Snowboarding

[noharleyyet]

195 K2 and 205 Rossignols for me...liked the control of the shorter/wider skis but preferred the speed of the longer skinnys. I stopped all of it when the ortho doc advised. That's been a minute ago.

I lost my downhill chutzpa a couple years ago. Love love love cross-country though. Have 4 pairs of XC skis. Best days are on skis!

It’s like a box squat stance, not quite seated, but 120 degrees or so. Pow is cherry. On manufactured snow, you got to yeet that back foot hard to aggressively edge. Everyone biffs some of the time so get up and shred.

I’m an oldster, been a pinhead since the days of low leather boots and lignestone edges. I used to take pleasure in kicking the butts of my alpine friends.
