  1. Arbor Cask...I have yet to really do any deep stuff, but for a short stick it is versatile. First 150 length board I have enjoyed riding.
  2. Until you realize this is bigger than a 2x4, bigger than inflation, than a car, than housing, covid, or any like factor, your perception will never figure this out. Those realms are only the symptoms of some other plan or "desire"...
  3. Never Summer Premier F-1 170, has center rocker, camber underfoot. Good float in real unconsolidated powder. Been riding this for 6-7 years. It could be narrower and still work. I would consider full rocker, and a stiffer profile underfoot. Perhaps a blunt pow nose like the Cask, and perhaps some sort of pow style tail, pintail maybe? Volume shifted and tapered for sure.
  4. Holy thread necromancers!!! I had almost forgotten about this one! My thoughts on this have changed some over the years. I think Stranda is onto some good things with the Bowlrider/Tree Surfer/Nallo shapes. My little 150 Arbor Cask has me believing in the volume shift, and the blunt pow nose is a good example of the thought process involved. Not sure I would take the Cask on a heli trip, or cat skiing, but 2 feet of resort pow is very easily done. I do know I don't need a huge board for most of what I do.
  5. Well, my snow is almost gone, but I've got the makings of a blue run on my 10 acres. Chain saw comes out here soon!! And my "land mines" are horse sized...
  6. Well, take your country back, so I can go north to board at a good resort!!
  7. Last time out, the liftie sez "Is that as fun as snowboarding? Oh, wait, you know what I mean!"
  8. That was way more fun than it should have been!! The tub was hilarious!
  9. I use Scarpa Spirit3 boots at this time, just switched from Dynafit TLT4 boots. One key to flex modification is the liner style you use. A tongue style liner will flex softer front to back as compared to a wrap style liner, and it can be quite different. I just swapped out mine and it suprised me. With wide feet you need to find a good boot fitter. Heat molded liners, top quality foot beds all factor into this. If boot weight is not a factor, I would tend towards a Snowboard specific hardboot, because tuning forward flex is more predictable. My $.02 FOR WHAT ITS WORTH...
  10. Do you have specs on the Venture snowboard? Waist, sidecut, etc? Looks like a v-tail based on the old swallowtail shape.
  11. Anyone going to Stevens Pass Wednesday Feb. 24? If not, definitely going to Baker.
  12. Fear can go pound sand. I ride. 'Nuff said.
  13. I've got the discs covered. Just looking for the cant now.
  14. Looking for two 4 hole discs, and a 7 degree cant for the same.
  15. If you see a senior citizen on a big free ride board with A/T boots and plates...chase me down! Either Mission Ridge or Stevens Pass Late January or early February, when I'm off work. I'm a lot closer to Canada (8 miles!), but the plandemic has put a king size crimp in me going over the border.
  16. We will be waiting for a review...
  17. This one is too funny! I got your Cask for tree days looking for stashes where I am normally riding. Think I'll keep the little old Madd freeride for crud/trees/nasty snow.
  18. None. I'm gonna save my pennies and look at the new Tanker line. I have a cap construction 185 Glissade to beat on for the time being.
  19. Just an FYI, I sent an email to them and got no response. Wish I could get my hands on one of these...
  20. Ahh, then there's always hope it will drift west a bit....
  21. Voile split, size and availability?
  22. Got it! Very good condition, and thanks!
  23. You don't know how much it hurts to step outta this line!!
  24. Trenchman, I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet, so you can be first if you like. Money talks!
  25. You is killin' me! I'm going to go broke buying boards this fall. Got pics, base/top sheet condition?
