Have got a pair of bts with yellow springs, used a few seasons, $50. No pins, you should already have them in your present boot, just reuse them??

I will check on the bts. where are you riding this year? Am a bronze goon again.

I also saw that while looking up Phantom

Got a pair of these, phantom ski, a little searching and found an old non working link to www.phantomski.com from 2003, age of link fr which folk were talking about this new ski design, they pair went for $850. It is cap construction. There is a ton of glass in the base, approx. 0.070" thickness and has tan rubber. One ski alone is very stiff even as skwalls go for flex. Usually skis are quite soft compared to a skwall. So I am not sure if ridden as a skwall if it would be too stiff. The dims are 160 cm length, 100 mm waist, 185 mm tip, 160 mm tail. .575"=14.6mm thick at waist. But the glass amount makes this ski very stiff, even difficult to flex. 1410 mm effective edge and a 38 mm base height gives SCR of 6.56 meters. So something that tight may not even be able to be ridden , the cuts might be too tight. Has any skwall or alpine board been ever made with such a small SCR? I will give it a try, seeing that the initial investment cost was very low. And already have a set of TD1 skwall bindings. The last ski project I tried did not have enough SCR, this may have too much. Might just screw the td1 in from the top. Forgot to mention, It has very nice carving tip decamber ofapprox. 3 inches, and also a very nice tail decamber approx. 1.5 inches, for some thing made in 2003 or earlier, this ski designer knew how to shape a carving ski, although in his write up , he is calling it a powder ski. Decamber is quite aggressive, so it should be fun to try. Any guesses on how it will carve? Too tight so it will wash out at end of carve?? Or so tight, rider must hold tight as possible and keep down hill speed minimized? December is coming,

Alpine Bank had asked that Fintan Doyle, the founder and former owner of Bomber who sold it to the Callens, be appointed as receiver because "he is highly familiar with Bomber's business operations and the industry within which it once operated under his control." Doyle, according to a motion from Alpine Bank, had agreed to manage the Bomber business at a rate of $50 an hour during his term as receiver.

Maybe if one portion goes down, the whole show goes down.

First in Line, Pretty close to me, I will pick it up in person.

Nice vid Gabe.

Hang in there and get more days on the boards, totally commit to riding alpine set up all the time, and all the topics that you were rating 1 thru 10 , will turn into 10's. Once you catch the wave on alpine boards, you will never want to ride anything else. Especially when you get on a high performance carve board. Jack is correct, I am 6' 1" and 32" inseam and ride 20.75" to 21" width. Thanks for doing this.

The Bolton Valley trials event went very well, so well that there will be another one at Bolton Sept 30. This was a fun ride, score your own card event, to see how it goes. Next year it will be a registered/sanctioned NETA/AMA event. Still a fun ride, but have score keepers/checkers at each section. This ride had Novice C + B, and Expert C lines for sections, next year will have all levels, Nov C + B, Expert Champ, A, B, C, lines. Any one out there interested? This is really fun stuff. There are more pics on Boltons facebook. , The age group range is 8 to 80 yr old. And the 80 yr old wins his class. Another new rider just started and he is 74 and doing very well.

https://www.facebook.com/GreenMountainPlonkers/?fref=nf Plonkers to host Trials event at Bolton Valley Ski area, this should be good. Sometime towards the end of the summer. Many advantages to having a trials moto event at a ski area in the summer. or here, http://www.greenmountainplonkers.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=17&Itemid=214 any one interested in trials, here is another club in Berwick Maine, with some very good rock formations, ex: "Gorge" and "Widowmaker" https://www.facebook.com/rockandrolltrials/

I ride 325s , and stuff 3 layers of cardboard in between the tongue and the liner, works fine, The cardboard will squish flat after a few days, it is cut to fit right in , and duct taped the edges , Works for me.

Have had a Fintec release while fully locked in, both pins in the holes completely, the pin bushings were worn and worn enough to give just enough angled pin movement to have it pop out , right at the power portion of a hard carve. Luckily it was the rear boot and all I did was a wash out slide. Lesson leaned here is , always check your pins potential of angle movement, and visually inspect with a good magnifier, your bushings for damage, the bushings kind of self destruct after a while, A while for me was about 60 days of carving. I check the pins a few times a season. This is also a good reason to take them apart and inspect them before each season. No excuses, it is what holds us onto the board. Also another good reason to wear a leash on the front boot, if this had happened on the front...would have been a different story.

It would be good if Timberline took pictures and promoted it further, after the event, for next year.

The other carver responded to her and said, Don't worry , he is a trained professional.

do this on a weekday and we will all ride the slopes at loon, r

Alex...?

While carving with another on the best snow conditions of the year, we stop near another skier , who asks, "are you doing that on purpose?...are you in control? are you going to hit me?"

It was great riding with everyone on such a blue bird day with good snow. thanks khan for the effort to do the pictures. and every one else for the effort to make this happen. Sorry I had to leave early, a combination of factors, which the priority being my father in the hospital, so I got down to Boston to visit.

yes, come to Sugarloaf....possible hero snow!

Not done yet, reports of record snowfall and cooler than normal temps for March. And there still is a good base.

extreme is handy when it gets very steep, double black

This article is finding its way around book de face, and is getting liked.

the weather prediction has changed quite a bit for the last few days, so it may change again, therefore bring everything, softboots just in case, MK, Nirvana , OES FC, homemade ice board.

The Herbert Grand Hotel, Sunday PM, also, check out the weather, https://www.wunderground.com/us/me/sugarloaf-usa-ski-area looks like a 5 to 8" storm for Wednesday, and warm all week
