    Steph,

    Thanks for molding my new liners and for the tips! Cross my fingers, I didn't have any shin issues all week-end!

    Alex, Eric & Paul thanks for showing me around @ Stratton! I had a great time and hope to ride again @ Stratton sometime soon!

    what liners are you getting into what boots?

    thanks

    I am, at minimum, going to have my liners remolded into my SB323. But, seeing that my liners are the liners from about 3-4 season ago that had the neoprene in the toebox area, I've found that the neoprene does not hold it's molded shape. The toebox that I had molded into my liners a few years ago doesn't exist any more, now my toes are freezing this season! I'm done with that!

    So I am considering trying the Intuition liners, or possibly the Dalbello Gold liners. Although my gut would tell me to go with the Dalbello Silver liners. But the Starting Gate doesn't have the Silve liners on hand. I'd love to get new boots too...but that is a whole other fiasco waiting to happen!

    Babble, babble, babble!

    Hi everyone,

    I was just wondering how the crowds are at Stratton on the week-ends? I have this Friday off! I want/need to do some boot work at The Starting Gate.

    Should I do my boot work on Friday or Saturday? And does anyone know of a cheap place to stay on a Friday night?

    Thanks for any insight!

    Hey Mike,

    How's it going? I have a few questions for you. For the out-of-towners/east coast travelers, do you have any ideas on some cost effective lodging and is it neccessary to have a rental car? Is there any type of transportation/bus lines from the mountain to Bend and vise versa?

    Thanks!

    Those new Donek Metal graphics are SWEET!

    *Ace*, I probably should thank you for the idea for my top-sheet graphic as it is not one of the stock Donek Metal top-sheet options! I believe you were the one who posted a picture of diamond plate on a previous thread that gave me the idea for my top-sheet!

    Thanks Man!

  19. Just a few turns from last season...

    First off, great selection of tunes man!

    These are tips that some of my friends have told me to try over the years. It appears you are carving regular, so on a heelside turn, look uphill and try to keep both of your hands in front of you so that you can see your right hand in your paripheral vision.

    Next, in a heelside turn, with your right hand, start out by trying to touch your lead/left knee. And as each heelside turn comes and goes, try reaching lower. Next turn, try reaching for the upper part of the lead/front/left boot cuff, and so on and so forth. What this will hopefully do is to get you to feel the pinch in the waist and more importantly lowering you center of gravity which will increase edge hold.

    Hopefully, I am correct in my explanation and this will help out! And if I am not correct there wil be no shortage of people correcting me! :)

  20. Boot Size?

    covers up the bolts durn it!

    Welcome to my world! Bob Jenney calls my boots "key fobs"! Size 24mp on TD2 are a bit of a pain, if you tinker or move you bindings from board to board.

    Looks like the cool thing about the TD3 is if you do not tinker with your cant/lift, you can easily move your whole bindings from board to board without moving your toe/heel blocks. Right?

  21. What's most important?

    I voted stiffness.

    I agree with philfell. I'm not light for my size, but I'm not heavy either. I'm 5'4' tall and 150 pounds without my gear on, so I'm always keeping the boards stiffness as one of my main concerns. Granted at my ability level, I probably could ride almost any board out there. (Now, don't take that last statement out of context! I'm not saying that I'm an awesome carver, which I don't think I am. I'm just saying that I hold my own, at times!) But that doesn't mean that I want to be fighting the board either.

    Just my two pesos!

  23. Colorado Spring Question

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Stupid question: Spring break falls in the month of March, right? Towards the end of the month, right? Summit County is a great place to be!!! Beaver Creek is a great mountain! Copper Mountain, another great option! Oh, can't forget about Keystone at night, if still operating their night program that time of year! I've never been to Loveland, but hopefully one of these years! And last but not least : A-Basin!! Choices, choices, choices!! You'll have a blast!
