It's empty but not midweek summer empty up here. Some people came up here to "get away from it".
The ban on uphill travel is to keep people from coming back from away. They aren't going to be out there kicking people off the hill. They were done clearing the mtn on Monday and Tuesday.

Wow, glad the guy who comes to Sugarloaf two weekends a year agrees with me!

This weather and future predictions do not look great for future carving.

Discovery, MT riding with some of the Montucky Crew and the newest member X!
Isn't it odd to see a child without a helmet these days?

If you're having trouble trying to decide between surfing in Maine in the winter and coming to Sugarloaf, which is arguably the best carving mountain on the East Coast, you should probably go surfing.

Does this board come with some of your southern charm? Will it get me in the pictures?

Guy, get your excuses ready.

Guy, you know how I know?

You need to ride with the GeoffMeister. He holds court at Wa Wa.

So where is the injection port? A pic maybe?
I have a pull loop on the top of the tongue, the port is right between the two ends of the loops. It doesn't look like much it's just two pieces of fabric that you can pull apart and stick a cork tube in.

@trailertrash you have been using Zipfit for a while. I know you suffered from cold feet a lot.
For me as @Jack M indicated heel hold is a top priority, good stiff liner and toe warmth. I also suffer from snow coming in under the tongue and getting a soaked liner by the end of the day. The snow issue is because of the high angles we create when carving.
If you're having heel hold issues in a Zipfit you probably don't have enough cork.

The hostel is a good deal. It's on the shuttle route so you wouldn't have to drive to the mtn.

It's going to be mobbed here this weekend. Snow coming later today should make the drive up interesting for folks. Some pretty light snow/freezing rain happening now.

doesn’t stop me from laying it out in the turns and getting down like four flat tires!
Those words don't match that picture.

It is unfortunate that I don't do much alpine snowboarding these days (I last touched my alpine, which is Madd, back in 2006) for I have gone on to skiing and ski carving on my lib tech skis.
This is the attitude I don't understand. "Well, when I was paying attention this board was great! I haven't paid attention for a while but I still think this board is great!"
Wtf!?

Burton gets a lot of irrational hate for being successful and also for leaving alpine, but they did more than anyone to support
At this point have they been out of it longer than they were in it?

Is see "Bomber Butter" thread lubricant is not offered on Bomberonline.com anymore.
I always thought it was just for the underside of the head of the bolts. Not actually for the threads.

That trip in is no joke. We did it straight to Chimney Pond in one day and it was rough. That last three miles is all up hill. Once you get up there though it's like you are out west.

The vein method worked for me; when i molded my intuition liners i taped pieces of foam
to all of my problem areas, including the veins around the instep.
I am talking about foam injected liners, not what you have. Basically, no one has done this on foam injected liners.

Maybe get your ears recalibrated?
I've been party to more than a few liner jobs. Some of which were horribly botched on account of corner cutting/haste.
Cold toes/feet have several origins, chief among them restricted circulation/lack of capillary refill associated with excess pressure over the instep. In most, (but not all) cases I've seen, reduction/removal of pressure either restores or greatly improves warmth.
Unless I'm mistaken, your extremities run to the cold side, and that makes you a good candidate for heated socks, regardless of which liner you use.
You haven't answered my question. How many people do you have first hand experience in this vein tracing method while foamed working on?

In order to properly foam a set of liners, the tech should provide clearance over each of the prominent veins of the feet. This is usually done by taping something over the veins. Thick yarn, gummi worms, surgical tubing, Fettuccini al dente, etc. If this is not done, the foam, as it expands and then sets, will flatten said veins, and the customer will have cold feet.
How many people do you have first hand experience with this working on? Sounds a little bit like bullshitski to me. There's no insulation on the toes of my foam liners. I don't care what you do to your veins it's not going to matter. Also, you have one shot to get this right, one. My heated socks work in my ski boots, snowboard HB's, softboots, moto boots... etc.
