This up on Granite Peak in Wausau on Monday.

I ride at Tyrol Basin; it's not a great hill, but it's convenient (only a few minutes from Madison).

Definitely give me a shout if you're in the area!

Agreed on the Andesite recommendation. More consistent pitch, plenty steep, and more than long enough for my midwest legs (Elk Run is actually really long, and I never made it down without multiple...

I used to go through a pair a season, then a couple of years ago, I ponied up for these Kevlar babies:

Hey Chad - it was good riding with ya.

We didn't get much carving in when we hooked up on Monday since there was so much powder. =) =)

Conditions kicked ass through the week (Wed/Thurs I spent...

Not sure what an Intec wedge is... but certainly I need to scrape the crap off before I can clip into my TD2s reliably...

Closed, if you want to keep your mints dry.

Works great. This is a problem with Intecs, too (this is what I have). I usually try cleaning it with my glove first, but when that doesn't work, the...

I always have a can of these in my jacket pocket:

I'm an addict anyway, and the can makes a great heel scraper. I religiously check my heel and binding...

How's the snow doing at Big Sky?

I'll be there tomorrow afternoon, and in my packing I need to take the bindings off of one of my boards (so I'll be committing to riding the other one).

My Axis...

Bump - anyone? Headed out of town for a week, so tomorrow is the last time I could ship for some time.

FYI, definitely headed to Tyrol around 6pm.

Just got my new Prior ATV and have to break 'er in. =)

Ya, we were out last night, and aside from the near-fatal temperatures, the snow was in great shape. Twister, the run under the B lift, was excellent.

The grooming this year has been somewhat...

Thanks; sent you an email.

Not a Costo member and have to take a shuttle to the hill, so no go there, but if we hook up one day, I'd be happy to use one of your coupons. =)

No one had heard of...

Aye; done; thanks.

Thanks much, Recon!

That's inches, right?

I don't have it front of me because I'm sitting by the pool at the Biltmore in Miami right now. =)

Weather kind of stinks, but apparently it's -5 in...

mopoet - I don't know anything more than waist and length, sorry! Sidecut would just be a guess based on looking at it, so your guess is as good as mine.

Will be there for 4.5 days of riding... so prolly not enough for any super deals I'm afraid...

The boots are long gone.

Flying in the morning of Feb 11th to Bozeman. Hope to get some turns in at Big Sky yet the same day.

I've heard (second hand) that some resorts in CO will give you a free afternoon lift ticket if...

I was probably just over 200lbs last time I rode this, but this was a few seasons ago and I really didn't know squat about how to carve. It does seem to be a little stiff for all mountain, yes.
...

How much do I weigh? Isn't that a bit personal? =)

No idea on shipping. I'm guessing something on the order of $30 to the continental US via USPS, but I've never actually sent a board before....

I've no idea what the sidecut is. Doesn't say on the board, and I never turned anything up online in reference. Looks pretty close to the Factory Prime I had sitting next to it.

The bindings are...

Strap bindings on it or make a coffee table out of this classic antique. Looks to me to be an actual stained wood finish.

It's labeled "alp five point seven", so I'm guessing 157cm length.

I...
