LeeW Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Since I'm trying to catch up with the "juice," I'd like to know who are -still- into alpine snowboard niche? Boots: UPZ, Raichle (?) Snowboards: Donek, Coiler, F2 (?) Bindings: F2, Bomber (pending?) That's all I could think of at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredman Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Boots: both brands very good, usually comes down to what brand fits your feet best Boards: They usual suspects are as excellent as always, Thirst Snowboards are AMAZING. Next Generation boards. Bindings: Same choices as ever. Plates: not for me and free riding / carving. Not worth the weight and slow speed performance when resort riding. Event: Montucky Clear CUT February 11-14, see Events Thread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburk Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Raichle boots morphed into Deeluxe, Donek carries them. UPZ distributor is based in Canada, but I believe he maintains stock in a warehouse in the US as well, so no cross-border shipping hassles. Very good customer service. If you’re nostalgic, rich, or looking for a even higher-performance alternative to the other two boot options, mountainslope has resurrected the .950 as the .951. Haven’t tried them, all reviews are overwhelmingly positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapos Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 On boots don't forget Mountain Slope, who resurrected northwave boots. 951 are best boots I have ridden. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because I'm already spoiled with my Madd 158's carbon fly-like "plate." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
