Thanks for the input all! So i tried an alpine setup on my board the other day and all in all it went ok. I was able to understand basics of an alpine carve though I was not able to get as low as i Waned to. Corey was pretty accurate, when I would carve, the board would wannt to make a really tight one, almost like a J turn making transitions slightly more difficult. I set my bindings up about 45 F and 40 R. It wasn't as comfortable as I would have liked, but I still need to tweak it a bit. I`ll try a demo board tomorrow maybe.

Hey all, I'm fresh at the alpine snowboarding scene, however I have been snowboarding since 2004 (soft boots, all mountain board). I was wondering if its possible to get a feel of what alpine might be like on my board. I've seen alot of alpine boarders angle their bindings to the nose of the board, so I was thinking if I read up and did that on my regular board it would prep me for alpine boarding. What's your take? BTW I searched the forums and didn't find a topic like this, so if there is already one out there please point me to it. Thanks. J
