AgassizSkidder Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Does anyone know anything about the Mistral R61? Is this a good board to learn on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I don't think Mistral has made a snowboard since the mid-90's. Ok to learn on I guess, but you'll be wanting something different in 10-15 days of riding. If it's dirt cheap, buy it. If not, look in the classifieds here and you'll find something reasonable.

bobdea Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Does anyone know anything about the Mistral R61? Is this a good board to learn on? they became f2 or were bought in the mid 90s, the sonic is the only board by them I'd tell anyone to buy and even that would be if it's the only thing you could afford.

BlueB Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Welcome on Bomber, first! This thing? It was probably not even considered as alpine, back then. It is super cheap, but you can find a better board for just a bit more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Btw, where do you ride? Hemlock? I was there few times this year, during Olympic blackout of Cypress. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgassizSkidder Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yes that's the one. I love Hemlock, it's quiet and only 30 minutes from home. Unfortunately I did not get to ride very much this season due to a broken leg, but I did get a couple days in near the end of the season. I have been looking for that elusive board that is affordable enough to get past the wife but not complete crap, and oh yes, can it do everything? Ha ha Thanks for the answers and welcome guys.
