    rightsider replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 4 months ago

    Went for my first tour of season yesterday afternoon. Really nice and deep snow on top, but still super low tide. Around the Mansfield area. Here are couple quick GoPro clips. I could feel every stump, log, and rock under the snow. Super sketch. But, a couple more small storms and we won’t have to tip-toe nearly as much.

    Got in a few good turns…[Read more]

    Another negative of the k-clips is that they have moving parts. If a part moves it has a better chance of breaking or icing up. That said, I’m a big fan of the k-clips. I like the torsional rigidity they add.

    rightsider replied to the topic Arbor Abacus in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 8 years, 5 months ago

    You really can’t go wrong with either. The durability issues with the Arbor have been addressed and they changed the sidewall material. Another benefit of the Arbor is that it comes with k-clips instead of the voile clips.

    If you want something a little stiffer, the Arbor is great. If you want a softer board, the Freebird is great.

    Another thing…[Read more]

    Yup! This morning was definitely the best riding I’ve had this year. Much needed. Mellowed out my twitch a little!

    rightsider replied to the topic Northern Vermont '13-'14 in the forum Vermont 8 years, 5 months ago

    Ha, I wish! Work and family life have taken priority over the terrible conditions. Didn’t get any of the early season snow due to a crazy work schedule. Definitely looks like the weather pattern is changing. Nickel and diming the snow stake is the best scenario we can have. Keep it coming! Jonesing to put some time in the woods.

    highanxiety – sorry to hear about Utah and your injuries. Heal up quick. I had a similar rod in the lower half of my leg many years ago. The best rehab I found was swimming. I was able to get in the pool as soon as the incisions healed. Couldn’t kick, but squeeze a leg float and swim with your arms. I was told I might never snowboard again and…[Read more]

    Wasn’t me. They did a great job! I’m pretty sure Brent Harrewyn aka Hoverfly Photography made the video.

    BTW – conditions were soooo good above 2,500′ yesterday.

    I posted an overall conditions report in the TR section, but thought I would post a link here too.

    Sure was fun last weekend. The end of this week and coming weekend look even better!

    rightsider replied to the topic Arbor Abacus in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 9 years, 5 months ago

    I have 6 days on the Abacus 156 that I am reviewing for checkyourpins.com. My normal board is a Freebird 158. I don’t know the tech specs off hand, but the Abacus feels much lighter than the Freebird (and I thought the Freebird was light…). The 156 feels short for me, even though my solid is 156 (Burton Custom, best board ever) and my split is…[Read more]

    Yup, and todays reading will be even higher! The past week has been amazing. Yesterday and today were ridiculously fun. So sore! We might even be able to get on the splits within the next week. Just need 1 more good storm.

    Yesterday at Stowe:

    If its too warm for that, I’m usually bare handed.

    Awesome! Definitely one of the better Nov. pow days I can remember. Was that at Smuggs? I posted this in the TR section, but here is a quick video I shot at Stowe on Friday.

    Yup! This morning was pretty awesome. Chin Clip at Stowe was stacked with snow. Way more than anywhere else on the mountain. I’ll have a few quick clips up on http://www.checkyourpins.com later this evening!

    rightsider replied to the topic VT Manmade lap in the forum Trip Reports 9 years, 7 months ago

    By terrible I mean saturated un-groomed man-made snow, a lot of which had been chewed up by snowmobiles, with a dusting of fresh on top. Don’t get me wrong, it was really fun, but it was more for the exercise than the ride down.
