As an alpine guy I would say watching SBX is a close 2nd to watching PGS. I use to notice a few guys on alpine setups. Now they are pretty much non-existant. What gives? I would think a custon all-mnt with variable sidecut would work great in a SBX course. Doesn't hard boots, plate bindings, stiffer board, and long effctive edge = speed, precision, quick turns, deep carves, and less chatta. I'd like to hear some info from people in the know, thanks, just curious.
