    I cannot wait for next week. My buddy Russell and I are coming for our first year. I have been watching the forecast and if things don't change by Sat. we plan to leave the powder boards at home.

    Thank you for taking the fall. Best way to guarantee a powder day is to leave the tools at home.

    My stoke is rising and can barely be contained at the moment.  I cannot focus on anything. at all.

    monday cannot get here quick enough

    When are you guys leaving Colorado. Going to be at Snowbird Saturday if you guys need a break to make some turns. Then doing the power drive on Sunday from Salt Lake.

  3. Since you asked!1312356090_newboards.jpg.30f8cf835122376f047b06e323201f8a.jpg

    Board on the left is a BXFR 158 CM long 24cm wide 10 to 12 vsr with the "slice" technology powder nose and tail. This is for the Wife built with soft flex at 125 lbs. She has another BXFR from Bruce that she loves this one is bigger in length and side cut radius.

     

    Board on right is for me. 185 CM long 23.5 wide "Contra" Monster Powder Hybrid Carver. At least that was my thought when I discussed with Bruce. I have a "Contra" from last year just needed an all mountain version. Can't wait till Thursday.

    There's a third board that has not been photographed that is also for the wife a Donek Talon that was ordered @Montuky. This is the wife's first true Alpine Board she got a test drive @Montuky. 

    The problem with my board fetish is now the wife has one. Custom boards just got twice as expensive.

    When I told her she officially has a quiver she quickly told me that it was her Harem.

  4. Not once was either mentioned. He spoke about engaging youth racers, it was really good. Sean wants to see alpine progress, I had a separate conversation with him the next day about  demos at other resorts and the lack of boots specifically making this a challenge. Alpine is only 10% of his market currently and he is concerned it may disappear due to the lack of access and instruction for alpine snowboarding.

    @Donek is selling intro board packages that include bindings and boots for under a 1k bucks which is a great start. 

    We all have the opportunity to help grow the sport thru being seen at the local hill. I have instructors who ask me how to try alpine, but there is limited access to equipment

     I try to loan out anything I can but boots are always the issue.
