KIDQWIK Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'd purchased an OES a few months ago, finally got to ride it today. Communication with the company was great and I ordered the board they recommended based on my riding style that I described to them. When I unpacked the box I was a little frightened when I saw the camber, I can slide my foot under the board. The board holds an incredible edge, forearm grazing the snow with each turn and an incredible pop out of the turn. It was hero snow this morning so I can't wait to see how it handles the "east coast hardpack", judging from how the board rode, I think it will do well in all conditions. If anyone is thinking new board, definitely give OES a try, I'm at Liberty Mtn. every weekend if anyone in the mid-atlantic would like see one in person.

piusthedrcarve Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Awesome. Love to try OES. Only weekends? Any chance to come Whitetail? We have this thread, Whitetail-Liberty 2016-2017. When you go up, please let us know. I have few 170 range carving boards to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIDQWIK Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hardly get to Whitetail, our Son is a junior at Liberty. I have some friends that ride hardboots at Whitetail, I'm sure you know/see them, probably not too many out there. I'll check out that link when I get a chance. Here's a shot, if you ever see me out there, usually blue coat, orange helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piusthedrcarve Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Looking good. Looking forward to ride with you. What Jr. program your son is in? I usually enroll my son (skier) to WT's NightTrail program on Thursday night. I will also watch your posting on the tread to ride with you.

KIDQWIK Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Our son is a junior snowboard instructor, I was the snowboard supervisor there for many years. The guys that carve at WT that I know also worked at Liberty, one was the supv. before me and the other taught for a number of years. Hope to meet up with you this season. We're at first tracks every weekend usually a group of 5 hardbooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piusthedrcarve Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Cool. 5 hardbooters? That's more than WT crews at best (several years ago)! I may not be able to join on weekend but if I do, I will post up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
