  1. Use Catek Freeride bindings at 45 degrees front and 25 back. I use cant and heel lift on the back foot.    The cant and heel lift is infinitely adjustable with jack screws, so I'm not quite sure how much there is of each.   It was adjusted until my back knee was comfortable.  

     

  2. I hate to create more work, but is there a way to pay for a subscription without using PayPal?  PayPal and I have had some bad experiences in the past.  I think my account is valid again, but I'm reluctant to use it again.

  3. The carving community is small and this forum is a good way to connect.  But, a mentor and good informal instructor on the the mountain is a tremendous boost to carving skills.  I was lucky to have more than a couple at my small hill.  Just having someone to follow and analyze is a big help. 

    Crystal mountain is a great place, but I haven't been there in 15 years.

  4. At the small local hills I take a Prior WCR, a Prior FLC and a custom flex Prior 4WD with soft boot setup.   The WCR is a blast, but when the conditions get choppy the FLC (metal) comes out and allows me to keep the speed and cut through it all.  On cold days with ball bearings, the FLC provides full speed commitment to edging through them.  At larger hills, on wide open slopes, getting the FLC to high edge angles is an adrenaline rush, rocketing across the slope.   The WCR comes out again to work technique.  If the snow and my quads get soft the 4WD and soft boots keep things going. 

    At destination resorts the 4WD makes for a good all mountain board and I rarely switch.
