That is AWESOME!!!

I think it all depends on your level of aggression. The newer ones seem even stiffer (I would ask @slopestar since he's far more knowledgeable than me). I am slightly lighter than you and really appreciate the 161 but I'm also a much more timid rider.

Oooohhhh shiny!

Ugly Kid Joe and Monster Magnet lately.... I feel so 90's grunge! BTW, Monster Magnet's videos are just awesome... They are sooo out there.

Please don't flame but I'll take a bad day in CO over a good day in the NE. Loveland on a bad day still has much better snow and way more terrain than Killy. That being said I've always considered days on the snow as good days.

You can get Anon fleece gaiters that block airflow really well. The only problem with them is that they also clog up with ice really easily.

Still pretty light coverage. Not much more than Fire Bowl/T. Creek. Firecut is open but not really good. Give it a couple of storms. I prefer "characters"

I'm going to change my opinion based on new data... This sidecut is awesome! There's something about it that I can't quite put my finger on but the way it hooks up and then releases is addicting! Yes, it's turny in the 166cm and ~10m radius but it's not hooky and definitely stable at speeds. The more I ride it the more I like it!

I would call today busy but fun!

Don't know if this is softboot carving worth watching but it sure is a funny take on yearning for turning

I'm tempted to go up tomorrow. I figure it's going to be a zoo anyway so if I can get in 2-3 runs it's a win. Besides, I could always relocate to the lift 3 lot and get some more runs...

Guys, snowboards please not politics. Can we just talk about the Contra? Like how I am completely conflicted with this board. Sometimes it's the greatest thing since this bread-slicing app I just downloaded on my iPhone and sometimes I really just want to cry. I rode it Friday and while I admit that I sucked more than usual I had moments where it hooked up and was really really fun. I do find it more eager to complete turns than a racing board like the VSR or the REV. Flexier too but the overall impression of my 166 A/T is TURNEY!!! It's not a F2 SL 162 type turney (or MADD type turny for that matter) it's way more mellow than that especially on the nose or tail. But once you get it to bend in the middle it hooks up and turns so quickly! It's really fun!

I finally made it up there! And meh... I seem to be inflicted with the same meh that's going around. Met up with the Slopestars and took a couple of runs with Katie and Julia, then did another run with Lance. The snow was excellent and the mountain was really empty for the first hour. The problem is me. Just not feeling this season yet. Honestly I'm enjoying softboots much more. I hope to end this curded year, put it back where it belongs and start enjoying 2021! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a very good new year to you all.

20-30 °F, 5-10 mph wind... Is this even Loveland?!? I'm running out of excuses

Oof! Do I want to drive 2 hours each way for 4 runs...? Gawd I hate 2020. Glad you made it up there tho! EDIT: Well that plan didn't last long. Work had to intrude. Why the hell would you schedule a meeting (an important one, no less) the day before Christmas?!? Gawddamn grinches! I guess I'm back to planning on Friday. Told you I was unreliable!

I'm thinking the same. I hope the weather and impending Christmas will suppress the number of patrons but it probably will mean nothing. Anyway don't take this as me saying I'll be there. These days I'm less reliable than a McDonalds Ice cream machine...

Check Cotrip before you go... May the odds be ever in your favor!

I don't even know the night before! This season is off to a really slow start and I haven't really wanted to drive up. That being said my Coilers are giving me accusatory looks. I might have to go!

OpenSnow 30-40 SUSTAINED

That's my feeling s well! Super turney (and that's good!) on center but doesn't bite when you are over the nose or tail.

FYI...

Board is sold!

Liners are sold as well. Sorry.

Jacob I'm sorry but someone was already ahead of you on the boots. They are sold.
