barryj Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 My Moss Performance Quad 160 REALLY likes to carve the groomers as much as crush the pow....even on the same run alot of times! Wondering what the sages say as to edge tuning a pow board with an alter ego? I understand it came as 0 base and 90 edge and I'm running TD3 SW SI's at 55/50 Here are the stats on the board as a refresher - LENGTH: 1600 R.LENGTH: 791 EF.EDGE: 1210 SIDECUT: 10000/9000 NOSE/TAIL: 302/289 WAIST: 258 STANCE WIDTH: 520 (480-600) SET BACK: -5.5 Would you guys suggest a 0 base and 1 edge bevel as good idea? It surely wouldn't have any negative effect on a pow day, but could certainly increase the Wow factor even more on groomers - Right? Also - anybody trusted their board to a Winterstager machine for edge tuning? The local shop http://www.tahoesportshub.com/ski-repair has a new Winterstager machine and they seem confident they can lay edges with it....after you remove your binders, which makes me even more reluctant...

Ladia Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Barry, stop at Soren's place. He is closing on Sunday for summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Brammer aka PSR Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 My O-Sin 4807 runs this; I bevel the edge -1 degree from base-flat, to let it 'flow' edge-to-edge effortlessly on groomers. But, see, edge- angle has No Bearing in Pow.. So, I then make the actual Edge Angle 3 degrees Acute from Base-Level (or, an 88* edge; do the math), which gives me an edge to use once out of the Fluffy Woods and back onto Nor-East Hardpacked Groomers. This Board has ROMPED in places like Idaho, Colorado, CaliPornia, Oregon,Italy, Germany, Switzerland,Argentina, Peru,and all of New England, Upstate New-York, and a fluffy spot in Pennsylvania, too. But, hey, like with your binding angles, just Ignore this post, and do whatever comes to mind, as I know nothing after 4 decades of riding...

Ladia, When Soren opened his own place I heard he wasn't able to do boards. Has that changed and what is his place called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hey Randy, I'm sure Ladia will add the specifics your looking for but do I know Ladia has been taking his boards there for awhile. It used to be called Cosmos Footwerks?? and it's in between the 7Eleven and Coyote bar and grill on Palisades Dr. Truckee......across from the town ice rink and skate park. His hours were very random from my recollection. Ladia - did I hear he was not only closing this coming weekend, but also retiring?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, four decades of experience in anything doesn't always equate to knowledge. My folks have been in the parenting game for over four decades and I'm still all f****d up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hey Jim, Thanks for that Reno connection. A little far to drive but good to know. Shane at the Arbor House in Truckee knows a thing or two about board tuning and has done a great job on my boards So Jim, "Always remove your bindings when getting it ground"...... your not saying I need a Grind on a new board??

barryj Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Thanks for that clarity Jim Yean, I'm not sure what the Winterstager can do or if I should avoid them......... What base and edge angles are you and Angie running on your pow boards?? 0-1, 1-1, 1-2?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryj Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Jim 2/1......as in 2 edge and 1 base?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladia Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Soren did not have wide machine to do base first year when he opened his shop, now he has everything for several years. For Jim, he his also hardbooter in his younger days and he is taking care about ski for many racers around Tahoe. Like I mentioned earlier, he is closing this Sunday for season and going back to Europe to wind surfing at Mediterranean sea. He has been taking care about my boards for years. He will be back next winter maybe for two more years before he will go to retirement . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Brammer aka PSR Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Barry, assume that Jim means 2* Acute at the edge, and 1* of bevel from the base. Otherwise, it would be a very DULL 89* of edge over the entire length. You and numbers... Whew... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
