Anyone looking to get out this weekend in the Whites?

Similarly, I’ve used snow-forecast.com, which it looks like is the same people as mountain-forecast.com

I can’t wait! Loving the 1st gen phantoms! Those look even better!

Anyone interested in getting out this coming weekend in ME/NH?

Supertramp:

I’d definitely go with the 167. I think the 162 would be too short for you.

I’d like to chime in on the Furberg awesomeness. I’m hooked. I’ve found the shape to ride really well in both hard snow conditions and powder. The 3-D feel in powder is really amazing. It is amazingly forgiving and versatile. The board can get really nice edge hold when you ask it to do so. I rode it on a recent trip to Utah at the resort and…[Read more]

Anyone getting out this weekend? Anyone have recent experience on conditions in the Whites around Mt. Washington?

Thanks,

New splitter from Maine, will be in Park City from Sunday 2/24 thru Friday 3/2.

Anyone willing to show a guy around, or any recommendations for local back-country guides?

Thanks for any tips!
Matt

Barrows,

I will be bringing my split too :headbang: I’m hoping to demo a Chimera board while out there as well. The people I’m going with don’t split, tho 🙁

Thanks for the feedback!

Need advice:
I picked up a furberg 167, but have yet to ride it. I’m going to Park City next week :bananas:

Question is, will this be okay for all conditions, or should I take another board in case the snow isn’t soft?

Thanks!

Just in case you haven’t checked the catalog yet–there will be an upgrade option for the current spark users. I’m not sure it will be all that much cheaper as you are mostly only using the straps and high back, but I love that they offer that!

Way to go Will!

HFT: I hope you will take a moment to write your impressions of the Never Summer SL vs. the Venture Odin when you feel you have adequate riding time on both boards. I am sure many readers at SB.com would be interested in the comparison.

That said, personally, I wish Never Summer would make the 163 SL with an 11-12 meter average…

Anyone know if there is decent snow for splitting in NH/ME? Anyone getting out this weekend?

Have you seen the knotted rope mod that some of the skimo guys are using with TLT5s? They tie a small piece of accessory chord through the hole in the upper buckle so that it can be left hanging and you just have a pull tab on the buckle or you can flip it over so that the knot ends up between the buckle and the shell so that it…

Nice to see a review of the board! Thanks for taking the time!

The NS Heritage you didn’t like–is that the same thing as the Summit, or different? I’d be interested to hear more about what you didn’t like from that board if you have the time.

Thanks,
Matt

Philip,

Any other initial impressions? I’m considering picking up the race plush like you had or the newer model like you just received.

Which would you order?

Thanks,
Matt
