Bueler, one thing I would recommend is hooking up with some local carvers to look at and assess your technique and set up. If you ride Mtn High you migh want to give Slopestar or George S a private message. If you ride at BBL. myself or Terryw might be able to lend some tips The guys I mentioned are all accomished carvers, Slopestar rides softies but he can rip. Let us know by posting on the ride board when and where you're going

Hoping to make it up and carve a few turns with the LCI this year. I am planning on the second week of February!

It appears beginning tomorrow that the local resorts will have a substantial snowmaking run. Lets hope so! I need to get on the snow before I head to Salt Lake!

Did I receive a nickname? I know my time was short carving with the LCI, is there a minimum number of days before a nickname is given?

Boots are sold

From dry as a bone to opening in two days. Congrats Mtn High riders. Looking forward to having BBL resorts opening soon

Bump, price reduced!

They should work with any binding out there. The boots are also intec/fintec compatible if you are running step ins

Selling off a pair of Burton Winds that I have had as a back up pair of boots.I purchased these boots new many years ago and only used them a few times before upgrading to Deeluxe boots. I kept them around in case one of my friends wanted to try hardbooting but no one ever inquired. They have seen zero use over the last 6 years. I did put a piece of duct tape on the liner to keep the cuff pivot of the shell from wearing into the liner. Liners are in great shape and the shells are also except for a 1/2" tear in the inner cuff (red) on the right boot. It completely is hidden by the tongue of the shell so I couldn't get a picture of it. Lots of life left in these boots or buy them for backups to a pair of Wind boots that you might have. $100.00 + shipping to lower 48

Are you sure your screws are loosening? It could be the plastic of your boots are contracting in size due to the cold temps. I toss my boot shells and bindings in the freezer before making final adjustments.

I was curious as to who was goin to be getting first turns of the season. Be safe out there on the WROD!

Just curious if anyone is buying passes to the local hills or just opting for Mammoth/June this year? I will probably ante up and pick up the Summit pass that I usually get. I hope to get some more time on the slopes this year, last year was a bust for me!

Ride bike more, builds up the calves

I ride a Rossi World Cup 190 cm and I am at 185 lbs currently and can bend the Rossi into some tight arcs at my weight. Just have to commit to the carve and not slarve. Get that board in and out of the fall line as quickly as possible depending on steepness of the run. I know at your weight and length of board you should be bending it into some tight arcs. Work on technique and controlling speed on steeper runs. BTW, I ride mostly at Summit although this year hasn't been too favorable for me getting up there

Nice footage Arclite! We're you able to get the butt crack Go Pro mount functional for SES? You've got all the other angles covered!

Where are you in California? I would suggest finding out where the other riders/carvers are and ride with them. People who are experienced can quickly point out any flaws in your technique quickly. Like BlueB mentioned, I would forget about euro carving until you can perfect your technique at regular? carving. When you start leaving a thin deep rut across the fall line on toe and heel side then maybe you can begin to blend some EC Into your riding. Also, you need a fairly steep run for euro carving as there is much drag created by your body sliding on the snow. I live in SoCal and there is a large carving community that rides at the local resorts. Many are accomplished carvers and are very helpful with carving tips

When you say 'suspension' are you referring to the front and rear shock or all the rear pivots? Like Allee suggests its best to have some knowledgable person rebuild the front and rear shock but as for the pivot bearings those easily replaceable by a garage mechanic. I have done a few bearing/bushing replacements using various size sockets from your tool box and a vise with brass jaw plates to protect your frame.

Sad news. Hope she will come storming back for 2013-2014 and the Olympics!

Ten dollars?

Unbelievable! I can't believe he hides and waits to screw with you guys. Get a life angry skier! Is he the resort cop?

looks like great conditions for your event, glad you all had fun. My question is, did you have any irate skiers yelling at you for tearing up the runs this year? That was comical last year!

Very nice Sage! Nice photoshop!

I don't think so unless it shifted on the hill from me overpowering the cant screws and king pin that Catek bindings use. I will check it out tonight

Great day on the slopes with all the other carvers! Good times! Felt good to be on the Prior 4WD. I havent been on that board for a time
