I was riding today, and standing in the lift line, I saw this guy riding an old 80's checkered pig alpine board with plates and ski boots at 0 degrees. I talked to him and he loves the thing. He wants to buy new equipment but cant find any, so I steered him here, I hope he continues plate riding, but what blew me away was how much fun he said he was having and how his straight board rides in the moguls better than the new boards. Well each to their own, I agreed with him and smiled and carried on to eat up all the rest of the powder on my rossi alpine deck. It wasnt a carving day, the snow was too soft and I dug in too much and scrubbed to much speed, so I just did quick fall line turns or rode in the trees.
