Also if you have the time you should ride at Snowbird. Over 3000 vertical great terrain and true snowboarding was virtually invented there. Dimitri Milovich was working and skiing there when he came up with the idea of surfing on snow. He invented and developed the first true powder snowboard made of fiberglass with a foam core and named it the "Winterstick". There is tons of snowboarding history in that canyon. Mick

You no longer have to buy a membership to the private clubs any one can now get into them. Beer bars only were never membership. And you don't have to buy food to be able to drink. The microbreweries maybe I'm not real sure. And they sell some wicked brews that are 8%. There are a couple microbreweries in downtown SLC. The trains (Frontrunner) does not run up to or in the canyons, but there are ski buses that go up the canyons. Just log onto UTA and you will see more info there. Brighton is at the top of Big Cottonwood canyon and Solitude is about a mile and a half down canyon from it. Brighton gets crowded with skiers and a ton of jibbers though. Solitude is usually as the name implies. I live about 25 miles north of SLC and have to go to the Really Lame resorts by me though. Have fun when you come out, there is a TON of new snow in Big and Little Cottonwood canyons now.

Well said.

Thanks, I'll keep checking back. Mick

If you decide to sell the Coiler please put me first in line. Mick

Mine is the model year before that Rossi. So that is why I would love the buy your metal Coiler.I probably wouldn't know how to act with as nice of a board like that. Mick

Please put me on the list if you would. I'm very interested in buying this board. I desperately need an upgrade from my 90's 163 Rossi Slayer. Mick

Just got back from trenching, and the wife likes the 165 so I'll have to pass also. These boards are really fun carving boards. Whoever picks this up will love it. I've ridden mine for a couple of years off and on and it is a Blast all around the mountain.

I am very interested in buying this board. I currently have the same board in a 165 length. It has killer rebound and carves well, plus rides crud and powder. Send me an email. I will reply when we get back from riding Snowbasin today. Mick

Are they still available? Called the number, left a message, no reply. Still for sale?

Thanks everyone for the welcome. Sorry I didn't reply sooner as I was in Moab for the week riding mountain bikes. Nils, that is me in the short video. I'm thinking the timeframe is probably the same winter we went to France or the winter of '82. Since I am in my Mother Karens one piece that was part of my Team gear. Also I was spelling my name in the snow in the other video.(only guys can do that.) The other people on the trip were, Matt Ryan, Scott Jacobson (Jake), and Paul Loxton (from Australia via Chile.) I hope I spelled your last name right Jake. We had modified our original strap bindings to a nylon strap toe piece and bungee cord heel with BMX pads for padding. They worked OK for the time, but nothing like my current plates and hardshell boots. It was truly a great time then, and none of us envisioned what it would eventually become. Now I'm just trying to have FUN and keep a VERY low profile, you know, let everyone else that came after have their glory. I'm just thankful that Dimitri is such a brilliant guy and pretty much invented the sport, Thanks Dim!

In the winter of 1981 the V.P. of Winterstick (Renee Sessions)three friends and I went to Les Arcs to "introduce wintersticking" to the skiers of France at the request of Alain Gaiumard (sp) who was the mountain manager at the time.We were called the "Winterstick Team" by Dimitri and Renee and also the French press. So I wonder if the name just carried over for a while until the term snowboarding came about. Mick
