Lars Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Complete range of boards or is something missing in your opinion? Just trying to find a good enough reason to extend the family :) Have a great season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike T Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 variable-sidecut alpine board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Fishtail powder board like a Burton Fish or Donek Nomad; they're easier to use in tight treed areas. I agree with the previous posters too -- there's plenty of excuses for more boards! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Great advices! I think that the use of a swollowtail can be a bit limited where I usually ride (Sweden). Don't know much about variable sidecut race board. I guess the Prior is such a board. More info on that could be useful. Have a good friend of mine who designs and manufactures skwals http://r-a-d.se/shop/ Have never summoned up the courage to test one! The big board on the right is also designed by a friend and fellow swede. More info here: http://www.alpinepunk.com/ Thanks for great advice and the comfort of having plenty of excuses for getting more boards :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crucible Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 When people ask me why I have a quiver of 9 snowboards, I usually answer that I choose to use the right tool for the job. I use the analogy of playing a full 18 holes of golf with just a 7 iron - you could do it, but it wouldn't be as much fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piusthedrcarve Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I use the analogy of playing a full 18 holes of golf with just a 7 iron - you could do it, but it wouldn't be as much fun... True but you learn a lot by doing that. Sometimes we tend to focus on distance rather than type of shots (shape or trajectory, or spin control). Playing 18 holes with a club is a drill to practice them. By the way, i do have more alpine snowboards than # of irons. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Ace* Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 you need a really shiny glossy skwal, most preferably made by virus. This is the correct answer. Once obtained, say goodbye to the rest of the quiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
