Myself and a buddy decided to rock alpine boards in Blue Mountain's annual pond skimming event, we turned plenty of heads and answered tons of questions...then I pretty much failed at the pond skimming but you can't see it in the picture. :D

FYI It's a 168 SIMS Burner, and no the split tail did not break!

If you are ever at Blue again, I would be interested in tryng out that burner for a few runs.

JBS and I are at Blue regularly, turning heads with turns, but the pond skim is something I wouldnt do on hard boots, seems a higher level of succeptibility to something snapping.

Plus thats a better time to be carving at Blue, when everyone is gathered around the skim pond.
