I also measure 27.5 and also had 27 Deelux 700 many years ago. UPZ run large. I tried 27 upz and were way too big.
-
Size 26.5 with unused stock liners. Fits my size 10 shoe foot well. Soles in good condition. $275 with shipping (US)
-
I wear a size 10 shoe and these are the correct size. The original liners are included and have not been used. The heel and toe pieces have been replaced as have several buckles. They have been well used, but still have a lot of life left. $150 PLUS SHIPPING.

i am moving to albuquerque this summer. my wife has a new job at sandia national labs, so we are heading south. i've had a pass at loveland since 1995, the year i moved to colorado, so it's been a good run -
first, it's been great. carving with you guys is the most fun i have. thanks for tolerating me, mostly, and making all those turns together.
second, if you have any links to any new mexico carvers, i'm interested. we will be an hour away from sante fe, and it appears there is some carving there.
third, you always have a place to crash if you are in the area.

I was sorry to hear about the move, but I know we will ride together again. At least in BC in March. May try to make it down to Pajarito ( 3 days on Loveland Pass) Lots of areas to hit next season on the Loveland Pass, Mountain collective, and Ikon. Also Purgatory is not too far for you.
keep in touch,
Arne

I tore my right ACL at a skydiving accuracy competition in 1969 and the left one on a NASTAR pacesetting ski run in 2007. The right one developed arthritis so bad that toeside turns became very painful this past season. My five previous knee surgeries were all in the month of May so I opted to do the same for the knee replacement. All of my ski friends who have had the procedure are happy. How many of you hardbooters have undergone the procedure and what are your thoughts?
It's been two weeks since my TKR. The staples are gone, I'm done with crutches, canes, etc., and I'm back to driving. It seemed like a shame to let the borrowed walker go to waste so I devised a new use for it to rebuild the quads and abs. Can't wait for next season!!!
Hi Pat,
Glad you are doing well. As you know, I had my right knee replaced mid September 2017. I was going to wait until January, but decided to try riding in December. Took it slow (Kessler SL) the first few days. Only skied 7 and snowboarded 34 days this season, mainly due to snow conditions. I have retired from racing, because I don't think pushing it on a rutted hard course would be a good idea if you are trying to make the knee last for 20 years. Also doing more soft boot carving as it seems to be easier on the knee.
Asked my ortho dr. which would be better, skiing or riding. He said he didn't know because he didn't ski and try out both and see what feels better. I would say that skiing feels the worst, hardboot carving in the middle, and softboot carving the best. Of course riding the snowboard in powder is the very best. Did 2 days cat sking and 3 days snowboarding in BC in March and had a great time.
Good luck with your recovery Pat!

Are you kidding Arne? I don't know which part of Keystone you were riding, but today Keysone is amazing! Grooms are perfect! I thinks today is one of the best days of the season over here.
Chris and I were on every run off the River Run Gondola. We both thought the conditions sucked after the first few runs.

how are the resorts around the keystone area doing? I'm in the process of booking another trip for the week after the 16th of march and debating if i should do aspen or stay at keystone and drive to check out a few resorts. Thoughts?
Went to Keystone yesterday. Snow is very firm with random patches of ice. Unless they get some snow, it is not good carving. Abasin and Loveland snow is much better!

Nice, cold, and windy day today with only Odd Job, PCDenver, and me in attendance. I rode my new SG Proteam and loved it, and poor Odd Job had difficulty keeping up. Is anyone available to ride Monday?
Thinking about Keystone Monday. It was really good last week.

Sometimes I fail to appreciate what isn't there. In this case - crowds. Up to Loveland yesterday on a non-powder weekday. Really easy drive up. Few people in the lodge. No lift lines. No hoards on the slopes.
Grooming was really good and lasted until we were finished (about 1:30). Worked on carving in soft boots (on my oldest & cheapest rock board) and had a great time.
We rode 9AM to about 1:30 and got in 15 - 16 runs. Ran mostly on Ptarmigan and a bit on #8. The groom on #8 wasn't quite as good and the light was pretty flat. Back on Ptarmigan we rode Fire Bowl over & over. Took the whole run with almost no others on the slopes.
Juhwan and I were there. Didn't see you. Did you see trenches?

Why do I stop?
1/ The lifts stop.
2/ Poor light makes riding dangerous.
3/ I've sustained an injury serious enough to stop me riding. A broken hand didn't stop me riding all of SES in 2013, but a bust rib has ended a holiday.
4/ Heavy rain makes for miserable riding.
5/ I've died.
1.My front leg is cramping
2. It is getting crowded
3. I am hungry
4. I am thirsty
5. I need to pee

175. Not sure how length effects the flex #.

How does board width effect apparent boot stiffness? I find that my boots (upc rc10) feel stiffer when riding a wide board (25) vs a narrow board (17.5 or 20). Not sure if it is because you need more movement necessary to get the board on edge, the more relaxed angles or both. My guess would be both. Also the fore and aft movement is more across the width of the board rather than diagonally forward and backward on the narrow board. Appreciate your thoughts.

That is my old board. As I indicated when I sold it, it has a lot of taper so it takes effort to finish the turn. Virus does not provide sidecut info. I really liked it on flat gs courses, but had a difficult time on steeper ones. That being said, I saw someone on the same board finishing turns on Copper Bowl at Aspen, so it can be done.

uh, yeah...... and which moutain is going to get to see the new board on Saturday???? oh yeah, did I tell you I switched days from Sundays to Saturdays now???? (hint, hint..... come on and ride with me!!!!!)
Funny that I just bought the blue one last week, 6 years later. Anxious to try it.

New old board, or is a old new board. It has been at All Boards Sports for a few years, never ridden. SG 169 all mountain wide. Was looking for an all mountain board that can carve and do ok in the powder. Need to take it easy on the new knee for a while. Anyone here ever ride one. 1st sg for me.

john e - don't look at the snow stake today, friday april 21.
if you do, note that it is wrong: there was more snow than indicated.
I was testing that new Sims board . . . (which i traded for a Sims Blade) . . . works fine in powder.
Thanks for lettling me know pcdenver. I would have gone today if I knew you were going. :(

My review based on one day of riding in temps from 16 to 30 degrees. My head measured 57 cm and I got a M-L. If your head is bigger, this would be too tight. Helmet is heavier than my POC. Viser is not long enough to shield morning sun. Helmet pads are tight and push on my jaw bone. Helmet vents are ok in colder temps but gets warm as temps rise. Face mask does not block as much cold air as I thought it would, but on the other hand it does not get too warm as temps rise. Did get some condensation, but not bad in the dry CO air. It does keep the sun off your face, which is probably good, unless you want the goggle tan. Overall, I like the concept, but not sure I will use it all the time.
