    I ended last season on the final day Camden was open March 15th. Definitely a carvable hill. Nor'Easter is a good run to learn on...

     

    I was there that day also. I spent that evening scouring the web for any ski areas that didn't shut down

    The biggest challenge tends to be configuring the gear so it works for you, rather than you working around it.

    Happy to discuss. https://beckman.fit/contact/

    Thank you.  I'll reach out for sure.

  2. I got out on the jasey jay snx162  today for a few runs at camden snow bowl.  It was my first time on an alpine board. I went with 55 front and 50 rear binding angles.   I was more comfortable with the stance than I expected.  The conditions were very hard pack and ice.  I was impressed with how well this board held given it is much stiffer than what I'm used to.  No falling, no edge catching.  I managed to link esses on the mellow blues.  After a few turns I would throw in a speed check.  Im excited to learn how to ride this way and am hoping for snow.

  3. Hello,

    I am new to this forum.  I have been snowboarding for a long time on soft boots with freestyle gear and stance.  Last year I started focusing on carving.  This season I have been out on hardboots with a boardercross board.  I like the hardboot feel better.  I just purchased an alpine board and would love to find some instruction somewhere in Maine.  It could be formal or informal and I would gladly pay for it.   I recognize the biggest challenges will be related to the high angles and different body position relative to what I have been riding.  If anyone is interested, I would  pay for your ticket and time.  I'm local to Camden snow bowl but can hit the loaf or other Maine mountains without too much trouble.  As you know, it is difficult / impossible to find formal alpine instruction around here.

    thanks,
