Call me jack

yeah that sounds familiar now. Thanks man! i actually just updated my gear. the td1s are gone, and i was planning on going with a new softer binding on the head fusion, like an ibex. well cool, i'm excited. i just moved out to Montana and it has become clear that i need to take a different approach to riding out here.

So let me start off by mentioning that i tried the search function, but must not be able to get the right word combo If i put plate bindings on my old freeride/all mountain boards, and ride them just as hard as i ride my alpine board, am i going to have any issues? My concern is that i will pull the inserts out of the board Sorry to post such a trivial question, when i was on the forums i saw this asked all the time. i just can't find it in search for some reason.

planning on going to tomorrow... doesn't look like the snow will be great, but you never know.

Hey is Alpine making a decline at afton? i noticed that there isn't a log thread...

I had a nice day today. Got out there around 11, and after about a half hour or so of figuring out how this all worked again i was rocking it! It was hero snow again today. you could tell because i received several compliments on my riding (i'm certainly not that good). i spent most of the day on chair 2, i kept jumping a berm in the groom toe side, and landing heel side high on edge. It's really neat feeling you hand touch the ground before your board! i think the temps stayed in the low to mid teens today, with a very gusty wind; i would be hallin' a$$ until i turned into it and i would just stop some times.. really threw me off my game when it happened. btw, the groom on the nastar side of 2 was in fact terible, as i've learned to expect from Afton Alps. I finally wrapped it up at 4:30. Very satisfied. it was a good outing. For how little time i've had on a board the last couple of years i felt like i was able to work less to get the board to do more... i might have to put some serious thought into upgrading my board next year, if this becomes a habit again. recommedations?

when i was hit by a guy on telemarks, i had just finished looking up the hill, and saw nothing. right as i started rolling to my heal i was plowed by the "tele-duche" who had a tendency to simply bomb hills and not do much turning. I think it's sad but simiple; If they're not paying attention, they're going to hit you. It's like motorcycles. you can ride a bright colored bike and put the "watch for motorcyclist" sticks all over the place, but if people are stupid, they're stupid... and you can't fix that. Do your best to avoid the idiots and live in fear of the stupidity.

i'm heading out to afton tomorrow... i'll probably be there around 10-when ever. knowing my super exciting riding style :rolleyes: i'll probably gravitate to chairs 2 or 6, if any one wants to meet up.

Is afton worth going any more or is the snow crap? Just got back from bridger bowl montana and deffinitely miss this sport, and would like to rail a few more turns before summer.

bonzo, do you still have the jeep snowboard rack?

so is the general consensus, this year, that the snow just kinda... sucks? suddenly i dont' feel so bad if i skip out on this season. any mes this year? lol

any one going out, today?

facebook says it's chairs 2 and 4 have no idea what conditions will be like. haven't ridden in a month, or so. Aaron is probably just as clueless, as he just left for CO

Lame ass. :p I thought the snow rocked today! Some spots were a little iffy, but it was more the flat light that made things so challenging. But 7 was nice, along with 12, and steep 17. i never made it to 2. btw. i was also out last thursday. the snow was very soft, but ride able.

any one plan on going out today?

i supposed to be colder tomorrow. i have a feeling the snow is going to set up like sand after ther groom it, except 1 2 and 3 cause they insist on grooming that in the morning, when it's warmer. tomorrow could have some potential. only down side is it's a friday.
