What do ya do when it dumps 5-10 inches overnight May 7th?
YOU RELEASE THE MOSS SNOWSTICK AND GO GET SOME!
Sorry for the shaky vid, this was me holding my phone out in-front of me and trying to ride the pow. Nothing deep or steep (yes it's steeper than it looks) but just me in a state of Euphoria as we're still spinning at Palisades and it was a Glorious Day (lifts opened at 8am) With NOBODY There until after 10:30am......And I Didn't Get Hit Or Fall!
Guess I need one of those selfie sticks if I try this again!!
Come On Out and Get Some....we got plenty to share!

Well, after going thru all that, shooting, reshooting, editing, adding music,fades, then finding my old YouTube account, having to wait for uploading/posting to YouTube channel......sure is a hell of a lot of work for a shaky, hand held cell phone, measly 2.5 minute vid!

YouTube channel.
What about all those videos under "softboot Carving Worth Watching" ??
Those were listed there 1st then lifted from YouTube??
-
How do you guys posting videos get around the 589KB file limit here? That 589kb limit only allows me about 35 secs. of footage with using my wmv. files.. ???
I got a 2.5 minute vid from the 10 inch pow day May 7th that's 32mb in wmv format ...what to do??

Amen to this. I buckle my boots a few lift towers before the top, step in as the board touches snow, and go.

the 5 position lean adjusters?
Hey P,
Yep, 5 position lean mechanism is what I'm after.
Preferably never used off a pair of Deeluxe boots a couple of years old at most.
What ya got??

if you are bending over to buckle/unbuckle any of your buckles each run
Nope....just once and done! Usually while sitting down in the Funitel riding the lift up.

Thanks Ladia,
I have Squaw pass via work...so no Mammoth.
Hmm...I thought I saw Kirkwood fully open 7 days a week until 15th ?? I'll check again!
-
It's a almost 2 hour drive
from Squaw but thinking of getting out of the Tahoe Basin for a couple of mid week days next week. Kirkwood's on my Epic pass....and No, I don't have a pass to Mammoth, so that's out!
Haven't been there since the Jim and Angie CA Trenching Convention visit. A few of you guys were there....Was that 2015??
On that trip I made the rounds with other riders from lift to lift but remember having difficulty finding a groomer that appealed to my crappy style. I ended up running laps on the front two Blues? off the main lodging/base area. Short, but fun.
Any other lift/trail recommendations I might of missed?

I love m’y MS
I looked into MS. Like Carvin Marvin I too live in Stepandclickistan, and at my 66 years, I am used to things happening at a certain speed and ease. If they were stepin compatible I'd be there already.

I replaced my 7-8? year old black/green 425's with the latest blue?/orange 425's this year and that was a solid step up in performance

Like it says I'm looking for a set of the original forward lean adjusters from Deeluxe boots.
If you bought new Deeluxe boots for this upcoming season and upgraded to BTS or some other spring system and you got these just laying around and want to get rid of them let me have them.
I'll pay ya for the USPS Priority shipping to 96146 and what ever you think your times worth to package and ship......
Thanks!

Hey Ladia!
Great to hear you were out on the slopes!!
Yes I was there Sat. running a few laps on Gold coast. Surprised we didn't cross paths! I'm still struggling post collision to get my mojo carving game back so I still suck and can only handle Gold coast and Big Blue for a couple of hours max.....but the crowds were massive Sat. and the lift lines were backed up out of the corral ropes by 10:30..... then I was done.
In those crowds my anxiety can't handle it!
Today/Sun. was almost empty! The forecast had called for overcast/cloudy but that didn't roll in until 10:30-11am So it was Sunny and No Crowds for me.
Wasn't this the last weekend for Heavenly? What lifts were you guys riding? Once they shut down my favorite, the Olympic lift my season is done there.

when it's cold there.
It's cold here...starting tomorrow! A week of snow and temps below freezing every night expected!
5 inches+ expected here in the valley to get the storm rolling Tues....so 5-10 up top to start the storm week!! Should be awesome carving by next weekend with sunny but cold forecast!!51 minutes ago, Jack M said:try red springs.
Jack I tried every and all combinations and adjustments. All red, red/blue, blue/red, all blue, blue/yellow, yellow/blue and all yellow! And on each boot I tried No forward lean, little forward lean, medium forward lean, maxed out forward lean and I guess I'm too strong...or too weak or too dumb to notice any difference riding them.
For the last 2 seasons I've been on all blue to use on my daily drivers and all yellow for the pow boots.
With this new pow coming in I was going to drop the yellow bts and put my other oem's forward lean back on my pow boots but I seem to have misplaced that second set!
Anybody got a set of Deeluxe OEM 5 stage forward lean mechanisms they want to get rid of ASAP!!!
-
Trying something different and removed the BTS (all Yellow springs) and went back to the OEM 5 way adjustable forward lean mechanism. I set it up with 3 clicks all the way back/vertical on front foot and 3 clicks all the way forward on rear and I really liked the immediate resistance/response!
Even in 60 degree temperature mush the board was much more agile! Here's some photos from the slush fest today................ not crazy Angrry tight but I feel like I'm finely getting back some of my carving mojo......only taken 16 months post collision!
Can't wait for a firm day to give it a another go!
-
For once I wasn't the only hardbooter!
I never crossed paths or got close enough to identify their boards with the other two carvers but #1 had a chrome helmet and #2 had white deeluxe boots. They also were riding solo it seems.
Was that anybody from here???

Any feedback
No joy in riding the Arbor A Fame.....it was a crudbuster for sure but surprisingly, considering it's scr was about as responsive as a Dumptruck!
Not the width your looking for but I second the vote for the Alloy DO....especially a 1st gen!! I really enjoyed it's super sexy high gloss black and gold topsheet and turns so quick it would pop your fillings out!
I'd give my left lug nut for another (nos) one of those!!

My reading choices are fairly random but I've finished these two most recently:
1- An intriguing mystery novel which had quite a few unexpected surprises.
2-A testament about global warmings vivid demise of the Boreal forest and it viral effect on planet earth. An informative and worrisome page turner.
3- Next to read is the Pulitzer prize rendering of the Vietnam war and it's impact on Vietnamese immigrants to America.

we're talking about grams here.....
Hey Roro.......not sure where your getting your info considering "you never try the BTS" but BTS weigh a couple of pounds Each!
5 hours ago, RoroSnow said:your pants normally cover them
You must have some really baggy pant bottoms! It's too restrictive for me to cover them. I put my pants cuff between the upper spring and the boot.......so Yes, quite visible.

This is stiffer than using BTS with the red (stiff) springs.
Thanks for the input guys.
I currently have all blue springs on my daily drivers and yellow on my pow boots. I've tried mixing in red springs but I just never saw/felt much difference and/or performance from any combination or spring adjustment....like I said I'm maxed out on rear boot forward lean and at 1/4 or 3/4 of an inch forward lean doesn't seem any different performance wise.
I'll admit I've never liked the added weight, bulk and attention/questions they bring. Maybe time for a change.........if the oem 5 position lean mechanism is good enough for Sean (on a MK!) maybe It will work for me!
Intuition SBC Wrap Liners?

Thanks for the info guys.
I would love to try the SBC's but I went ahead and bought another pair of Power Wraps because they were available here and already got them molded. I'll downgrade my old Power Wraps to my Pow boots.
