  1. I ride hard boot 100% of the time at higher angles, have a Ross 185 undertaker for 2' or deeper. I still use the Raichle 125 & 225  80% of the time, for  powder/crud and most of my carving. I'd look back into the Raichles 124-125-224-225 if you can find them. then add some BTS (Bomber Tuning System) springs maybe blue for your weight or yellow if you find 325's. you will have to learn not to put as much input into the board as the boots are more responsive.

  2. Last year I had an intermediate boarder want to try carving. I got him set up with boots 2018 174 Coiler NFCE TD3 bindings that was right for his weight and went out on a hard green/easy blue run with hero snow.  He would start his turn lock the edge and take off downhill. First four runs almost hit three people and almost two trees.  When in switched to a 2002 Burton 173 FP Burton race bindings  in two runs he was making C and J turns. After another two half days on the Burton got him back on the Coiler and he could make some C/J turns.  You don't put everyone in a formula one car to start learning to drive.

  3. When I get a new board I start bindings centered, take 3-4 runs then move move front binding forward one hole 1/8" on center disk then 3 more runs then move forward again, then next set of forward holes until board starts hooking then back off two holes and then set rear binding to stance. If board starts off turning too easy I'll move back until I can't finish c turns without lots of pressure

  4. Kessler 180  $400 plus shipping    ump and 4 x 2  mounting   46.5-50 mm stance

    16-17 season was used by the Canadian team to test plates.  Used about two months never raced.

    Has some nicks on top base is good. Has some extra holes drilled and filled where they were trying different plates

    I got it in March 17 use it once, 5 times '18-19     I was 190# and had to be 95-100% to make it work right.

    Now I've lost 20# and need to get different board.  Would work  well for 180-230#
