I probably have a pair kicking around. I will look tonight when I get home.

[Closing weekend shenanigans @ Bigsky?]

Looks like closing weekend is April 17th and 18th. $79 tickets are still available. X and I are thinking about heading over, anyone else?

I share this page reluctantly. You can fall in a tech black hole. Still interesting to see how rotating the disc affects lift and cant:

[UPZ BOOT RIDERS POLL. HEAL LIFT OR NO HEAL LIFT?]

6 degrees toe lift on front, 3 degrees heel lift rear. 65/60. W/ 19 3/4 width.

If I ride the old nitro’s - 3 toe front, 3 heel rear, 55/50-45 at 17’ish width. Makes you wonder how we rode that narrow of a stance

44 inches in the past 5 days and nooobody goes there! Chay Donnelly, one of the original Montuky carvers works there.

I am a sinner... That's why they don't let me into Montana (I'll convert you all!!!)

 

how does it ride with one plate?  Would a mess kit tin plate be better for durability?

[Thirst 8RW LFF SOLD]

I was going to save this for X, but it’s time to let it go. I will be spending most of my time on my XC. 
 

Made March 20th, 2018 for our very own Mr. Redman. Left foot forward. Flex index is .195. 19.5cm waist.
Sidewall info- 20mar180028 px2 385l19tf2tc *4dr* lff

Even at my 150lbs I can ride this. 
$800 obo + shipping for this amazing ride!

[Ace Skwal Demo Board]

Seriously though, if you are at MCC give it a shot. Don’t sit in the backseat, ride it on the ball of your front foot or a little forward of that. 

[Ace Skwal Demo Board]

I tried it and lived! Only linked 3 turns, but I lived! Probably provided a good half hour of blooper material for the Warren Miller crew. 

[Ace Skwal Demo Board]

I’m going to take the leap this year!

[UPZ Ski Adapter Install Instructions? Real world experience?]

You could always use some ski-blades like k2 fattys. They use a non-release style binding that should fit. They are stupid fun

[UPZ Ski Adapter Install Instructions? Real world experience?]

The toe pieces are lower @ the front bale but almost 1/4 inch thicker overall. It does have a slight benefit of raising the toe, but at the cost of front bale position 

[UPZ Ski Adapter Install Instructions? Real world experience?]

The short answer is yes, they will work.
The long answer is your boots might not fit your bindings anymore. The heel piece is extended back almost an inch. The material mine are made of is quite soft and was getting chewed up pretty bad. Not shown is the necessary 1/2 moon spacer. 
 

the 8 screw holes you see hold the heel cover on. There are the standard 4 holes under that. 
 

all that being said, I’d just buy a second hand set of ski boots and use them.

Oh wow! This is going to make someone very happy!

@SunSurfer if you or anyone else in the carving community wants to take on filming, editing and producing videos of the carving clinics, please contact me.  

I will be shooting as much of Gilmore’s sessions with X as I can. I will try to keep my mouth shut and only occasionally cheer!

[Ramp on inside sole of soft boots?]

Lol the comment was actually aimed at everyone. Most people don’t know they have a digital level in their phones.

If you have an iPhone, use the measure app. Has a built in angle finder. I use it for Cateks

[Average skidder softbooter becomes fully laid out blitzing hardboot carver in 26,000 vertical feet .]

Honestly, I wish I had the opportunity’s X has! For being 13, and only maybe 20 days in hardboots so far he’s doing great!

[Average skidder softbooter becomes fully laid out blitzing hardboot carver in 26,000 vertical feet .]

The first part of the that run is obnoxiously flat, but is a great spot to work on cat track skills and avoid moving gates (aka people)
