powdahbonz Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I may be a minority voice but started skiing at 4, snowboarding at 15 and haven't given either up and won't. I'm glad that I got back on softies this year since that's where it started b/c there's a time and a place for everything. It's invaluable to be out on the mountain and realize that there is terrain that is simply more enjoyable on a different tool. Not to mention, the benefit to muscle by skiing and riding in the same day. I feel better when I split my time. Best day this year was doing all 3 in the same day(If only I were younger and had the time to tele and develop there)I could go for the four fecta. Ummmm....the "darkside" is on skis, nowBut, as a former duck stance afficionado, I can tell you it was much easier on my bum right knee to ride that way! I agree on the board width, you'll need a wider board to ride the shallower angles of softies. You'll quickly remember the pain of riding in softboots, tho...although spring crud is ideal for softbooting. Like the board torquing on your lead foot up the lift, or heel lift, or how your toes go numb when you crank your toe straps down.... Good luck with the Flows! I haven't seen them much recently.....
