wolfboro Abanaki slope.

Skier to three of us at the top, after we carved the hardpack up for an hour , "I like your ski."

I went yesterday, snow is a good 1/2", 1" , 2" very cold hard hard pack. Some areas are questionable, with a little bit of crud mixed in, can I cut into this?, so hit it hard and is OK. This top layer, and any questionable spots, softens to perfect cold carve, once the sun hits it. Underneath boiler plate base is a very solid snow/ice hard pack, which seemed that it was holding and edge fine, everywhere. Many snow guns where running, and still are now, 24 hours continual. 7, flume, etc, check the Loon conditions page for guns running. So all of the above info disregard if snow guns ran. Bottom line, it is cold and good , so go get it.

Have a Thias Skwall Easy Jungle, low hours , very good condition.

Loon is Good carve snow now.

Sad event, be careful out there. Snowboarder dies at New Hampshire ski resort (wmur.com)

The snow was good carve today.

Curious= Today, Excited and confused, What do you call that? Me= It is an alpineboard. Curious= They should make those and sell them. Me= "They" do, this is a Donek made by Sean Martin in Colorado. He makes the boards, and sells the bindings and boots as well. Curious= No, I mean "They" should make these at a factory and sell them at stores. ??

Just experienced this today, For my first day with a low hour, new to me 180 Proteus, 19 waist. 13 scr. I am 210 plus. My toe turns were fine, But I noticed some heel turns were not as tight as usual. So an increase in , go early, and quickly throw every thing you have at it, drop body early to ground(picks board up more), and stay in front of it, for the entire turn, aka , drive it as hard as you can for entire turn. Doing all of this for every turn and The Proteus 180 does heel turns great. This could be the Proteus 180 signature. It does not turn tight if you do not drive it hard. This was east coast, Loon Mt, narrow trails , Cold, Hard Hardpack.
