Fox in the Snow

Bump still looking

@bigwavedave Appreciate it, just made a post in WTB for a good set of hard boots. We'll start with those and go from there

I'm looking for some good quality hard boots, preferable UPZ or Deeluxe, size 28.5 . This is for my starting set up, I appreciate the help. Thanks

So the length wouldn't be an issue as a starter hard boot board? it definitely seems like a good price @NateW Thank you for the insight!

Hello MN Carvers! I was referred to creating a post in this thread to inquire about gear. I'm wondering if anyone has some spare gear that they are willing to sell to help me get started in hard boot carving. I am looking for a decent board, bindings, and some quality boots size 28.5 or 29. Anything helps, thanks guys.

@Wolf @bigwavedaveThank you guys for the responses I will definitely be looking into those options as well. @Corey I like to have the option of both if that is at all possible. I often hit the slopes with my mom who is a really good skier and it is nice to be able to keep up with her.

@bigwavedaveAfton and Troll are my main two, but usually go to where I can get a deal

Yep, thats the one haha. Picked it up when I was big into the park, now I enjoy the leisurely ride. As for the advice, I will definitely try that out in a couple days. Appreciated

@Mr.E Thank you for the info! I will definitely follow up on your suggestions!

I'm thinking of going used equipment, if it makes sense to buy something new I am not afraid to pull the trigger on that. In terms of crowds, I typically ride in the mornings where it is less busy, but should probably go with tighter turns to be on the safe side.

So I measured them out and 28.5 is right. I can carve pretty decent lines already and I'm using a Burton Blunt from around 2016-2017. I would like to look into an Alpine Board

Hey all, I was wondering if you could help me out. I've been snowboarding in Minnesota since around 2008, typical soft boot style. I used to dabble in the terrain, but now I just stick to the hills. I would consider myself to be pretty decent to Minnesota standards. Anyways, I am having the urge to try out the hard boot alpine boards. I am not into racing, I just want to carve up the hill and have some fun trying something new. What I am asking for, is some recommended gear set-ups for my area. I am 6 ft 2 in and weigh 200 pounds, I ride the typical hills in Minnesota (groomed, hard packed, sometimes icy), and have been on the board for 14 years. Anything helps, Thanks guys. Edit: I wear a size 11 shoe
