i have never ridden in powder, so i assume the jump turn is something that is required in powder. I am from wisconsin, little hills and hard pack snow.

any idea how this would do in moguls or trees or should i avoid them with this? I'm going out west for first time and this might be what i need. how much approx shipping cost to wisconsin?

i am assuming this wouldnt' be as good in moguls or trees as a shorter board. is that detrimental? or is it easy to stay out of those areas. also, how much is shipping? thanks

you don't think I'm too light at 185 for this board? again, I'm still learning about length of board and weight etc, I'll be comiinng up from a 167

what does "tweener" mean guys? I'm not up with the lingo;. I saw this Donek Tucker also. I think it looks sweet. You don't think it would be to long if there was a bunch of powder? Also, you don't think its too long for my weight? 185ish. My old all mountain board is 167, and i've been meaning to go longer with my next board. Do you think it can hold a good edge where I do most of my skiing at home, on hard pack? thanks

Hi, I am looking for a decent board to go out west with this year. Do you think the tucker would be a good all around board? powder and groomers? I'm looking for a good all mountain board, also, I am 6"3' 185. thanks

moderate /intermediate experience level

I am 6'3" and 180lbs if that helps in recommending a board

big thanks to everyone's kind help. I have a very old set up, It's a Airwalk Force 67, 167 length. bindings are snowpro base. boots i don't know are not here right now. my gear is so old, I might just buy new gear. I like the idea of bringing my hard boots and an alpine, and renting a softer board if there's powder. will the rental guys let me put my own bindings on one of their boards? seems to me they would want to rent the whole shabang. also, I don't know where we'll be going, he lives in denver and says all the places are around 70 miles from him.

I am a snow boarder who likes carving. I live in Wisconsin and all I ever carve on is hardpack groomed runs. I like hard boots and carving. My board is an older race/all mt board. My question is, will this board work out West on the Mountains? Or is it too stiff and narrow if I encounter powder? My brother told me to bring two setups, but that is going to be too difficult. Is there a board that is more forgiving on powder, that still is stiff enough for hard boot carving? I seem to recall K2s El Dorado had a good reputation. Also, should I go with soft boot bindings since it will be my first time and therefor might be easier to deal with? thanks for any suggestions

Hi. Yeah, I think 169 may be a bit too small. Thanks though.

Looking for an older K2 El Dorado board, 177 would be preferable, but might go longer or shorter. Hope to find an older one, with the red an blue stripe down the front. thanks

I am hoping to find some madison residents who want to go boarding. Hopeful to meet fellow hardbooters to learn from and talk about gear with. Mainly would like to go during daylight hours, I wear glasses at night and do not want to lose/destroy them... We can rideshare also. I am 33 WM who is about intermediate level in alpine riding. Derek
