    My first board was a Proton, and I found that it did not like tracking across the fall line as much as down it. I'm sure most of that was technique, but after hopping on other boards that's what I...

    Same here, can't remember when I last wore a leash. I don't think they are all that necessary, imo. Just make sure your gear is set up properly and you're all good.

    Groomer-wise, there are maybe a couple small spots I know of on all the mountains where you might see a couple pebbles. Otherwise I think you're in good shape. Now as for the steeps and bumps and...

    Nice, Mark is a great guy. Snowmass is better by far than Highlands for their nastar course. Aspen has a good course as well, albeit closed mon-wed. Maybe Thursday?

    I should also add that Harry and PJ at Gene Taylors are two of the best bootfitters around. If you want to get work done, they take a very minimalist approach that can work wonders.

    The highlands nastar course is also pretty terrible. Very flat, not much in the way of offset for the gates.

    Unless you are knock kneed, double inwards just seems weird. That said, it's all personal preference. Whatever feels good for you is what is best for you.
