Knowfish Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Need board for ungroomed terrain -modern boards just sink with flat noses. Board should carve well on cord and have the ability to handle trees and powder. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.T. Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 This would be an option? Yes my opinion is biased, but this is a great board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahdeafcarver Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I love mine. I use it with step-ins/intec heels. Rails great on groomers. Boat hull shaped nose is awesome in the pow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donek Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Both our Hazelwood and Nomad series have the structure to support aluminum plate bindings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladia Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I have 164 Plow. You can still get them at Wave Rave store at Mammoth. They are price at $400 now. I picked up stiffest board from entire store. I had TD1 on the board no problem. You can carve on them well also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board should carve well on cord and have the ability to handle trees and powder. Any suggestions? (I usually get demoted to off-topic when talking about off-piste stuff here) I think it depends what type of terrain you're riding. I just finished a couple of weeks riding what I'm told is a *park board* with hard boots in heli/cat powder... I'd not have thought that would work, but it was actually very good. The de-cambered nose worked fine in everything from upside-down snow through blower. And that board wasn't even tapered, plus it looked narrow enough to work ok on hard pack, should you have to ride that. Modern boards (well, possibly USA aside) tend to be smaller and to ride lower, but that's no issue if you're the right weight. Well, to avoid the usual arguments: longer boards have a higher top speed and accelerate faster, but my favourite terrain is steep trees, where length tends to work against most people. I think you just have to try a few things and see what works in the terrain you're riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
