I don’t often meet anyone who’ll walk and talk with me anymore so…

nice to run into you, snurfer.

Anything goes this time of year.

Got the same 195 outer edge cap swallowtail. It hasn’t been on snow in two years because we haven’t seen a big storm.

I’ve been testing equipment for Voile over 25 years, including split boards since day one.
Currently trying the 165 and a cob job dynafit toe, cable heel, bellowed AT boot, mounted on next years V6 ski.
All the stuff is…[Read more]

I snow board in powder, otherwise ski but…
I have four pair of capped skis and two capped splitters.
The 165 revelator I’m using is a beat to shit demo with two core shots.
It has been to 40° slopes, no problem.
Have not had any durability issues on any capped constructed skis or boards.
I’ll take the light weight and not worry about urban…[Read more]

I’ve been on the 162 and 165. No idea if they are production models.
Similar feel to the mojo. More power with a nice kick coming out of turns.
No fish scales on the ones I tried.
Capped = lighter board.
Like the 165 better for float.
Much nicer boards than the Artesans.

I was on skis that day but, there were no tracks on the hill prior to my descent.
Sorry for the confusion.

I dropped this cornice

in Georges today.
I was using Georges as an exit after coming from Alta and looking at a very large avalanche in upper Cardiff.
I am not in the habit of randomly kicking cornices. The drop was a stability test to insure a safe descent.
I followed the path left by the cornice crossing no tracks till reaching the flat where…[Read more]

Actually, switching board halves came about the day after we mounted the first 15 hooger boogers with proto hardware because the chinese hooks were fixed and you’d catch the board on um if the halves weren’t switched.
In answer to the question…yup.

Took it out yesterday. Used old boots(backwards compatible).
Marginally functional as it sits. Needs some serious work and a mountain boot not a jibber boot.
BTW, I am not calling a modified AT ski boot a mountain boot. Ski boots are for skiers.
I want a light comfy updated super pipe style snow board boot.

Can’t wait to get me hands on the system

but, the boots need work.
Reliable both boot release in avalanche far outweighs the current flaws. Been there done that.

Put um on. Makes entry and exit easier.
Don’t plan on release for avalanche, though…and one in, one out is as bad or worse than both in.

I could tell a story or two about that and a few other things but…
:nononno:

Two days fresh on a 170,
8-10″

20-24″

knocked around in debris, good float with 2′, nimble on the exit out gullies.
Uh…it stopped snowing, waiting.

Voile, same thing, sure they have some new boards coming out but whos testing them? whos providing feedback (Besides Bob, cause while I love Bob, why would you have the guy who talks the most shit on snowboarders be your snowboard tester), I brought this to Voile the result-poop/deaf ears.

I try skis, snoboards and bindings, when…[Read more]

I’ll post one up.

My favorite from this winter of meager(so far) snowfall.

I have three pair of those boots. The ones I use also have an instep buckle attached.
I also have the parts to make an attached high back. Have been trying for several years to get some help with that but…Wally does the r and d.
BTW, the best time for r and d is during the summer months so testing can be done during the winter.
