I'm pretty sure you did. I'm not even sure why i did 17 inches. I just went with the smallest stance the inserts would allow and it felt comfortable in my living room. Not so much on the slopes. I'll read up on that link. Thanks.

Gotcha. Will read that post and also widen my stance. I'm looking at bts springs right now, will probably order them. Yeah, i'm actually very depressed that our season is coming to an end. I just want to hibernate until the next season. I might do a seven springs trip next week since it looks like they will have more snow friendly temps.

Interesting. Perhaps i should invest in the Bomber bts kit.

Just accidentally hit my back button and what was a very detailed post will be a bit more concise now. *sigh* New board, coiler EC 165 6.5 Stiffness +5 decamber 9-12 vsr. Took it out on friday and it was a very awkward first experience. Basically it felt like i couldn’t turn the board at all. Probably because i’m used to more of a soft boot setup with 30f 20r angles. I ended up doing a few runs, and by the end of the day i could do some ok rotational carves at lower speeds on a mild blue. But only after i had my rear boot in walk mode. Here is my setup track 325t mondo 26 td2 50f 45R 3 degrees cant in rear 17” stance Thoughts? I know the stance is quite narrow. I usually ride 18.5 on my soft setups. And i can carve really well in them. (rossi templar magtek 153. Soft boots are K2 Maysis DB, an awesome soft boot) I’m probably just not use to such a stiff boot and high angles. It felt like i just couldn’t turn the board at all. Perhaps i rely too much on my ankles to initiate turns? I was thinking of lowering the angles to 45/40 or lower and then working my way back up. And also widening my stance.

I will probably be there tomorrow morning. if not, then maybe monday night.

Bump. Still available.

i'm probably heading up Sat early morning. Dying to try my new Coiler EC and first true alpine board!

I'm not sure, really, another board perhaps? I would trade this for more of an all mountain type board. Or a swoard dual.

Bump. Still available. Will consider offers or trades.

Still available. 460 shipped (continental US). I'll be in Jackson Hole starting this saturday for a week. Otherwise, i'm located in DC. Can do a local pickup there if you want to meet me at the resort one day. Bindings not included.

Oh nice! I like "slinkyness" especially on the narrow slopes.

Cool. thanks

I had fun over there last season. Runs may be too narrow for ec but they are still a lot better than the resorts i go to. (Whitetail, liberty). I am planning on visiting tg for a day and snow king as well. Thanks for the input!

Cool thanks, was just debating if i should take my hardboots since i don't have a proper alpine board yet. (bruce is building me one :-D)

Any shops in Jackson Hole that have some alpine boards to demo? I'll be there all of next week starting Saturday. I was there last season and don't recall any, but i didn't really know about alpine back then. :-P

Finally got mine yesterday. They smell really strong of some type of glue or other chemical. Anyone else experienced this? Can i throw these in the wash?

Awesome stuff man!

Just curious if anyone is interested. It's a nice board, carves really well in a soft boot setup. I just find it way to stiff for my tastes. Perhaps someone with more powerful legs and wider west coast runs will appreciate it more. Just gauging interest. Board is like new. Ridden 5 times now.

Ah bummer.

Are you still going tonight? Let me know. You mentioned you had a board i could try out. If so, i'll bring my hardboots, otherwise i'll just be softbooting it on the eliminator.

Talking with bruce now. After a few messages we decided on the following; He's gonna build me a EC 165 with VSR 9-12 and 21cm waist. Thinking I'll keep my eliminator as my soft setup or possibly sell it.

I'm starting to realize that.

I agree. I just have to get used to it.

I am now speaking with Bruce from coiler. He told me the carbon eliminator doesn't have the flex pattern compatible with the power you can deliver with a hard setup. I'm sure he can build me something to better suit my tastes.
