Hey this is my first post. This is my first season on a carve board and I'm really pumped about it. I have a whole new set up this year Prior ATV board Bomber TD3 bindings and Deelux track 325 boots. What do you guys think of my setup for a first time hardbooter long time softbooter?

Hey Scoob it's been too freaking cold lately so I haven't been to the mountain yet plus I've been working too much. I know sunshine and lake louise are off to a good start this season, lots of snow so far.

Welcome Moosehead!
You hit the jackpot finding BOL. Tons of helpful people here. Check out the carvers almanac. Lots of good stuff there as well.

Where in Alberta do you live? There's quite a few HB'ers in Calgary. "Riceball" is having a gathering at Nakiska and Sunshine on Jan 15th and 16th.

Your setup up sounds pretty solid.

And if you're further north, I tend to hit the local lump "not really a mountain, but enough to get your fix" here in Fort McMurray. Always interested in riding with other hardbooters.Otherwise we make trips to Sunshine / Lake Louise every month or so.

There are a few folks around Edmonton aswell.

That sounds like a good time in Nakiska Big Canuck I should be able to make it to that meet up let me know the details. Gtanner we should meet at Vista ridge for couple runs maybe you can give me a few pointers.

Prior ATV board Bomber TD3 bindings and Deelux track 325 boots.

almost sounds like money's no object for your entrance into the sport. might want to think about custom footbeds if you haven't got 'em. i'm hoping to get some if i can scrounge up any cash this year; some days i just can't go twenty seconds on the hill without my arches aching

I think most of us on the forum are jealous you got to start out with such nice new gear ! :AR15firin

Welcome to the dark side. My Prior ATV 171 is my first alpine board and still my most used. I just surfed 3ft of freshies this weekend at Mammoth in CA and it floated quite well with my 155lbs frame :1luvu: You picked a great board to start with!

same as Dave ESPI, I did not start on a setup as nice as yours.
Once you can link some turns you become an addict of the sport :biggthump

My first season also and I am learning on a Prior 174 4WD and having a gas. Sounds like you have a great setup. Should shorten the learning curve. :)
