Riding Copper tomorrow, mainly super bee. Hoping seeing some carvers

No, they don't do mid-day grooms. Beaver has a variety of carving slopes, all depends on your abilities.

Sold, sorry.

Yeah.....been looking at Alpinegirls but it doesn't seem that SG ever did UPM!
BB that just doesn't make sense. Theres no way my K168 with plate will turn as tight a turn as a 7scr Rev 163 or K162.....or even my 8.5scr Rev!
....and a 7scr Rev 163 or K162 will make a tighter turn than my current 8.5scr Rev.
Two different boards for two different rides....my K168/plate for crap/icy conditions and when I'm tired. A 7-12 scr 162/3 when I want a turny little bandit.
All scr's are more or less advisatory information especially with more or less similar boards. You can turn tight 168 as well as 162.

Something tells me you’re just looking for an excuse to get another board! Stop questioning yourself and just throw your money into the snowboarding economy. Or just turn your rev harder.
Absolutely agree, changing boards wont help you, just start working on tech and turn harder.

Your level is growing, very nice!

What's wrong with the original strap? it works perfectly with this boot. It hold everything in right position and the springs do their job.

Out most of my visits to Aspen, this time snow was perfect. Great riding with awesome people. Glad to be back to all four mountains.

Aspen tomorrow! Only AJAX!

We ride mostly Copper on weekends. Sundays almost 100%. Out of 44 days 20 are at Copper. However we are mainly on blacks under the Super Bee lift.
Even out of my all 9 years in CO, Breck is the less favorable ski area of all. Keystone on the other hand, is one of the best carving spots in the Summit county. You have picked the wrong mountain for HB.

Did you ride your upz with gray tongues and rcr cuffs? I’m not getting them from Bola so I won’t have an easy way to try on both unfortunately. I know I weigh enough for the 120s I just hope they would fit my riding style. I feel like either one would likely do the trick. Just trying to gather data
I did man. I rode RCR UPZ before MS. I also have UPZ AT8 and they are like softies compare to MS. People say that ST(100) are exact copy of older NW .950. And if you get them, you can always change a tongue from 120 and get stiffer springs ( if you feel original too sort). However 120s are great as is.

Thanks for the tips guys. I’m going to follow suit with BWD and get the ST 100 version. I’ve never wanted anything stiffer than my rc10s so I think that will be the ticket. @b.free you think that’ll be good? Im about 30lbs lighter than you but I feel like we ride with similar intensity.
I believe you need 120. I know even lighter people who loves their 120s. Just play with the springs. I even ride them in pow and they are fine. Up to you man, best idea is to wear them all, ST and 120s, try for yourself and see what you like most.

Out of all, Copper is the best mountain for carving in the summit county. Without a doubt you can find the best carving snow best suited for your abilities. Will be there this and next Sunday.

I am one of those last 158 prototype metal Madds owners, got it here through Ebay.. It lasted 1.5 runs at Abasin before it delaminated in between bindings. Complete old garbage... Hopefully it wont happen to this one since its longer.

Update only liners for now, you are tall and heavy, try these boots as it and see if you don't like anything. Black tongues are very soft (reds are just rubber garbage) for your weight. I used to have same boots and they worked great for EC (I am 195cm/105kg)

Have not tried Le surf yet, but as far as Virus, its one of the best boards builder company in the world. Phenomenal ride and construction. Beautiful and solid! Have tried a lot of their boards, only positive feedback! Best!

PSA: Replace your F2 bails
in Carving Central
Posted · Edited by b.free
I am glad it has not broke on the hill and found it already on the parking lot. Front one doesnt often brake, usually rear bails, so my recommends to carry an least one each with you, that way if they brake you have a spare to fix it on the hill, they are pretty easy to install.
