Az Snowboarder's..

I've never snowboarded in my life

 

I got a new Capita Scotts Stevens pro with Burton Malavitas for this season. It is basically an Ultrafear. The best part about the board is I got is for a birthday present! Also I got those $260 bindings for like $140.

Last year I had a Burton custom flying v but broke the tail on a hard (crash) landing. It only lasted me 2 seasons and broke a month after the warranty expired.

 

My van boots are too small for my right foot, end up losing feeling. Think they are size 10 or 10.5. Have 2 seasons on them last season consisted of one day of riding . Which sucks cuz they are syck boots and are super comfy on my left foot. Anyone looking to buy, they were 400.00 new? I will post pics later tonight.

 

MAYBE interested. I need new boots. But money is tight. :/

 

Same here My buddy has a boot stretcher for hockey skates. I might try and throw mine on that for a couple days.

 

I just did the same thing with a pair of shoes from them. They are a syck pair, only tried on the left. Snug as a bug in the rug. Actually wore them yesterday
and the right foot is too snug. Gonna try and return for a larger size this weekend.
Wkeep me posted on the stretcher, don't think that will help as when I snug up the boa to my calves it crushes my pinky toe and the top of my foot.

Keep me posted

 

He said it might just completely ruin the boots since they are so different from skates. But then again it doesn't sound like it will help much where you need it anyway.

 

Just picked these up yesterday. Didnt need them but just wanted them.

 

It's not about needs...it's all about wants!!!!

 

Couldn't agree more. And my buddy just got a all new set up so he is returning all my stuff I loaned him. So if anyone needs some stuff I have lots of extras. Either just borrow for the day or for sale .

 

Having bindings?

 

56 days till Wolf Creek sexy pants

 

Yes sir. A pair of burton customs. And another pair of ride ex series.

I know! All I have to do is get thru this holiday season.

 

I don't have the ecs. And not a fan when companies do that so you are forced to ride a specific board. So can't switch out boards depending on snow situations or mountain

 

That is true. It does become allot easier if both boards are that system. I'm just saying I'm not a fan. I believe they do make an adapter but it also acts like a riser and lifts you off th board to. Once again not a big deal just more stuff one company is forcing you to buy if you want there product.

 

Did anyone hit up Snowbowl for opening weekend? How were the conditions/lines?

 

EST?

 

I went up for the day - eh. Still had a good time.

Only two lifts were open, hart prairie and sunset chair lift - you could only go down southern belle - where the park area is usually set up in the middle wasn't open, they split the southern belle run into a blue run and a couple jumps/boxes which was kind of cool.

It worked for me because I was really just there to take my wife for the first time and got her a lesson.

The lines were very short / quick. I've never seen it so empty considering the limited amount of mountain open. The snow was just packed down pretty hard, some icy spots etc. Just needs another snowfall I saw people checking out the runs up on Aggasiz, almost there. Weather was awesome, I'm guessing maybe like 40 with blue / cloudy skies.

I was talking to one of the guys for a bit apparently they are working on getting the artificial snow all the way up it just takes time to build the infrastructure. Was nice to ease into boarding because it's been so long but I would definitely wait to go up again.

 

Haha I had a burton custom with mission est bindings. I broke the tail last season though. Luckily on my last day.
