  4. SOFTBOOT CONTENT -- Burton Skeleton Key & SLX Boots

    in For Sale

    Posted

    Okay two killer pieces of softboot kit.

     

    Item 1: A Burton Skeleton Key.  This is from the year when the Skeleton Key was in the Family Tree.  That makes it better (don't ask me why).  158 length.  This is 100% a softboot quiver killer.  Some crappy stickers on the deck.  The base took a core shot (it was worth it for early season fresh powder) which was repaired by a true ski & snowboard wizard.  Seriously, Louis Braille couldn't feel where this base repair was done.  Edges are mint -- 2 on side, 1 on base.

     

    Item 2: Burton SLX Boots.  Not sure what year these are from.  I bet they are 10 years old...  Came out of the box NEW last year!  There is a bit of fading/yellowing on the soft rubberized that keep the boot engaged with the highback.  Performance is still first-class, as you should expect from Buton's SLX boots.  Less than four hours on snow for these.  They are a size 10; which is my usual Burton size.  FYI, I'm 9.5 in Thirty-Two boots... But I think these run big for Burton.  Lets say True-To-Size 10 or maybe size 10.25.

     

    Pricing:

    Skeleton Key board: $275 USD shipped in the CONUS.  $275 CAD shipped to any Canadian province.

    Boots: $175 USD shipped in the CONUS.  $175 CAD shipped to any Canadian province.

    Shipping is INCLUDED.  Right to your door.  Slow, tracked, and with minimal insurance.

     

    Want a deal?  I'm also selling a 169 Atomic Radon swallowtail pow board.  Multi-item discount = buy two items, take $65 off the total.  Buy all 3 and take $150 off.  Whoa!

    A POWDER BEAST!!

     

    Spoon nose.  Huge Camber.  Incredible gloss topsheet with surf inspired pinstripes. 

     

    Measurements by hand --- Nose: 31cm  -  Tail: 30.4cm  -  Waist: 25.7cm

     

    Swallow tail offers a small decrease in surface area to help the tail sink (and nose float).  This rides more like a conventional long pow board and less like a swallow-tail.  It is quite stiff; for comparison: equal or maybe even more stiff than a Kessler BX.  Carves beautifully on groomers, and is much more nimble in the trees than you'd expect for a >5'6" snowboard.

     

    Could be used with hardboots.  I only ever used it with softboots.  I have a pair of very responsive Rossi bindings we could work into the deal if you're in need a stiff binding.  Bought from the former Bomber Classifieds community.  Topsheet has a some minor binding marks.  Base is a 6 or 7 out of ten (no patch-jobs, has never taken a core shot).

  17. Powder Board Recommendation 18/19

    in The Lodge

    Posted

    Hey Fellow Rippers,

    I'm looking for some help selecting a new snowboard.  This winter I am headed for a week of riding in Utah!  So exciting, I have heard mythical things about their POW.

    So what snowboard(s) is ideal for this adventure?  My tentative plan is to bring two or three boards, and softboots only.  Here are my most appropriate resources:

    1. A 157ish custom Donek Baker board (super-long eff. edge, competition nose & tail).  This is a killer all-mountain board, and I'm very comfortable using it for jumps, rails, pipe, etc.
    2. A 169 Atomic Radon.  This is a massive powder board.  Swallow tail, stiffer than a Kessler SBX board.  It is most often deployed for my local mountain's annual pond skimming event.

    I have recently noticed many snowboard young-bloods riding short & stubby powder boards; reminds me of a Snurfer...  What's the consensus on these modern powder boards?  Are these for slashy park rat kiddos who are yet to lay a trench?  Or is this the new standard, and only a dinosaur would keep fighting their way through trees on a 169?

    Please respond with recommendations for a new board!  Let's say under $1k and less than a month ETA...

    FYI, I'm 35 years old, 5'10" x 160lbs, been snowboarding since the 80's.  I ride sz 10 Burton Boots, and have Burton Diode or X-Base bindings on all my softboot boards.
