Icebiker: Sounds like you're a weekday rider as well. Like I said above, blue mtn is best for me. Regardless, email me if you're interested in meeting up on a weekday and hopefully we can get it done! jonathanrandolphlong at gmail dot com Teach: I'm thinking an AM board, like the Coiler one you mentioned, might be the way for me to go.

Thank you guys for all the awesome feed back!! Wow, so much help. I'd be pretty lost without this site! There's not much else on the web for beginners. I'm looking at a new pair of UPZ RC10 leftovers from 2013-2014. Also snow pro fast race bindings. I'd rather have Bomber bindings but the seller won't sell just the boots. I went to a local ski shop and got my feet sized. It appears I'm def a 29.5. Also, i tried on a pair of 29.5 Head ski boots at the ski shop just to see how they felt. They felt hard! Obviously this would be the case coming from soft boots. As far as size wise and I think 29.5 is the right one (I wear about a 12-12.5 street shoe). Teach: there was a race and a bunch of hard booters there for it. That's what put me over the edge. I've been interested for years but seeing a mass of alpines racing and carving got me to get serious about it. I'd so appreciate meeting up with you! My "home" mtn is blue mtn. I get there once /week, maybe twice if this frustrating weather cooperates. I always go during weekday working hours. But I could prob do a weekday evening if necessary. My pass there is off peak, and I'd rather not blow the cash for a crowded weekend day anyway. I could also meet u at bear creek if you'd rather. If camelback is it, then I could prob find a day & time that will work for both of us (just another half hour from my house then blue). Please email me: jonathanrandolphlong at gmail to coordinate Thanks again to everyone for all the help advice and info!! Enjoy the ride!

I'm trying to switch from soft boot to hard booting. I've been boarding since 1994 and love to go fast and carve. Last week I was at Camelback in PA and saw a bunch of alpine boarders racing. Watching them carve put me over the edge. I've been reading everything I can about hardbooting and am ready to purchase. Hoping to find a solid used board to get started. Any suggestions on boards, bindings, boots etc? I'm 6'0" and 250 pounds but am in pretty good shape. Thanks for any and all advice!

Beautiful board! I'm new to hardboot world but wanting to jump in. I'm a big guy. Do you think this board would be well suited for a big fellow?
