I am headed to Vail in early Feb and want to get my board tuned up. I don't have any tools and want it done correctly. I just need the edges sharpened and base waxed. I have a 4 yr old Axis 177. Looking for suggestions on where i can get this done.Thanks.

thanks for all the replies, can't wait to board the 6am flight tomorrow morning and head out of Florida !

I am going to be in Vail/BC area week of Feb 23 and my board has not seen wax or a file since last year. I don't have any tools at all so am looking for a shop that can do a wax job and edge refresh while I am in the area.
Thanks,
Eric

I'll take them. email sent.

Anyone want to split the cost of 2 new FinTec heels ? Bomber sells the binding parts in singles but the heels in pairs, so i want to split a pair of heels....
-
thanks for the input. I guess it would make sense to just buy 1 new setup for the rear! Anyone have any negative opinions about doing it that way ?
Thanks.

serious about what?

I have td2 with bails and Deeluxe boots and I want to switch over to intec. I need front bails, heel receivers (steel or al) and intec heels (fintec or older intecs). Thanks !
If I can't find someone to sell me the parts or trade, then I'll "rent" the conversion gear from you as i only need it 1 week in late Feb...

Hi, i will be in Vail Feb 24-Mar 2 with my family (wife and kids). I have been carving for a week or two and need someone to ride with so I can learn how to do real carves ! Anybody going to be in the area ? Thanks, Eric.

Havig only ridden the f2, I have little experience to base my buying decision on. I appreciated everybody's input. Sounds like the Axis 172 or 177 may meet my needs a little better than the F2. As long as I can make moderate speed, laid down carving turns on the Axis and then punch through some chewed up powder with ease, then I would be happy. Now, where can I find a nice used Axis ??
Any thoughts on Big Sky vs. PC ? My only opportunity to go is Christmas week as my kids' spring break isn't until 3/24 and that may be too late (if not, I'll go then too !). I dont want the PC crowds, but don't know anything about Big Sky

Thanks to a forum member, I now have a pair of Deeluxe Suzuka boots...now I need a board/bindings setup. My only real carving experience was thanks to Bordy in PC who loaned me a F2 Silberfiel (172 I think). i loved the board until it snowed and then my riding fell apart. I am going to buy 1 board this season and a couple of people have suggested a Donek Axis 177. I want the same carving ability as the F2, although I know I barely tapped into it's true potential during my limited time in PC, but want something that will be more forgiving in the crud and powder so I can keep up with my kids on skis. I need help with board selection and bindings, although I am thinking TD2s would be fine for me. I am 6.1 and 190.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
Also, how is Big Sky compared to PC ?

Sorry for being OT, but wanted to know if you can tell me anything about BigSky - I am planning a trip there this Christmas....
Thanks, Eric

Thermoflex liners has been heated once, but boots have never been ridden. They are 1 size too small for me. Trade for a pair of 28s or sell for $260 including shipping in US.

I'd like to email you some questions, pls give me your email address. Thanks.

thanks for the replies. How bad would my ski boots be ? Would they even fit the board/bindings ?

I have a pair of Salomon Performa 7.0 size 30.0 which I use for skiing. Is it realistic for me to use these boots on an all mountain board ? If that's the case, what bindings and board would you recommend ? I've boarded on and off since '87 but gave it up for 7 years or so until I tried a carving board. I plan to ski/ride about 50:50. I'm 6-1 and 195lbs.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'll be in PC mar 19-23.

any idea where I can rent some carving gear in Park City or SLC ? I tried carving 5 yrs ago and want to give it another shot, but don't want to spend $1000 "trying" it. I was in Keystone, CO last year and called every store in Co with no success...
Thanks.

thanks for the replies. I will give Venture a shot. Now that you dug up my old thread, you'll see how i use the board 1 week per year - maybe that's why I am not improving much !!
