  1. hi,

    need to move heels to new boots...I don't want to break anything so figured i'd ask before applying more force.  i'm supposed to just push the cable back through the hole to release the heel, right?  not sure how i got it in, b/c the (shielded) cable seems too thick to be pushed through....maybe I just need to push harder?

  2. Hi All,

    at the end of last season, my old Deeluxe boots (my first and only pair of hardboots) cracked, so I can't ride at all until I get something new. Really don't want to pay $600

    Carver's paradise looks to have some good deals. Anyone know if there is any major difference b/w the Deeluxe Track 325 and the Deeluxe Alpine Track 325?  They certainly appear to be similar (perhaps identical) - maybe the black and red one is just an earlier version? 

    https://www.carversparadise.com/en_US/products/track-325black-white   vs.  https://www.carversparadise.com/en_US/products/deeluxe-alpin-track-325-thermo-black-red

    Any wisdom is appreciated!

     

     

  3. Hi All,

    I'm supposed to fly up, rent a  car, and be on the snow next Thursday and Friday (and possibly Sat). Even though I'm getting my tickets at a steep discount, this isn't gonna be a cheap trip.  I see that they dont even have 50% of the mountain open and there is still rain (though some cold temps as well) to come.  

    Has anyone ridden Stowe in the past few days (or somewhere near there) and can provide a first hand report?  If I go, is it even worth bringing my carving board?  I may just bag this trip altogether if it's that bad.

    So damn tired of this BS on the east coast, ready to move out West!

  4. Hi All,

    I've been riding with a dual boa (K2 Mayasis) setup for a few seasons and I think they are prone to causing pressure points on my feet, which obviously makes things uncomfortable. I also have skinny ankles and a narrow foot, so I suspect I'm probably tightening the a bit too much.  Even so, I'm ready to return to lace-ups.  Any recs for a boot that's mid flex rating and perhaps geared more toward a narrower (male) foot? And that's nice and warm as well! (though not overtightening my boots will certainly help with that).

  5. hi tpalka,

    I ended up buying one as well!  I bought the surf adapter (for the front) and the rail (for the back).  As many people have said, it's a game changer - allowing for much much tighter turns, but also a lot more wobbly, esp. when pushing off.  

    how long did it take you to install?  It took me much longer than I think it should, but perhaps that's b/c I didn't have a specific tool....

    You might want to look at the Donek Talon if you have a tight budget. $485 for a brand spanky new board built just for you is a hard thing to pass up!

    X has one. It’s been phenomenal.

    @Ohob

    Yes, that's doable and I was reading about it. Any other thoughts you have on it?
