not positive about a Tremblant number but the 10-15 range is normal

and we saw one go by on a run
that makes 11 at one time
wow

Mont Blanc has a relatively big crowd of hardbooters on the weekends
it always strikes me as way over the numbers I see anywhere else on the hills in the Laurentians.

yup i have had my prior wcr77 tuned that way often
1d base under foot and 2+ gradually towards the tips
sides are constant and start at 88d under foot and go past 90d at the
with my detune tip and tail
had this done at max ski service in Mont Ttremblant
same guy tunes JJ Andersons boards
says its how he likes em
a much more forgiving ride ensues
I feel i can engage and disengage the carve mid turn, at will
these days all my boards have 1 or 1.5 base and a side edge that = to < 90 total
save the jib board thats at 3 or 4 base and >90 total

saw these on their site about a month ago
de cambered noses
started me thinking about getting a twin HB board
wider than most racers
but not a AM
-
both eyes infected?
if not
use one contact
tore a contact a few weeks ago
went all day with my rear one

snowboard binding adjustment is an art
NOT a set up and ride
rotate your high backs parallel with your heelside edge
is your neutral stance lined up with your board, or your boot angles
play with those angles

no I'm Chewy

that list is what I understand the riding standard to be for the level 4 freestyle exams Jam
+ rails

use the park all you want on any setup
BUT
if not using the features in the park
and are carving around them
remember the hourglass around each feature(take off and landing)
1 its much bigger than we think
2 in that space the standard downhill rider priority does not apply
seem to be a huge issues with park cruisers

as an instructor I want to use the same tool as my student
I am mostly a softbooter and have been since day one
for a long time i tried to find the perfect softboot carve setup
then i started carving with plates and love to do so
thats when i stopped trying to build the softboot carving setup
overall board tech but mostly softboot evolution in freeride setups have helped a bunch
the only stipulation for any casi course in terms of mandatory setup is in the level 4 carving, hardboots and plates. While most people do it all on softs there are and have been some who chose plates for levels 1-2-3, even seen one guy do the level 3 park day on plates and pass
-
a controlled slid turn is never carved so it should be slid
but
because most rider have no technique and slide all around, a well executed sliding turn can be a slarve
-
wow
thats BS
CASI has added a freestyle component to its level4 and one must choose hard boots or freestyle along with the traditional steeps and terrain adaptation(moguls)
as for doing levels on hard boots i can say that its much easier on softs
level 1 beginner demos should be done on softs
the level of carving for level 2 done on hard boots is akin to overkill
green and blue terrain with very large radii
level 3 could be done on hard boots but only for the carving part
moguls and parck are not ridden most efficiently that way
and for the 4 if you can do all 4 3s and a 540 on 40 foot jumps and all 4 3s in the pipe a couple meters out then you can not ride in hard boots
CASI is an association of members, driven by said members so we change with the times
the carve module can be done by level 1s and strongly suggested to do on hard boots
who told you this? he must be a jibber that does not ride in hard boots
someone who thinks you can carve in soft boots(well you can ist just like driving a civic around an F1 track, instead of an F1

Salomon boards are all made in Tunisia and China
their bindings were once made in Romania and the Czech republic, even Italy, so were most of the Burton bindings. now all made in china
early Burton European board production was by atomic in austria (still is?)
Tunisia is one of the most highly educated and well trained work force countries around, with favorable import export taxes and very little environmental law
I believe that almost all of the K2 umbrella in made in china

all I can say is that the après in tremblant will be at the Ptit Caribou...on the resort, dinner at La Diable microbrewery later, then back to the Caribou till the lights come on at 3
and Mont Blanc has a perfect bar slope side at the base
Habitant is a St-Sauveur date...
