I am trying to educated myself. I understand the purpose of a binding plate - can someone educate me on the difference between Donek and Bomber's plate system? In addition, any advantage to mounting using the 4 hole or UPM? Thanks

Where can I find his contact information?

Where do I find the links? Today is my first day on this forum.

I live in Southeast Michigan, but have a place in Boyne City (Northern MI). Ski exclusively at Boyne Mountain up-north (downstate at Pine Knob when with my daughter's school ski club). Most of my riding is on the weekends!

Sorry - please explain radius - thanks.

Looking to have just one board. Will spend the entire day on the hill, which in Michigan means groomed conditions in the morning and everything skied off the hill at the end of the day, with a little ice. I am 48 years old - would that make a difference in board size?

I am about to place an order for a Donek Freecarve Metal - not sure what size to order (171 or 175). I do most of my boarding in Northern Michigan (550 vertical feet) on hard-pack/icing conditions, however I do take a trip out West once a year. I am approximately 6'2" and 205 pounds. It has been sometime since I have been on a hard-boot carving board set-up, but I am a proficient skier and snowboarder (soft boot set-up). Would like to purchase the 175 size board for stability and perhaps increased edge control, however since I do most of my skiing on a smaller hill with heavy traffic, I may need to compromise to the smaller size - 171. Is the difference between the 171 and 175 that material? Any advice?? Thanks
