That's funny! I've often felt the same. It's amazing the amount of contradictory information I've read on this forum. That's not to say the info is incorrect but it sure can be confusing at times....

For the snow try a Dakine "Spike" stomp pad. It has huge nubs and works great at removing snow from boots.
I ride a Prior Khyber with hardboots in the walk mode for for powder and other "soft...
Prior Khyber! I love riding it with hard boots......tried softies but couldn't get into it. It's also great in the trees and bumps. The tapered tail makes it so easy to hoss around fast.

I'm trying to decide between a Magnum and a Subaru Outback. I fell in love with the chopped look, ride and feel of the Magnum. I don't feel all that comfortable in the Subie and the Magnum feels like...
I thought about buying those last year. Have you ever used them? Are they good quality...reliable etc. ?

Don't everyone line up at once.

I was told at the end of last season by a Killington shop employee, that Flow was coming out with a major improvement to their system for the upcoming season. It might be worth looking into before...
So....somehow I missed this post. Is it too late to get a hat? I need something sporty looking to wear in Viet Nam this summer. Prolly be the only darned snowboarder in the whole country!

Couldn't agree more! I had my Prior Khyber at Killington last weekend...it was a full on slushfest with the whole mountain bumped up. I had a ball! I should add that I also bought a soft boot setup...
I made it crystal clear to my lovely bride BEFORE we were betrothed that this is what I do. After ten years of marital hiss....err...I mean bliss she has not once asked me to forego snowboarding in...
I came out of one of mine last week. The adjustment thingy on the front bail worked it's way through the threads to the point that it was not locked down properly and consequently allowing it to...
Powder....what's that?
Hailing from the Great State of New Yawk we don't see much of that stuff but on the off chance that we do, I would be breaking out my trusty lil' Prior Khyber....ridden with...
Just think about when you're trying to get somewhere on the flats. You'll go a lot farther if you run your board as flat as possible. If your edge digs in at all you'll noticably slow down.
I'm a teacher, so even though we get plenty vacation time, we can only take it during certain times. Unfortunately it never coincides with the SES. I have been able to attend a couple ECESs during...
He used to post here quite often. His posts were too unique to have just had a name change. I kind of miss his posts.
Been there...done that....same conclusion. I bought a Prior Khyber for pow, bumps and trees last year along with some nice soft Salomon boots and bindings. After one day on the setup the boots and...
Having started on an Alp I would suggest staying away from it mainly because you'll soon outgrow it I would suggest a Donek Axis, Coiler All Mountain or a Prior 4WD. All are versitile, carve like...
I'd have to go with my Coiler AM for being the most versitile. Mine's a 169 with a 21.5 waist....couldn't be happier with it.

That was so sweet I put it in my favorites! More please!
I'm a possibility. Have to check to see if I have any personal days at work. The last time I "played hooky" from work and went on a little adventure I wound up breaking my heel in a climbing...
I'm from south/central New York so I do most of my boating in the NY/ PA area but have traveled to the SE and out West several times. Been to Moose Fest a bunch of times....always a good time. Maybe...
A few we days ago there was a thread about toe side turns and where the body should be facing. I mentioned that I face the front of the board during toe side turns. It was suggested that I was...
When conditions are good It's hard to beat my Donek FCII 171. Having said that, I've been on my Coiler AM 169 this year much more than the Donek. The Coiler has a 21.5 waist and seemes to have a...
Right on Bro! Been yakin for about 18 years now. I agree with and enjoyed your analogy except for the "off season" part. I've been out boating twice in the past two weeks, one of which was the...
Interesting! I forwarded your post to my daughter who just arrived in Korea a few weeks ago. She's teaching English for a year in Souel. I taught her to ride on plates several years ago but...
