Help -
after spending about 20 VERY frustrating days trying to get my Alp to carve, experimenting with angles, cant, even buying new boots, I came across a dirt cheap Factory Prime, thought I'd try that and - surprise! - as of today I can carve!!! Upon inspection tonight it turned out that the Alp is edge-high. Barely, that's why I didn't notice it before, but anyway. Now I have two questions:
1. Can the fact that I can push the corner of a piece of paper about 3/4" under the middle of a truebar placed across the board really make such a difference? Or is it just the fact that the Factory Prime is much softer and has a smaller SCR (>8m) and therefore is simply much easier to maneuver for my 125lbs?
2. What do I do about the Alp? My husband bought it for me a few years back as a hardly-ever-used-bargain: it's the 99/00 model, light blue, with the wolf'd head and was collecting dust at a rental shop. Is it worth spending the money to get it level? Or do I just write it off?
Thanks,
Jutta
