  1. Yeah if you call the courier ie UPS, DHL direct they will want twice that for a single shipment but we have a couple of good web companys in the UK that let you book through them for a small fee to access the business account rate with the couriers which are significantly different. Would be surprised if there is not something similar in the US.

  2. Got to recomend the Elan Ascent. I've got the 169 and its great for narrow chutes or in the trees. It got 30mm taper, same as a Burton Fish but just being that bit longer it floats even better. Still light enough to hike with easily. My other pow board is a 198 Undertaker, awesome on big faces, but a real pain to hike with due to size and weight.

  3. Yeh you can kind of carve on dendix as long as you keep pretty up right and dont bank your turns too much, problem is after 3 or 4 turns your edge has heated up so much that the base starts to melt away from it (due to the friction).

    I'm currently instructing at http://ski.midlothian.gov.uk/ the longest plastic slope in europe, sure as hell nothing like steamboat where i spend my winters!
