Follow up:
I gave my snowboards, bindings (not all) and boots to my closest friend. He's bored with skiing, so he's going to take up snowboarding for some challenge. He took the Catek Olympic Series, but he's going to pay for them as they still have a good reselling value. I was looking at the selling value of the Cateks and I'm surprised by the price they are still selling used! I will have the Burton Performance and Catek World Cup for sale soon.

West carven,
My website is (sort of) back online. The website is a little broken, but the gallery works fine, so you should have access to all the older catalogs I had.

terekhov, I think they are size 9

Hi west carven,
(Almost) everything is still there, new (similar) url, but stupid thing, it's offline because I have to get a keyboard to turn it on (it's an old webserver besides my desk). I'll post back when it's online.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi guys,
It's been 10 years since I snowboarded last time. It's also been 9 years since I posted here last time. Lots has changed, it's not even BomberOnline anymore! I found that the pleasure I get from snowboarding is not worth the time, cost and hassle it requires. I've done some renovations recently and found all my snowboarding stuff. I'm not sure what to do with it since it's so old!
Here's what I have:- 1998 Nitro GTX 166 snowboard
- 1997 Burton Performance bindings
- Catek World Cup bindings
- Catek Olympic Series bindings
- 1997 Burton Furnace hardboots
Other stuff:
- 1993 Burton Air 6.1 snowboard
- 1993 Burton Freestyle bindings
- 2000 Burton Glide softboots
- 2004 Giro Nine9 helmet
- 1994(?) Burton snowboard bag
Maybe the bindings are still worth something.
Nitro board very cheap locally? (not worth shipping)
Burton board very very cheap as a rock board?
Burton hardboots for parts? (too old to ride safely)
Burton softboots and board bag could be sold locally
Burton freestyle bindings in the trash
Helmet too oldAny input?
Thanks all!
P.S. I know about the classifieds, looking for opinions first, thanks!

1993 Burton Air 6.1 with original bindings (the first year of 3D).

Quand j'habitais à Québec (2003-2004), je préfèrais Le Relais plutôt que Stoneham. Ambiance familiale, il y avait quelques autres riders alpin aussi.

Je suis allé à Bromont mercredi le 13 janvier en soirée. Les conditions étaient belles, mais il y a trop de monde, même les soirs de semaines. C'est la 2e fois que j'y vais et je ne trippe pas. C'est une belle montagne, mais c'est pas super pour carver (selon mon expérience, ça peut-être différent pour vous).
-
Mont Habitant est la meilleure option selon moi. Moins de monde, une bonne gang en snow alpin, belles pistes pour carver.
-
Peut-être, et si j'y vais, ce ne sera pas toute la semaine. Ce serait probablement une ou deux journées.

I like to take some pictures sometimes and I can say you can do a lot if your P&S has some manual settings. It's how I am learning.
Here's a couple of samples:

J'ai une traduction que j'avais fait pour Dave il y a quelques années. Il faudrait que je la retrouve et que je la mette sur mon site.

scott-usa, je suis d'accord avec toi. Je sais que le snowboard alpin est un sport pratiqué par peu de gens et que par conséquent, les volumes de ventes sont plus faibles. Ce qui me dérange surtout, c'est de payer 800$ pour un snowboard que je vais utiliser 5 à 10 fois par année alors que mon dernier vélo m'a coûté 1000$ et je m'en sers beaucoup plus souvent (environ 2400 km sur une saison de 3500 km, qui est probablement au delà d'une centaine de jour). De plus, je dois payer 30 à 60$ par jour pour me servir de mon snowboard alors qu'il ne m'en coûte rien pour utiliser mon vélo.

Any front wheel drive or all wheel drive car that has normal ground clearance and good snow tires, but you also have to drive intelligently. As Bullwings said, all wheel drive is good when starting to move (or maybe when turning, I never drove one) but for braking, all cars have all wheel brakes!

No, the Wind are not the softest.
1999-2000: Fire * > Wind / Ice > Earth
1997: Furnace > Reactor > Shadow > Boiler / Freecarve
The Fire is a stiffer Wind and replaced the Furnace.
The Furnace is a stiffer Reactor.
The Ice is a women's Wind with one less clip.
The Earth is the same as the Shadow
The Boiler is the same as the Freecarve, but with better hardware (lean mechanism, clips)
You can take a look at my old catalogs page.

My favorites are flame and noise, but if I bought a Donek board, I wouldn't mind having any of these desings on it.
-
I can tell you that the Batman snowboard is symmetrical.
Here's proof (2 different models):

C'est à cause de la gang de Mont Habitant (et aussi la gang de YYZCanuck) que j'ai recommencé à avoir du plaisir à faire du snowboard. Ils sont une douzaine ou une quinzaine de réguliers là-bas toutes les fds.
-
Mes préférences personnelles:
- Le côté nord du Mont Sainte-Anne (Québec)
- Mont Habitant (Laurentides)
- Le Relais (Québec)
Ces montagnes ont un bon aménagement des pistes et les pistes ont une bonne inclinaison et une bonne largeur.
- Le côté nord du Mont Sainte-Anne (Québec)

I have maybe a 65% chance of attending. I would be interested in demoing some boards because, even if I have been snowboarding since 1993 and riding alpine since 1998, I don't know what type of board I would like for my next board. It doesn't guarantee that I will buy a board from the maker in the following year. I'm not a joyrider, I just want to know how different boards feel so I can make a good decision when getting my next board.
10 years since I snowboarded, what to do with old stuff?

Everything is sold, I'm officially out.
Thanks for being such a great community! If either of my kids wants to start snowboarding, I'll come back and get some gear.
If anyone wants to host all the catalogs, feel free to download them (or ask me to send them to you), they may disappear if I have time to overhaul my website.
