What's left to review? I can't tell what is making this new ride so sweet....is it the board, the boots, the bindings, the dashingly handsome rider...who knows?! The boots although very uncomfortable at 1st, after some great advice and suggestions here, the new Intuition "Luxury" liners and some amazing boot doctory, were almost perfect...just 1 minor tweak is needed on my right boot shell due to my high instep (from my ballet days). The board grabs onto a turn and effortlessly moves me through it, I was a little shaky at 1st, but after 2 hard pack, full groomed runs, I was carvin like never before. I've been out on the set-up 5 times now and I am looking forward to some more snow and a upcoming 8 day trip to Stowe, VT in mid-March will hopefully have me laying out some big awesome carved turns!

Like I never stopped riding hard boots! WOW! Dialed in and carvin like the old days! Effortless edge engagement and super fun! Boots could use a slight tweak on my right instep, but overall, STOKED TO BE BACK!!

SOOO much better than stock! Still need some tweaking, but I know i can ride for at least 60 minutes without having to unbuckle buckles. The weather has gone to shite...trying to get up and out tomorrow morning for some early morning runs in at Bellayre to get things dialed in...we shall see.

Final fitting in progress... Holy shite these Intuition Luxury liners already feel 110% better than the stock UPZ liners...and I'm not even done with the molding!!

Appointment was great and yes, Gary is the man. Super knowledgeable, attentive to the details, passionate about the art of boot fitting and he's been doing it for 25+ years! Now the problems... Ski Barn was out of stock of all Intuition liners. So I'll be heading back after my trip to Mexico to finalize the liners.

Top sheet sticker inclusion and placement is CRUCIAL!

I wanted to see it in person, I'll probably return it.

Pfff....What's a few more sheckles!?!

In the new alpine, hard boot world, are stomp pads & leashes still a "thing?"

Yes you do! I've asked the boot fitter to bring in both the medium and the high volume to try both.

Daveo, No reason for tongue style over overlap style, didn't give it much thought? At this point I just want to get my feet into a liner and boot I can have on for more than 15 minutes!

Thank Daveo, I already researched the shite outta the Intuition line and after speaking with the boot fitter, he strongly suggests the "Luxury" Intuition liners. Problem is is he is out of stock and I'm leaving for Mexico this Saturday. It's a double edged sword...going to a warm tropical location for 2 weeks in late January, while leaving your 24+ years in the making, fancy, brand new snowboard set-up home! Very good question...??? I'll have to check late tonight.

I spoke with Greg last week who told me he is OUT of the Intuition "Luxury"liners I want. I tried to find them online, but I won't have them by Wednesday. I am leaving for Mexico this Saturday for 2 weeks. Greg said he will have them for me when I return.

Yup, a few minutes fully buckled works fine, any longer and the pinch points are unbearable. Cant wait for my boot fitting appt.! I think it's just the angle of the picture.

Still need to get it on snow and dial in stance and angles...February & March are gonna be fun!! ~ SG Full Carve 170 ~ SG Performance Bindings ~ UPZ RC12 Boots

For your viewing pleasure.... Still need to get it on snow and dial in my stance and angles.

Ski Barn in Wayne has Intuition liners, what style and sizes will require another phone call. Whats weird about their shitty website is that there isn't a single mention of boot fitting services. In today's digital age and with major online options for ski/snowboard equipment, you would think this would be predominantly displayed somewhere on Ski Barn's website. Oh well, I need to make another call to Ski Barn and speak to some kid who will put me on hold to ask Greg my specific liner questions. As much as I hoped to get to Mountain Creek by Saturday, my plans have fallen to shite. I may try to sneak out next week, Monday or Tuesday late afternoon, but it will be a game day call.

That may very well happen! I'm leaving for Mexico on the 26th for 2 weeks...if I return, in 1 piece, I have 10 days setup at Stowe Mt. in late February into March...plenty of time to test this stuff out! Besides, the best riding the past few years has been way late in the season for us on the Ice Coast!

My appointment with Greg is set for next Wednesday, 3pm at Ski Barn in Wayne...they carry a selection of Intuition liners.

Next Wednesday, 3pm at Ski Barn in Wayne with Greg!

I got the below info from the Intuition website.

Fingers, not inches.

Mutant message sent...thanks!

I have a brand new pair size 27-27.5 for sale.

Just made my boot fitting appointment with Greg at Ski Barn in Wayne, NJ for next Wednesday at 3pm. Every review I've read says he is the best of the best in the Tri-State area. I don't have the time or patience to try the DIY boot fitting route. I've spent over $1500 for this great setup, what's another $150 to $225 to have a professional dial in the most important part of this setup!?! Gonna try to get over to Mountain Creek in the next few days to see if I can take a run or 2 in the stock Flo liners...anyone heading out that way? Mutant message sent...thanks!
