  1. Let us know when you are heading to Copper. Some of us mostly ride Copper.
  2. Man, if .951 was B shell, I would have bought it. I like the 1st gen logo better. This is a killer price!!!
  3. There is no bar there as it is just zip ties …
  4. Woot woot. We are here at snowmass!!
  5. Oxess can have board with multiple inserts. You just have to tell Marcel that you want multiple inserts. He can place it however you want stance to be. standard is 50cm but I have all of my board at 47cm for center ones. Exactly!
  6. Thanks for all the info. I haven't decided where to live exactly but more than likely around Minneapolis downtown as I need to be within 20-30min driving from my work. Sounds like there are better carving near Duluth. I don't think I can go to week days unless at night. Maybe buckhill may be a good options for that for a quick dose of riding. Has anyone tried "Indy Pass"? it seems to be great options to try different areas around MN (2 days free for each partner resort + 50% discount for rest?)
  7. Hello, I am moving to Minneapolis from Colorado in summer 2024 for 2 years and wondering where is the best carving mountain within 2 to 2.5 hours from Minneapolis. I am keeping my IKON pass for annual Aspen trip but was wondering if it was worth it to look into any season passes for surrounding local hills. I noticed that some mountain (maybe only Welch?) do 3-day-use-it-any-day pass for good price. Thank for the info!
  8. I think my inbox is full, let me delete and please try again. Thank you
  9. It was nice to see you, @Lil Cybe! You are really getting the hang of Skwal. Usual Sunday copper crew went to Steamboat for 10-13” of powder and it didn’t disappoint! It was endless powder anywhere you went in the trees. We all got stuck along the day and I was in waist high snow at one point. I had to climb out of it…… oh and there was endless traffic on the way back too as all the pass closed. I had enough powder for the season… Many of us are at Copper on Sunday so come by and say hello!!! (We tend to stick to just super bee and/or main vein)
  10. I am regular. I have stiffest spring on the rear boot. i prefer the softer spring on rearward flex. It is not much of difference but my caf feels more comfy. It is nice when I use it for powder set up. It is more hassle to change those than forward flex so I just kept it as softer set up. I am not sure which MS boots you have but I have 100 with World Cup tongue and the tongue makes a big difference. I love the lateral flex on 100. I also relocated the top buckle as I ride narrower birds (15.5cm and 16.5cm)
  11. UPDATE: 23-24’ season will be my 7th season riding this boot (I preordered it before it was even out in 2017) and there is no other boot that I like to ride/carve than MS .951 - Flex is as consistent as the boots gonna get in different temperature - very easy to change the flex of tongue, springs - maintenance and fix is easy with parts which are available. It can also be swapped with some ski boots buckles with light modification - I just love it! Worth every penny
  12. I am glad both @slapos and @Chris C were relatively ok!! That video is a classic example of stupid people doing, stupid things. @Chris C, When you get better and ready, please let me know! In recent years, I came to realization that no matter the rule or enforcement, I cannot fix stupid and all I can do is change my ride and look the rear every 2 turns. It helped me to see the straight liner wearing football jersey on Rosi's Run at Copper Mtn .......... I tends to stay away from people who has sports jersey...... I still don't see how this is "cool" Maybe I need small camera facing rearwards .. "Ski Dash Cam"
  13. It seems that some people couldn't find the Whatsapp group that I have created. Therefore, please DM me on this forum so that I can add you on the group
  14. Copper Mountain: 178 Oxess RG with Virus Plate
  15. This is gonna be a hoot at Aspen this year! Lots of hardbooters!
  16. I have created WhatsApp group called: AFC 2024 Aspen if you are going to be around Aspen between 2/7-2/16, you are more than welcome to join so that we can see where everyone is.
  17. I use SG binding and uses the following: narrow board (<18.5cm width): Front = toe lift block with inward cant Rear = heel lift block only board >19cm width: Front = toe lift block with inward cant Rear = heel lift block with inward cant Pow board (26.5cm): the angles of bindings are a lot lower than alpine boards** Front = toe lift block with inward cant rear = only inward cant (no heel lift) it also depends on the stance and I prefer narrow stance at 47cm on Alpine boards and 46cm on powder bord. It all depends on what you like. Everyone is different and the one works for me probably won’t work for you.
  18. I believe Vist does…. I remember seeing older video that explains where to bolt on and included the center hole….
  19. You shouldn’t be as long as you use proper sizing liner. For example, I am 25.5 mondo size and I use B shell. It is a perfect fit for me and not swimming at all. I hope this helps!

    Yo Lci!!

    It seems our friends @Odd Job (orange jacket), @svr2 (neon green jacket) and @ice (blue jacket) are getting it on and enjoying the first day! You guys are famous for getting on the local news! @ice was in the frame for a while! But the line looks gnarly!!!
  21. I am already looking forward to Feb!! Took days off Reservation
  22. I don’t know the exact angle bc I am passed the max number but I am guesstimating at 75 front/75 rear. I relocated my front foot’s MS boots buckles to accommodate the narrow board and it has worked out quite well. My other board is 155mm width so this is wider I really like this riding position.
  23. @Corey, it is much easier than Shoe-Goo that I used to use and you will get used to after 1 try but I did mess up the first try a bit. It does self level as long as it is not too hard nor too runny. Here is what I do: - I partition the area with masking tape and I use wider masking tape so that if it flows over it, I have some margin fo error - it is 2 part mix and mix it according to the instruction. - For color, you dont even need a drop of it and I dipped popsicle stick I to that color and mix it into the - then I wait about 25-30min to harden a bit but it is important that it doesn’t become too hard. But if you don’t wait long enough, it will be too runny. - I apply with rubber gloves and don’t use any spatula. I first used spatula but @b.freerecommended to use rubber glove and it was a lot easier. - it will settle and become smooth so I try to do it on level surface and don’t mess with it too much once I apply it unless more material needs to be applied or removed - I wait about 10-15min before removing the masking tape. But do not leave it until it cures. As some material will lift at the edge and cause it to come off when you are riding. But you don’t want to remove it too soon and the material flows over. this method helped me a lot to keep my jacket looking ok, thanks to @b.free @Corey, if you want to know how much I used for each parts and how big of surface I used, you can DM me your email address and send you the amount in grams and picture of the surface I applied to. The website won’t let me upload more than 2.94MB size picture.
  24. @Corey, I use this stuff that I learned from @b.free and mix it with color additive to make it into any color. It has worked out well for both of us.
