Anyone know if the CAIC going to resume zone forecasts later this year? Right now it’s all state wide. Since I missed the entirety of last season I don’t remember if they stopped doing certain forecasts due to funding cuts or what. #IStillMissTheRose

Whee, I got my 4 day pass from Winter Park today. Because of various issues, I wasn't able to get out at all last season, so I'm happy I'll get at least 4 days in this season.

I feel like if I met a park like this I might actually be inclined to dip in and learn a thing to two... it looks way more fun and less high-consequence than the formal comp stuff, and I'm one of those weirdos that's comfortable doing side hits but gets weird with a lot of hangtime. Also, yeah, way less boring.

ironlung posted:Zone backcountry avalanche forecasts will begin in mid-November per the front page of the website. Fair. I think I’m a big dummy and just didn’t grok that this was for individual zones and not Colorado as a zone. I remain perpetually terrified of CAIC budget cuts neutering forecasting.

Yay and WC like Hookshot says. I use the stock head raptor strap but it's pretty similar poo poo.

Cool, that was the plan. I tried on a pair of Lange RX 130 in the low volume model and they come stock with a booster style strap, but my idiot feet are too wide to realistically make that work. I liked the feel of a locking strap a lot though. Really not looking forward to breaking in new boots, but also looking forward to boots that don't have several broken buckles and that ski at like 90 flex

Eejit posted:Booster straps, yay/nay? I use the expert strap, I guess I'm a beater Also the "booster style" strap on the RX 130 is not a booster strap. The magic of boosters is the elastic, the stock Lange strap has the cam lock but no elastic so it is better than a velcro strap but still sux compared to Boosters.

New board time. I am looking at picking up either the Jones Hovercraft in a 156, or the T. Rice Orca in a 153 (the only size they make it) I tend to stay in the trees, but working at a resort means I am riding every day, and need something that is a bit of a swiss army knife. The reviews for the Orca make it sound like the kind of riding I am interested in, but I am not nearly as big a fan of the topsheet on that board compared to the Hovercraft. Someone please make my mind up for me.

Biohazard posted:Anyone have Nordica Enforcer 100's? They seem like a solid all around ski, a few people have recommended them to me. Skied a few runs on the 90 whatever version and they're nice. They're pretty burly, but still reasonably playful. Actually thought about buying a demo pair a few weeks ago for about 250 but decided that I can get at least one more season out of my current non powder skis

# ? Nov 9, 2018 21:53 |
I have the Santa Ana 100s which is apparently the enforcer with a women’s (read:prettier) top sheet and I love them. If you’re an aggressive skier you’ll like them.

I've always gone to Jackson Hole in late Jan early Feb, and haven't been since 2015. Any idea what it might be like this year in mid-Jan or historically is that a decent time to go? I've got a 50/50 record the six times I've been of it being good, so I figure whenever I go it'll just dump powder the second I leave anyway.

My quiver this year is the Never Summer Chairman 2018 (freeride daily driver), Gentemstick XY 2018 (versatile pow board) and Amplid UNW8 2015 (stiff but energetic camber deck for groomer days). My Burton Custom Twin 2016 is on loan and my K2 Carveair isn't probably going to get ridden this year. I absolutely don't need any more boards but still want one. Oddly enough, I'm leaning toward very traditional directional twin camber boards these days instead of all the fancy shapes and volume shift boards. I'm pretty interested in the Nitro Suprateam. Anyone have any experience or thoughts on it. Or any other recommendations. i was also looking at the Nitro Beast, the Yes Optimistic and Nitro Squash.
