@*Ace* guessing stock TD3 don't work on a Skwal (?) so do your demos come with bindings?
From a personal perspective, I've never even seen one in action on the hill, and I'm not even sure if my M29 landpackers would allow it (at 13.5 wide), but judging by your videos, it looks fun. I don't ski, so I feel like I would be far more likely to demo a Skwal if it came with a 'guided tour' of the basics (like how not to die ). Do you have any ambassadors scattered around that could help you out with that aspect?

It was a response to me wondering how state restrictions are going to play out at ski resorts.
No need to circle the wagons Jack. I called it how I saw it & was satified (if not in agreement) with Coreys reply. I'll leave it at that.

We agree to disagree Corey. I'm ok with that. Hate to be classified as an irrational and vocal minority!

A federal judge in Pittsburgh has ruled that Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf was arbitrary and overreaching in his Covid-19 orders shutting down businesses and imposing other restrictions, violating citizens’ constitutional rights.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court in May struck down Governor Tony Evers’ lockdown order as violating citizens’ constitutional rights.Governor Mills may want to look up these two cases, as lawsuits have followed and the businesses affected are expected to be in a protracted fight to be made whole.
And this thinly veiled political commentary relates to alpine snowboarding how?

@SunSurfer; +100 days in, you go rogue, take your eye off the ball for a quick jaunt to the snow and BAM the 'Rona returns. What were you thinking man?!!

@lowrider a tunnel might be the answer - I dont think El Chapo is very busy. I'm holding out for reports on the groom at your Tbar commune.

The longer it all rolls on, I'm thinking a seaon pass to @lowrider's T-bar ranch might be the safest bet (with the added bonus of unfettered political debate, ride-through rest rooms and some handsome livestock).
Actually, might be nice if all the mega passes just fall over and you can go back to riding with locals who don't blow in for the first 2 hours, smoke all the groom/pow, eat their packed lunch in the lodge and blow out....

Congrats @SunSurfer. Proof enough of what a well thought out response, real political nous and a willing population can achieve, even if you did have an advantage of location.
Time will tell how much heartache NZ has escaped if the dead bat does bounce, but as you say, even you hardy kiwis can't survive in isolation indefinitely; re-integration to the globally (infected) community may be your greatest challenge.

Sweet. Also love an honest opinion on how they pedal with flat battery (or zero assist). Thanks!

I'm more of a flow trail tourer rather than a 'shuttle up for the DH' rider, so other than being able to ride further in an allotted time frame, I am really torn over these - does (almost) double the price & weight deliver double the fun?
Really interested to hear you thoughts @JRAZZ & @212swat after few months use.

It's seems that Bruce (or johnasmo) has taken the recent Coiler sidecut from the last few years (10/12/11 for example) and shrunk that composite down to fit between the inserts. Then they added much larger radii in the nose and tail.
Not sure that is exactly where the idea came from

Thanks @Jack M look forward to the K v C shootout. Perhaps we can get some Thirsts lined up for a 3 way?

I guess prefer a slightly larger side cut, 11m for a 178 is just to turny for me. I have a VCamp 177 with a 12-14m and I wish it turned larger.
I believe the ability to draw out turns is one of the key elements of the Contra design (and Thirsts) - scr is much tighter between the feet.
-
@sunsurfer I was quite willing to gamble a trip in an airborne incubator, do the two weeks solitary, endure the ring of fire and perhaps even fight past some fearsome Maori warriors to make some turns, but those Taniwah are a bit much.....would September be better?!

The first victim of this pandemic was logic.
So, based on Sunsurfers open invitation to global covidugees, we should be ok to start planning a carving convention there in August. Might take a few phone calls to get Prinroth to airfreight a groomer, but I'm sure dredman can swing it. Phil can probably whistle up a heli at short notice too. I have read they do beer in personal tankers down there. 14 days in the cooler seems like a small price to pay....
