AcousticBoarder Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hi all, I have a trip planned for about a month and a half from now, wondering if there is any place around that might have gear to try or buy. I am specifically looking at boots, UPZ and Deeluxe, even if just to put on and walk around. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelsiorTheFathead Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Unfortunately, I don't think there is any such place in Utah. The only place i've seen that has any alpine stuff at all is Salty Peaks, and they only have way old Burton boards at way high prices.

utahcarver Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hey AB, There is a carving contingent in the SLC area. However, nothing in the way of rental equipment. If it were me, I'd find someone on the forum who lives in SLC, Park City, or accesses Little Cottonwood Canyon and is a hardbooter on this forum. Otherwise, try to find someone in your area of California who might have some hard booting equipment they could lend you. You might try Fin here at BOL and he may have some rental equipment that he could ship to you. Donek might rent/demo boards. You can do this. Just find a way to make it happen. We are a small community who likes to help the one guy or girl who wants to carve. We all have started at a similar place. Good luck and happy carving. FWIW, put some plates on any snowboard, add hard boots and see what you can do. Remember, read the tech articles here, too. They are most informative. Especially Jack MIchaud's. Learn 'The Norm'. It has served me well. Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy... Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 If you're not new to hard booting and you'll be at Powder Mountain, I've got a Kessler 168 or 185 with F2's that you can spend some time on. I also have a spare pair of boots, but they're size 24, so they probably won't fit. If you make it to Powder, let me know and I'll take you around to the secret groomer stashes.
