    Sorry Pat, horse hockey.

    When you use a 40.99 handicap on a par 22.5 course and your handicapped time changes that 22.5 par course to a 17.32 par course....

    You're adding 5.22 seconds onto the times of anyone that races that course.

    Which is around 25 ? nastar handicap points.

    Right, you no longer set a stubbies course because no Alpine Snowboarders want to deal with skewed times. it's a pity because there are lots of Alpine riders that love to get on a course.

    Wow.  I just enjoy riding through the course and appreciate that Pat takes the time to set a course with stubbies.

    I couldn't care less about handicaps and the results of others and take the sage  advice of noschoolrider:

    more rewarding to focus on being the best (fastest) racer you can be on a variety of courses, instead of focusing on getting the lowest handicap on easy (or what you feel are "honestly handicapped") courses.

    You’ve purchased a really nice snowboard!

    Elan, a Slovenian company, got into the high end race board game with the idea that Zan Kosir and Jure Hafner (both Slovenians) would leave Oxess and ride Elan.  Hafner did, but Kosir backed out and returned to Oxess.

    Elan decided to opt out of manufacturing snowboards following this turn of events.

    The remainder of the boards are available at discounted rates.  I am very happy with the 164 sl I picked up last season.

    You could have knocked this thread on the head after the first response. 

    Internet riding advice is spotty, let alone the medical variety. 

    Get a referral, get an MRI and a consult with a specialist. Then you’ll know what you’re dealing with and can build from there. 

    This.
