I'll have to remember to bring my pow board next time I see you up there with a foot of fresh
:D
Off for a Res Ride with Rob from Eldo in a few minutes

Bola,
That's my Cordova trip you're referencing. I only got to ride your Prior for 1/2 day and the Flow the other 1/2 day. Never got to really feel either but agree on the point and go versus tight turn scenario
PS Stopped by the shop the other day but you were out

IMO - I would not recommend any carving boards - escpecially if you are hooked up with any skiers. Most likely, you'll be in anything from perfect powder to thick, crusty off-piste type conditions. A carving board will want to track (and sink). I rode a flow classic 182 at 200 lbs and handled all conditions. The key is to find a board that stay on top of whatever conditions your in.
As for back-up equipment - you'll most likely be in the middle of nowhere and want to have seconds on whatever you can. Also - carry two goggles for different light conditions. If you haven't experienced flat light - you will
Other thoughts?

Pat,
Are you letting us know of your plans on moving to Denver once this passes?

It's built with enough camber that it stiffens as it arcs. I've ridden the RT 163 168 and 173 and prefer the 163 most of all. Now - do we want to have a discussion about a Madd Proto 167 that I was able to get my hands on

6' 2" - 200 lbs

Here's our 6 year old 235 pound mellow giant participating in our wedding as our ring-bear(er). Being a large breed dog, he unfortunately didn't have a long life and we layed him to rest earlier this summer. Now we only have his 180 pound sister and two 95 pound labs - yahooo our food bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
English mastiff for those who are curious. And for the other curious folk - yes, the wife is a hardboot rider!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Renntiger 163 - love it although may be to large for full scale slalom racing

That's the one. Other than what you stated, any insight you can provide for interested buyers would be appreciated.
PS Tom was looking for a skwal which I had and traded for. Just wish I'd have asked about the width - Oops

Retronaut
Shoot me your email address and I'll get you some photos. As for the width - I would recommend looking at your current boot/board spacing and determine if your binding angles will work for a 160 width board
Also, I have no way of telling it's age. Pictures can help you make that call when I send them to you

Selling for $150 to whoever responds first. Originally offered for best offer and mostly received trade offers. I don't need any other boards right now ( I think 12 is enough - for now ;) )
I acquired this board in a trade not realizing the waist width - to narrow for a mondo 30 boot (In my opinion) 175 length - sidecut approximately 14. In good shape - time for a tune-up? - with plenty of base and edge life.
Any narrow waist riders out there?
Photos are below

I live in Boulder and I'm friends with his business partner - Larry's the best.
In town - he is only known as Larry the boot guy - I've never known his last name and have known him for 10 years. He didn't get the name for no reason
It's sunny in Boulder today and there some fresh granola in the oven

Which SIms carve model is it? I have one (148 Carve II) that could be her replacement if it matches.
-
I have a set if you're interested

I can't help myself - isn't there a joke about duct tape and a squirrel
Does that count in this discussion?
Sorry ;)

Rusty,
We're getting our first snow of the season along the foothills from Golden to Boulder. Make certain to get your season pass before the deals run out.
Go to www.snow.com for Breck, Keystone, A Basin

You've got mail

Are we speaking about carving boards or fine wine? Oh wait, I think I appreciate a fine board equal to a bottle of fine wine. Check the humidity and maintain a constant temperature

Have to put in my 2 cents for the "Republic of Boulder" - Go Buffs!!!
-
Just saw this posted - not my listing - on ebay for anyone looking. They have three different boards listed
-
You can email to cfj04@aol.com
Thanks

You guys need to take up waterskiing. A little harder on the body physically, but great carving equivelant and the crashes (usually) don't hurt as much

UPZ Boots

From the looks of those, I would definetly recommend that you have a metal threaded t nut on the inside of the boot. When you convert from standard heels to intecs, you are now placing tremendous load on the heel piece rather than on the boot ramp. This means that you need to have a solid connecting between the heels and the boot.
If you simply modify the heels, be prepared for a ugly event when the screws strip the threading on the boot and your boot/foot/body releases unexpectedly
Take a look at your old boots and you will most likely see a metal insert that your intec screws thread into. With luck, those (or new ones) should pop into the hole that is already there and off you go
