Heenalu Kahiko Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Lightly used 2020 Kessler Alpine 185 Black in near perfect condition for sale. Available with Iron Rock “Stiff” plate. Board has been professionally maintained by alpine ski race techs. It has been waxed using an infrared system following every use. I ride in pretty crowded Vermont areas and find this board needs more space. The hard plate was used once. I make no bones about saying that it was way to much for my riding ability. I’m just an “old surfer” looking for a sweet bottom turn. This board didn’t disappoint though this is a world class racing set up that would be best served by a rider that can take full advantage of her potential. Board and plate $1600 including shipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heenalu Kahiko Posted January 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 I strongly prefer selling the two together. If you would like to make an offer for the board I’m all ears. We’re close, so we can save on shipping. Feel free to call me at (203)249-2215. I’ll be home tonight and in the car a lot tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workshop7 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Thanks for getting back in touch and answering my question. I think I’m out on this one. I looked at the 12-21 side cut radius and decided against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heenalu Kahiko Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 No worries, I’ll probably wind up keeping the board and selling the plate separately. Though the Kessler 185, as agreed in reviews, is a world class GS race board, it is also surprisingly forgiving. (Without the plate) I accidentally got on some un-groomed stuff, bumps with 6” of powder on top, at Middlebury Snow Bowl last year, something i would never have chosen to do but, nowhere else to go...that board was all there for me. I’m a big guy, 6’1” and 240 so i can flex into tighter turns. I would recommend talking with Mark Miller at Thirst. His boards are hand made to meet your riding style and personal characteristics. He is very dialed in. I have a Prior FLC 173 that you might be interested in. I bought it and found out that it’s weight rating is for a rider 50+# lighter then me. It’s also in great shape.
