[Canadian Softboot Carvers]

Well, I'm a softboot carver from Canada! I'm based in Edmonton which is much too far from the mountains, but I still do all right. I started on softboot carving shortly after I learned to snowboard - I was lucky to get an instructor who really knew how to carve. After multiple bad seasons since I broke my foot in 2014, I'm back at it with a bunch of hardboot setups as well. Still not quite where I used to be, so working on that this season - I'm sure I'll get there. 

I don't have any footage to post yet, but I want to start a snowboard YouTube channel and instagram this year.

That's awesome you've carved with Ryan, it would be on my bucket list to carve with him someday.

After going up and down a few times, the liftie said "oh I just noticed you're in hardboots, sorry, I should have been slowing the lift down for you!"

IMHO, race carving is really hardcore slarving and quite different from free carving and different equipment may apply. 

Yes, I would have to agree, they do slide a lot in the PGS.

Nice buys! I noticed that almost all the women and absolutely all of the men in the PGS events at Beijing were using these boots so they must be good. I was wondering what boots they were, and this answers that question.

The heated boot bag is great and strikes me as something I can make myself, it would plug into the 12V system in my truck.

Got a few things last year, which will be put to use in the coming months. Couple of not new things in there, too.

All mountain stuff: a secret board, carbon things to put bindings on, softer boots with softer top strap and a few different springs.

Carvey stuff: an all round size board, a bigger board, a plate, stiffer boots.

Other stuff: heated boot bag, new knees, couple of bindings. Zip fits will get rotated between boots.

Few things not pictured: an sg sleeve for moving between mountains, hope it doesn't delam, a new helmet, because I wanted to keep matching helmets with @slapos and a hydration pack so I can sweat profusely while only risking minor dehydration.
