yes! working on transition have been on my mind a lot this season. Once i am on edge it's fine. Someone once describe my riding like sitting on sofa once i am on edge, lighting transition to the next and repeat. but somehow i lose that ability along the way. re-discover a hint of it have reignite the addiction but i am already forgetting what little i learned. Pat: i won't change a thing. as long as you are having a big smile on you face. Keep on carving/riding. You are giving me hope that maybe i can stick with snowboarding for couple more decades.

what do you need to measure? I do have shell B size. take a picture on how you want to measure and i should be able to mimic.

that is indeed a generous offer Don't want to wear out my welcome just yet lol. We are mostly remote but starting headed back to the office once a week. i don't missed the hellish commute one bit. i do missed having functional knee where i can drag body part every where i go... oh well getting old stink lol. https://imgur.com/xjuS6iE

lol... getting old isn't fun. i am "young-ish" age wise but all the abuse i put my body through come collecting in recent years. Same here/glad to see i am not the only one -https://forums.alpinesnowboarder.com/topic/47536-is-relaxing-carving-possible/ but you look plenty relax/fluid to me

right. chute is higher up above the cross cut for sluice/spillway, wind blown, off camber "fun". headwall is 'tame' in comparison. Both are above my ability now but it's something for me to work toward. now to think about it; i am usual at the loaf in early season or late. that one time in prime season; it does seems to be a bit more forgiving. so far the spring is cold/wet/raining; make letting snowboard go so much harder.

PSA - public service announcement IKON renew discount expired on 4/21/2022. Price goes up April 22 2022. I was looking for the date but couldn't find it. Just got the flyer in mail.

nice! i am not worthy lol.. for me that's a very tricky section sluice headwall... There is one year i was able to ride it competently and it's been kicking my butt since. Always get confused with the name sluice/spillway

wow. That's interesting. Make me think maybe you can go down a shell size. I am in the opposite boat. In between size problem. volume wise i am good but length/width it's very tight. shell is snug; toe box need to be punch out and blown out. hence i need low volume liner for MS951 boots on the deeluxe track 700 (with toe box widen) - where the high volume liner fits the heel well. I was told to give the cork 5-7 days of riding to let it settle before adding more cork. if you are getting clear sign of heel lift; then i would add more cork but for me I am not sure if it's tiny bit of heel lift or just poor technique on my part. if all this doesn't work; i might need to go up a shell size and go from there. Best of luck! i am a fan of zipfit. Buy one once/cry once

those are some purty track! I can almost imagine/feel the movement to make those track. Spill way/skyline lift? winter gears have been put away. must focus and stay away from forum to keep sanity. goosfraba

which zipfit model did you go with in your UPZ? maybe a high volume one is a better starting point?

Awesome! Thank you for sharing! so much this "personalize style" That's like something Fin told me. It's amazing there is a convergence path where people at the top of their field can see a universal truth which transcend discipline (be it ski/snowboard/cooking/religion/science). One thing i learned this season: Be kind to you self. Love the saying on "being oneself". remind me of scene in Kungfu Panda That's all we can be.

Yes; that crunchy sound so scary yet so satisfying. As the day getting warmer; i did got caught in a soft patch. luckily just minor busted lip. Sugarloaf's way to remind me not to be too cocky. the twin trail king/hay (at least to my un-train old eyes). really nice riding. I wasn't much fun to be around anyway(pretty moody at the lack of progress; even regress) lol. was In tinker-bell mode; this time i am actually making progress instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall. by the time i think i figured some of it out... the season is over. Can't wait for next season to just do it all over again.

Nice! i saw the video before it was posted here due to Google/youTube Algorithm. Anything on life that can be shared?

wow; that's this past Sunday? looked like hay burner? If i know... i would have stay. packed it in Friday 4/1/2022 (all the rain/warm weather wasn't promising) drop off the boards at Happy Tune for T&S. Finally end the season on a high note. I was riding there from Mar 27 - 31. 5 great days. pretty amazing how quickly Sugarloaf recover from various weather system. Enjoy. I will be back next season.

glad to see you made it in one piece. https://www.rei.com/blog/climb/fun-scale would you consider that type 3 of fun?

me and Contra(the WoGo version) finally clicked (only took 2 seasons). i am a slow learner/adapter. It's a bit disconcerting to hear/feel the "crunch" over spring thaw then deep freeze "hardpack" but the edge just kept on holding on. pretty amazing stuff. work equally well in spring slushes. Def required a different input than what i was used to but worth the journey. Season ended for me but look forward to next season to continue the discovery phases with Contra.

i now do this as warm up. hmmm i wonder what does it take to be able to do this on the steep?

Thank you! great to hear that some resort is still firing up snow gun but yea.... sad face on that system we just got

necrosis thread resurrect - http://www.alpinecarving.com/tmtd2/ since the demise of Flash player - the old tweak-o-matic might stopped working. i installed chrome extension Ruffle - all the buzz words - rust/webAssembly https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ruffle/donbcfbmhbcapadipfkeojnmajbakjdc and i can tweak once again.

I saw but that was probably pre-storm exuberance. building upon the "snow storm" momentum; that might have die on the vine when reality set in.... something about snow making take us to the spring. well it would be nice if mountain ops decided to do that otherwise it is what it is.

to the suppose "snow storm" would love some local report on condition: Do we think Sat or Sunday is a better day to start? Rock board? should i even bring my new board?

Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." — G. K. Chesterton https://www.chesterton.org/a-thing-worth-doing/ The line is not an excuse for poor efforts. It is perhaps an excuse for poor results. I will never compete at elite level (no even local beer league level) but i enjoy it and sometime that's good enough and i will have to make peace with that.

Yes; had to stay around in the left coast; just can't get away from work. I should have chased the snow but lesson learned. I have never been to June but always wanted to. Last time i was at Mammoth it got dumped on but looked great for carving when it's not snowing.

i got a rain poncho very low expectations but doing the snow dance non the less It is what it is. What doesn't kill me just maim me (wait that's not how it goes).
