Check your invoice… 2 medium size flex medium. Let me know if you need another copy. Sorry for any confusion!

New trail map says it will run 7 days a week.

The new area is big! Hard to judge slope on foot but it looks like it could be awesome terrain for letting a GS board fly. Pic from this spring after initial cutting:

That's a steal, F2s are great. I have a WC163 that I love.

Rad Air Tanker. Paging Dr. @svr

Active roster. Not showing the plated race boards because I don’t think my shoulder will allow that this season, but this is not too shabby.

There it is. The previous owners of Bomber made some odd decisions about reformatting the articles into pdf, and even deleting several that I had worked very hard on. I just haven't gotten a round tuit to fix/restore them. Stupid day job. Don't forget about Nate's sidecut calculator! https://forums.alpinesnowboarder.com/topic/56129-sidecut-calculator-reborn/

Pretty. Looks like the bindings were mounted once and never again!

Snowboards do not need releasable bindings. So understand that with this system on a snowboard you are basically using two bindings on each foot for no reason. On a snowboard you would really want to just bolt the Apex exoskeleton to the board and not have another 5+ pounds and 2 inches of bindings in between. But for the purpose of using a snowboard and a pair of skis in the same day without changing boots, these are an option. Another would be K2 (formerly Full Tilt) ski boots, or UPZ snowboard boots with their DIN toe/heel blocks. As long as sole length isn't a serious issue.

Yes. And a competent shop can heat and stretch the shell a little if necessary.

https://skylineouterwear.ca/ is lead/designed by a former racer. I can recommend the gear although it has a fairly trim fit. Otherwise I've also had good luck with Burton AK gear. Thirsts are popular in western NA. Glad you did not cheap out on this endeavor. Bindings - Bomber Trench Diggers are the most durable, but stiffer. I love them. F2 Race Titanium are also popular, but they are more flexible side to side, if that appeals. You can buy them from donek.com. If you go with F2, buy an extra lift kit so you can have toe lift on your front binding and heel lift on your back binding. Remove the inward cants that come installed in F2 bindings to get started. If you go with Bomber, I recommend starting with two 3-degree discs.

6m sidecut - I guess forget laying that one over.

Azdel?

Noted, thanks.

LFG Could be a big year... https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/weather/weather-blog/what-can-maine-expect-for-snow-this-winter-weather-noreaster/97-c0707bbf-ace2-4b48-a80d-685fef30f76b To be capped off by the total solar eclipse going straight over Sugarloaf on April 8!

I have $1800 into it and I used it part time for 2 seasons along with 3 other boards. I would need to get $1000 for it plus shipping. I won't be able too take pics until I get back up to the mountain in the coming weeks. Thanksgiving at the latest. Here's a pic of it in action at MCC. Cannot believe I'm selling it as it was my favorite board ever. You'd appreciate the 21cm waist.

This board rides nothing like the stock 185 which I also have.

lol, the store has been there for a few years. Go back and get yourself an ASB shirt!

Cool. If it doesn't work out I will be listing a custom Kessler 180, 21cm waist, 15m equivalent radius, with some hook to finish the turn unlike a GS board. I've used it with success in beer league. Phenomenal board, I just got a Winterstick Squaretail 185 late last season that I like a little better.

Brother Dave, @dhamann, has taken the bull by the horns to become a North American distributor for these aftermarket softboot enhancements.

Check out his review of the POWERRIDE tongues here:

The statement "the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman" is a common historical quip that reflects certain complexities and paradoxes associated with the Holy Roman Empire. To understand this statement, it's important to delve into the historical context of the Holy Roman Empire. 1. "Holy": - The term "holy" in the Holy Roman Empire's name refers to the empire's close association with the Roman Catholic Church. The Holy Roman Empire was founded in 800 AD when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as the Holy Roman Emperor, signaling the fusion of political and religious authority in Western Europe. - However, the "holiness" of the empire was often in question due to the frequent power struggles and conflicts between emperors and popes, such as the Investiture Controversy. This tension between religious and secular authority made the empire's "holiness" a matter of debate. 2. "Roman": - The use of the term "Roman" in the Holy Roman Empire's name is often seen as an attempt to connect the empire to the ancient Roman Empire, suggesting a degree of continuity. - In reality, the Holy Roman Empire was primarily a Germanic entity, with its core territories located in the area of modern-day Germany. While it did include other regions and peoples, it was not Roman in terms of its cultural or administrative heritage. To further explore these ideas: - The Holy Roman Empire was a loose confederation of states, and the central authority was often weak and fragmented. It was more of a patchwork of various territories ruled by different princes, dukes, and other nobility, each with their own interests and allegiances. This decentralization contrasts with the centralized and unified rule of the ancient Roman Empire. - The Holy Roman Empire's borders were constantly shifting, and it was not a stable, enduring entity like the ancient Roman Empire. It was characterized by a lack of a fixed, defined territory, which made it challenging to consider it "Roman" in the traditional sense. - The Holy Roman Empire's history was marked by frequent conflicts and wars, both internally and externally, which sometimes led to its authority and power being questioned. This is in stark contrast to the perception of the ancient Roman Empire as a powerful and stable entity. In conclusion, while the name "Holy Roman Empire" was used to convey a connection to Roman and Christian heritage, it is accurate to say that it was neither "holy" in the sense of absolute religious unity nor "Roman" in the sense of cultural or political continuity with the ancient Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire was a unique and complex political entity with its own distinct characteristics and historical development.

Surprised it didn't just say "how much time ya got?"

Lower back stretches. Sit on something so your knees are at a 90° bend, spread your legs apart and put your palms on the floor. If that’s not enough do it on the stairs where you can reach your hands even lower. And brush your teeth.

Yes, it's the same exact process, just with a snowboard hardboot. Of course if the bootfitter tries to talk you into 4 buckle Langes...
