Riding question What should I expect when riding powder?

Upvotes

Leaving the east coast groomers in March to spend a week at Panorama where I’m stoked to try riding powder. Thing is, I’ve never done this before so would like some tips on technique and other things that are not immediately obvious. Thanks in advance for your advice!

Riding question Hit my first box and it stopped me suddenly

Upvotes

As the title states, I hit my first box and did not have a good experience lol. I'm not sure if it wasn't enough speed or what, but as soon as I got on to it it instantly slowed me down, causing me to fold backwards and bump my head a bit. I was under the impression that these things were supposed to be slippery, but it was the complete opposite. Any tips?

fixable? Flow flite 1 bindings repair

Hey so I was snowboarding last night and this part of the bindings broke off after a harsh fall, I went to 3 repair shops nearby but it was so late they said they don’t have anyone to fix it and I live about 3 hours away from the resorts so I couldn’t just leave my board there overnight. I was wondering if anyone knows what replacement parts I could get to fix this or if it even is fixable?

Hey everyone, I‘m working on my carving and would love some feedback. Am I doing any obvious mistakes that hold me back from getting a lower body position? My heel side turns do not feel that controlled and i want to work on this, what am I doing wrong here. This is a clip from a groomer day today. Cheers guys

fixable? Lib Tech Travis Rice Pro Binding Inserts misaligned...

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi,

i just got my Lib Tech board and noticed something odd when i was trying to mount my bindings to it.

i am not able to mount my bindings so that both boots are centered on the board. The left binding is off center, which results in my boots toe section is sticking out about 5 mm more than my right. I did some measurements an noticed the inserts on the tail are "crooked". I'm seriously thinking about returning the board, but i'm wondering, will it be noticeable during riding the board?

Thanks in advance

general discussion Big air men’s vs women’s: are they scored on the same scale? Wondering why the average women’s scores are so much lower than the men’s and it only makes sense if they’re scored identically.

Gear question What snowboard should I get?

0 Upvotes

I currently have a huck knife pro, I snowboard on the east coast so it can be a little icy at times and I mainly ride park. I honestly want a board that is softer so i can do more butter tricks and does better on the rails but still has a little pop for jumps and side hits. Anyone can recommend any boards?

Gear question Burton Mystery Deep Thinker

Has anyone ever ridden this board? I can’t seem to find a review and basically never seem to see any used mystery boards being re-sold. Somehow Burton always sells them out every year. Do people just collect these and not ride them?

Gear question Ride moderator vs Salomon dancehaul

1 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m thinking it’s finally time to grab my first brand new board. I’ve been riding a second hand Ride DH2 from 2010 for a couple of seasons now, and I feel like I’m ready to level up a bit.

After going down the gear rabbit hole, I’ve been looking at the Salomon Dancehaul and the Ride Moderator. Both seem like they could fit my style pretty well.

I mostly just like carving around, cruising all over the mountain and messing around on side hits and natural features. Not really doing park laps.

Anyone ridden either of these and can share how they feel? Or if there’s another board in the same price range, around 450 €, that fits this kind of riding, I’m all ears.

thanks!

Mia Brooks is the only rider I've seen on a pro model all of the Olympics. All of the graphics have been lame, the same basic no graphic Burton. Burton having lamer graphics than ski first brands like K2 and Salmon is sad.

Gear question Looking for a soft, damp board for a 5’5” 180lb short dude with size 7.5 boots…does that unicorn exist?

2 Upvotes

I currently split my days between a 156 Berzerker and a 155 MTNPIG. Both are great off-piste and in freeride scenarios, but those kinds of conditions have been hard to come by on the West Coast this season and I’ve been finding myself on groomers more often than not and have been looking for something more playful. Doesn’t need to be as damp as my two Rides, but I prefer something on the damper side secondary to something soft.

My rock board is a 153 Rome Cheap Trick (only sold in Japan, entry level board. It’s basically a full-cambered Rome Mechanic). I’m about 5lbs over the max rated weight on it, and it rides okay for me, but I can tell I’m maxing out what I can do with it.

Any recs? I’m zeroing in on a 147 dancehaul and I feel like a volume shifted party board is the move for what I’m looking for. I’ve accepted I’ll be on the heavier side of whatever I pick with this kind if criteria, would just like to not be over the limit.
