  1. I have several Palmer BX boards (Titanium and Carbon Circle) that I go back and forth between hard boot and soft boot carving.  It varies with the conditions for the day and who I'm riding with.  Using Bomber Sidewinders with soft bushings (yellow) with hard boots and Bomber Power Plates for the soft boot set-up.  I think that you'll be pleasantly surprised and feel it was worth the effort to find a hard boot set up for your F2.

  2. Bought my first snowboard at the Vail ski swap in '90 and had no idea what i was buying. It was a Kemper 170 with very little scr. It was like turning an aircraft carrier, but that didn't keep me from trying to keep up with my skier friends on black bump runs the first day out. Pounded! Hooked on it ever since.

  3. At Steamboat the previous weekend with my son for his slopestyle comp, and afterwards wanted to check out the mountain. We rode the gondola up and while looking at the runs below, he said he wanted to "bomb that run to see how fast I can go". I told him that he could download the ski tracks app, which he did. The run was completely clear from top to bottom with a long shallow run-out. I met him at the bottom and he showed me stats on his phone... 130kmh, which equals 80.78mph on a frickin DC 154 MLF park board. Clearly a mistake to have encouraged him.

  4. There is no free parking in the Village... $20-25. I will be parking in the West (Elk) Lot on Hwy 6 and Prater Road and taking the bus up to the Village.

    Just looked at the weather report and your right, looks it will be snowing all day. Hmmm... that changes things up a bit. What will you be riding?
