Hey Eboot, I found Mount Rosa lodge, which has been rebuilt and is now the most modern place to stay. It is in Vallis at 2.883m and Margarita lodge at 4.554m which is also in Vallis but seems to be right on the border. https://www.bergwelten.com/a/8-huetten-die-man-gesehen-haben-muss We are located at the foot of the Stelvio Glacier. One of the most renowned streets for biking, motorbikes, sports cars, etc. in the summer time. The slopes are open usually between May - November and you'll usually see quite a few of the top athletes training there during the summer season. Hope you can still make it here some day! Greetings Jennifer

"Hello one eyed monster" Makes me wonder what she saw ....

The new VIST Interface plate has 2 interchangeable I-springs in the center with different stiffness options http://www.visttech.it/catalog/

Just out of curiosity... were they masks? I am wondering because a lot of people have been posting pictures of people riding bikes with no helmet, but wearing a medical mask.

Yes! Today is March 13 #RideOnJake day! https://adayforjake.com/ GO HAVE AS MUCH FUN AS POSSIBLE Join us Saturday, March 13, 2021, for a global day to celebrate the legacy of Jake Burton Carpenter.

Share your day with #RideOnJake and pick up a free sticker sheet at your local Burton store, as well as select snowboard shops and resorts.

It's the same here on our side of the pond in Switzerland. We live in the middle of the middle of nowhere and like Barry said, a lot of people from other areas with second homes, staying with friends, in hotels for extended periods. Most of the people vacationing here were either ski touring, doing snowshoe trails, cross country skiing, went sledding with their kids and even our tiny little ski resort seemed full most of the season. Most people had Swiss license plates from other areas of Switzerland and the odd German license plate.

Funding has always been our biggest problem. There are tons of projects we have in the pipeline... A smaller shell, A larger shell, junior boards and binding, etc. But without any kind of financing to actually make the moulds or start the projects, we can't roll out anything new. As you can imagine, the whole C19 situation has hit us (and many other production companies) pretty hard. We do have many ideas for a normal and a step in binding, but we will have to wait for some kind of world economic turn around really soon or we will see a lot of favorite companies disappear. We are okay at the moment because we are tiny, but there are others who are having a really hard time right now. So please think of and pray for the whole industry to come out of this.

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and kind words about our boots! We really appreciate your kind words and feedback

Do you mean this board? This is from Lukasz Slapa's Instagram page. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLOfQmZhMII/

Hubby used to get some pretty bad back pain which was always relieved after he went snowboarding! Probably better than any chiropractor could do!

Welcome! Feel free to follow us too IG: https://www.instagram.com/mountainslope/ Have fun on the slopes! Jennifer

Yes, Korua boards are not made in China

Alexey is right, unless the shell is too big for you.

"Aside from lacking the all-important cool factor, hard boots have always been extremely expensive to manufacture. The cost of a mold for each size of each boot model can be close to $100,000. Why spend all that money on new tooling and injection-molded plastic when you can make cheaper, oversized sneakers out of leather, stitching and glue and pay pros to say they’re the best? Then they’d fall apart after a season or two of hard riding and customers would have to buy a new pair." The best part of that whole article... and this is something we discuss pretty often. Softboots can be easily redisigned (style, color, function, etc.) every single season. Plus they cost next to nothing to produce. A product which is relatively inexpensive to produce can also be sold for a lower price compared to the hardboot counterpart.

Please feel free to share why you prefer to ride with a plate system or without.

Yes, people do it but we don't recommend it. How do the shells fit the width of your foot without any liner at all? Are they touching the sides? We recommend you try heating the form liners first or try a thinner race liner before considering heating the plastic. It's easier and cheaper to replace a liner than it is a plastic shell.

Hi there, why do you want to heat the plastic shell? All of the versions are Grilamid with and the new Race Department Flex 130 is GrilamidPlus

Not in the lift line but our 5yo has ski week with the kindergarden this week. Our daughter asked him if he knows what skiis are.... His answer was "2 little snowboards. One on each foot"
