Jack M Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Not my board. Stopped in the factory today for something else and they showed me these pics of this custom going out to a guy in Utah. 166, 20, 9-11-10 VSR. Not metal , but carbon fiber weave. Looks nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Thanks for posting the pictures Jack. That is my board. Thomas Fremont-Smith and my friend Troy Lindquist got together and collaborated on making it for me. I had no idea this was going to happen. I was talking with my friend about him getting into Alpine riding and thought that he was having a board made for himself. I'm super stoked to ride it, just got it yesterday from Troy. In the box on the board it says Winterstick #19178, Mick Thueson, Utah OG Race 166, Made in Maine USA. They used some of the specs from my Coiler 165 AMXT. Riding it Sunday at PowMow.

boardguru Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thanks Buell. Definitely was not expecting this. powdahbonz I will try my best to give a decent review after this Sunday riding it at PowMow. I am super psyched to ride this carving weapon from Winterstick! I worked for the original company in SLC in the late 70's early 80's. Went to Les Arcs in '81/'82 on the Winterstick team to introduce snow surfing to Europe.

pow4ever Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Enjoy it Mick! +1 on eagerly waiting on your ride report/review. No SnowBasin test ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Very cool @boardguru!! I was hoping it was somebody here. Let us know how it rides. They also told me you were the first person to buy an original Winterstick in a store when they first started retailing them. Cool again! I bet there is a good story there... 4 hours ago, west carven said: can they put metal in it? They aren't quite there yet. They are doing titanal inlays, but not full sheets. My BX has the titanal inlay, the carbon fiber weave, and a ptex topsheet. Much better than a regular glass board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kibber Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 ..it'll be deep by Sunday; bring an original Winterstick too !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 pow4ever, no Snowbasin this year, the crowds are getting worse every year. And there is no fake snow at PowMow, plus over 8000 acres of FUN! We decided to go back to our original home mountain this season. kibber, if this storm is as big as they predict it will be Swallowtail time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it stack up against a saber or BXFR? Can ride my BXFR if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boardguru Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Got to ride the new 'stick Sunday. Love it! Still doing a bit of dial in on binding placement, but overall really stoked. This board hooks up like it's on rails, curved one though. Whether making G.S type turns or S.L. it is happy doing both. Very stable at speed and no noticeable chatter. Interesting since there is no metal for dampening. There is a layer of carbon weave on top and bottom. Maybe that is having the same effect. Super easy turn initiation just think about it and hang on. I'm impressed that for a short board that it likes to make big GS type high speed trenches. I am going to ride this board exclusively the rest of this season to learn more about it. I feel kind of bad that all my Coilers will have to collect dust, but not that bad with this new carving weapon from Winterstick. After not riding a 'stick since 1987 I'm happy to be back 'Sticking again! Thank you Rob Lu for making this 'stick for me. Specs. Length: 166 mm, Nose width: 271 mm Waist: 205 mm Tail width: 248 mm Effective edge: 155 mm Side cut: 9m - 10m - 11-m Construction: 22 oz triax glass, maple/poplar core, carbon fiber weave under top sheet and top of base,\ Ref stance: (3rd hole back) 19.5 Stance setback: 25 mm I highly recommend this company and their snowboards. Quality construction and attention to detail. Edited February 12, 2019 by boardguru 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dredman Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I got to ride some of the prototypes that Rob Lu of Winterstick brought out to MCC. They are on to something very good! The construction was beautiful! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
