Grohe777,
You can get your board tuned at the Racer's Edge, at 114 West Main Street, Breckinridge.
Be sure to buy one of their tee shirts, "It's the not the tune, you suck".

1. Read the airlines rules online. They've reduced the weights.
They also may ask how many boards are inside. Limit 1. I have always
been successful in getting through with up to 4, if the weight is o.k.
2. Weigh all your bags at home while packing.
3. Pack with soft clothing wrapped around boards. Don't waste weight on
packing materials. You don't have any extra.
4. "Emergency repack" at curbside if you are over the majic weight.
5. Maximum "carry on" bag capacity available for repacking.
5. Check in curbside.
6. Tip the skycap.
7. Have the prettiest member of the family handle the baggage. Dress
"appropriately"
8. Sportsexpress.com will pick up at your house and deliver your stuff to
the hotel and may cost about what 2 weight overcharges would cost
(one each way). Then you can bring more "other stuff". Lot's less
hassle, too.

Chubz,
The heel pieces I own are not compatible. The bolts are not the same distance apart.

Skatha,
I have a brand new, never been ridden, 168cm O'Sin 4807. I have always wished I had the 178. Can we trade, even up?

Gleb,
What is the secret mountain with Radar?

On www.skiwindham.com and their email newsletter, they say that if you have a season pass from any other mountain, you can have a free Windham season pass for the balance of Spring 2006.
How about you Pennsylvania Carvers, Mountain Creek Carvers, etc.???
This weekend looks good along with the pond skimming, too.
Come up and ride with me and the other Windham Carvers!!!

Find it in the spot above. Looks like the easiest way to copy it is with a "printscreen" type of program.

Pat,
I would think a good shop would be able to fix your old boots.
How about trying some 1/8" stainless pop rivets?
What size are they?

Maybe you could cut a few layers of carbon fiber, put them in the bottom of a plastic container, drench it in epoxy resin, wait for it to dry and attack it with grinding tools while wearing a respirator, etc.

The tip would look nicer with some 3/16" stainless pop rivets.
But then you wouldn't have the pleasure of wrecking the P-tex of any softbooters and skiers who run over your tip/tail!!

Misfit27,
Before you leave for Colorado, why not ride with us Windham, NY.?? I have some boards and bindings you can borrow.

NBC has changed the spelling of "Snowboarding". On their website, announcing the 4pm scheduling of Women's PGS, they are now spelling
it:
"Snowaborading" .

I just opened an email alert from NBColympics.com. At 4:30 am they sent me an email saying the Women's PGS was scheduled for 5:00 am, just 30 minutes later!!
It is still scheduled for 4-5 pm.
It looks like they have deleted coverage from Thursday primetime, 8pm-11pm and moved the finals earlier to 4-5 pm and taken the semifinals from 4-5pm and moved them earlier to 5am.
How many people are reading their email at 4:30 am?
But of course, the stunning amount of Curling coverage continues!!! Some times with different elims on 2 channels at the same time!

I assume the 4-5 pm Wednesday coverage is of the PGS Eliminations, and the Finals are in the evening.
Same schedule for Women/Chicks Thursday. I just love watching girls on Carving boards!!
Check your local TV schedule for changes.
Jack, please amend your thread title.
Will Canadian TV have more coverage? We will have to count on the Canadian Carvers to tape it for us.

Absolutely, you need to try a full carving setup.
Why not come up to the Windham carvefest, February 25-26. See the dual posts here and on the "ride board." I have various boards and bindings you could borrow and the Windham Mountain shoppe rents Alpine boards, boots and bindings.

Barry,
Windham is about 100 miles from the New York/New Jersey border at Route 17 and the NYS Thruway, Interstate 87. Take exit 21 off the Thruway and go west 24 miles on Route 23 to Windham.
Call me at 732-604-0594 if you wish.
Try visiting mapquest.com for distance to DC.
Check out the "ride board", NY, PA, NJ section, for the other replies to see some of the others who are coming.
Hope to see you there.

Carvers,
There must be 35% hardbooters in the Olympic Snowboard Cross Men's eliminations. One 4 man heat had 3 hardbooters and the softbooter in last place fell.
The annoncer is repeatedly discussing the differences between the setups.
They did a slow motion, tight finish, closeup of 2 competitors finishing
1 & 2 and they both clearly had hardboots.
The Silver Medalist was on Hardboots.
Millions of viewers are saying, "I think I saw a couple of Snowboarders at the mountain last weekend with boots like that. "

There will be some carvers who will give you some tips at the Windham Carvefest. I see that you are planning to attend.
Ronnie Knuckles likes to help. He will be there on Saturday.

PGS watchers,
Here is the link to a bio on Jasey Jay Anderson. Coiler and Bruce Varsava are mentioned.
Sports Illustrated predicts he will win two Silver Medals.
Good Luck Jasey Jay !!!
Did Bruce go to Torino? Is he healing quickly?
And thanks again to Bruce Varsava for donating one of Jasey Jay's World Cup podium winning snowboards to the 2004 ECES, which I won and enjoy.
