Stainless

See if you can get boots with an Intec heel Alec, just because the Volant you saw me riding has step-in TD2 bindings. I can't make it up there this Friday but I'll bring it with me and it's yours to use. Maybe the Tahoe Carvers have more spare gear. Cheers, Alan.

I'm happy to give the board a home. I'll send mail.

I'm a solid intermediate and kinda 'surfy'. I learned on a 162cm Ultraprime and a Volant SL. Most of my turns have been on a 169cm 4WD as a volunteer patroller at Incline 2005-2007. I took a Renntiger 169GS out for a day last year, but the damn thing only wanted to go to the bottom of the hill as fast as possible. It wouldn't listen to me (even less than my kids do). 5'9" 158lb, Mondo 28.5 (US10) shell.

I sold all my boards 3 years ago, thinking that I was going to become a skier instead. Well, that was stoopid. I still have TD2s and boots, but I'm looking for a ~162cm SL/freecarving kind of board, close to $200, locally. Just to do a couple of hours carving before I ski with my kids for the rest of the day. thanks, Alan.

Sorry to be absent Sammy / Wellington, I went down with a flu. I'll get shipping estimates tomorrow morning. Alan.

I was carving past a group-lesson of intermediate skiers that had stopped on a steep. The instructor watches me go around them and then said, "There - That's angulation!"

New price: $200 + shipping. Give this orphan a home.

This board was bought new in 2006 by a mate who wanted to learn to snowboard... He used it twice, got spanked, and then stored it in his garage for the next (almost) 5 years. He's loaned it to me with a view to purchase - I've taken it out on four afternoon rides, but it's not really my thing. I've kept his boots and TDs though. It's in very-good condition. I'll post photos asap. $250 + shipping. Cheers. SOLD, thanks.

Nitro, you're right. I'm a girly-man, and I need to pour myself a glass of "harden-up". I'll help myself - there should be some in the fridge.

I've 'acquired' a 2006 Renntiger 169 GS. It has fewer than a half-dozen days on it. As it's the only board I have now, and because it carves better than the price it would fetch on BOL, I'm not going to sell it. Perhaps I should really give it some time, but I have the feeling that the square-tailed, point-it-down-the-fall-line, GS-racer-thing might not be my cup of tea. I've got a sloppy, surfy way of riding the hill, and my last Prior suited me well. So before I get attached to this thing, I was just wondering if there was someone with a nice 4x4 wishing they had a Renntiger...

BTW: discounted lift tickets, and a plug for the bikeshop that sponsors the Porcupine riders: http://www.cottonwoodcyclery.com/ski/home.html

I'm fairly new to Utah, and I'm just getting back into carving. I may see you at Solitude. You can take public bus transport to the skifields in both Big and Small Cottonwood Canyons; http://www.rideuta.com/mediaRoom/pressReleases.aspx?pressReleaseID=1142 As to the beer, you could start here; http://www.utahbayou.com/ Also; be sure to taste an Epic beer from Epic's 'elevated' or 'exponential' series. The Epic brewery is just down the road from the Bayou. http://www.epicbrewing.com/ You can't taste at the brewery, but you can take it home. Great craft beer - unfiltered Belgian brews (try the 'Brainless'), his Copper Cone IPA is one of the best I've tasted. He's brewed a porter recently, 'Smoked and Oaked' which is unusual, but definately worth a taste. I spend a lot of money there. The Porcupine pub and grill is good eats and beers on tap - they're at the bottom of the Big Cottonwood Canyon and they sponsor local cycling.

include me too, thanks.

Eric, I'll buy the White Prior if not already sold. cheers, Alan.
