Greetings all. So, after finally breaking my old AF 600s, I'm thinking of trying the RC11 with the red/soft tongue. Dan has the boot in stock, but I'm not sure about the tongues. Opinions? Thx

Many thanks to all for their efforts. What a week!

I will have for sale: Prior 4x4 169 Prior FLC 173 Burton FP 157 Catek OS1 Std short-medium No pics, but you'll seem them there.

Riding a brandy-new Coiler myself, as are Steph, and Alex.

Sent photo of FLC to your email. Did you get it?

I have a Prior FLC, 173, that I'd like to sell. Also a 4x4, 169.

I asked for the more narrow profile as my boots are 24.5 Mondo. BTW, Bruce said the first board he made for me had some kind of flaw, so he kept it as a demo. Hopefully, he'll bring it to ECES.

I've had 2 days on my Balance 174, 18.5 waist. Easy, and predictable, with excellent edge grip. Day 3 today-gonna be ccccold.

My Nirvana has 3 radii. Bruce said the Nirvana came from the VSR. Mine is the Balance model, with softer mid-section, sidecut is 10.5, 12.7, 12, with 18.5 cm waist. I originally wanted a VSR after trying Steph's 173, but Bruce recommended the Balance 174. After reading the link, I'd say Neil is right, however.

The Nirvana IS a VSR. Bruce can make pretty much anything you want, for a very reasonable price.

Come up to ECES at Stratton, and try a few. It sounds like the Coiler Nirvana would fit your needs.

Rode Stratton this AM. Good, but Spring-like. Cold temps returning midweek, so at least the snow guns will fire up.

+ 1 for GMOL. If, however, you happen to be at Mt Snow, I am a boot fitter at the Bootworks there. We can mold/shape liners, make custom footbeds, and generally solve any problems you may have.

I have a set of Catek OS1 manual latch, complete with hardware. They will fit a 25.5 boot. I sent you a photo to your email.

So, it's time to replace my Raichle AF 600s after many good years. Wondering which would be closest in flex/stiffness. Steph says go for the 325, and her advice is almost always spot on. Any opinions? Many thanks, Murph.

Anyone own/ridden one? What do you think? I'm looking at the 171. Many thanks, murphy12.

Or CMC.

Will be there by 8:15-ish Wed. Steph should be out as well. We had awesome runs today. Depending on snowfall, might be on softies Thur.

Plan to be there both days. Blue jacket, grey pants, Prior FLC. Best bet is go to main base. You can warm up off the American Express chair if you like, before heading up top.

Maybe 12" so far. Awesome day, but tough on hardboots. Still dumping; will have to see what tomorrow brings. Might two-plank it if much more falls.

Yesterday was superb. Saw Ct Carver on the Donek. Going out again today.

Note also, that Steph's SL time was fastest of all women, AND would've put her in 7th in Legend Men. Right behind Alex!

Proud of ya, Steph!!

Have been riding Stratton the last 2 days. Conditions surprisingly good, but hit it early, as the snow gets soft, and clumpy by late morning. Will be out today, as well-possibly the last day of hard booting this season, as temps will be very warm starting on Saturday.
