I ride a Custom X 158 and I want to add a dedicated powder board to the mix. Riding pow through the trees is some of my favorite terrain, and I find the Custom X gets the job done but I the Fish 3d sounds super fun for this. I'm 5' 10" 180lb and I'm trying to decide between the 151 and 156. Leaning towards the 151 for the tight tree runs, is it gonna be too short though? My 158 feels a little long sometimes with quick turns. It'd be nice to demo different sizes but realistically I'm doing last minute trips to the mountains so I'm inclined to just buy one. Looking to stick with EST so I can use my bindings for both boards. Also, hope I'm not jinxing the gently caress out of the snowfall this season by buying a powder board, sorry in advance.

Got to snowboard in Telluride last week for a few days, it was my first time there. What a magical little ski town. The snow conditions were not great, but we still had a wonderful time cruising around on groomers in the sunshine. The views are so incredible, everywhere you look. It seemed like there were a lot more skiers than snowboarders.

It was tough at the bottom of that side, so easy to get stuck in the pow! This thing surprised the hell out of me, I went right over it. It looked so much bigger in person than it does in the pic!

ought ten posted:Always bigger than they look. Is that the big lump pretty close to the lift line? There are a few good/bad drops back there. Yup that one is pretty close to the lift line. Lots of fun back there! I ended up ordering a Fish 3D for the powder days. Now it's time to pray to the weather gods. One of the lift rides up there was a group of 6 ski patrol at the big rock under the lift, I think it's called Hollywood? I think they were doing some training, adjusting the ropes and tightening the pad on the lift support. One of the patrollers tipped over and fell into the powder, much to the delight of everybody watching them from the lift. The lead patroller had a good laugh and told them everybody needs to be nice to the new guys

regulargonzalez posted:Going to Telluride for the first time this Friday, any recommendations for best runs? Oak Street Lift to Plunge Lift, then take See Forever alllll the way down to Village Express. The views are EPIC. Then take Village Express to Polar Queen for some more epic views near Bon Vivant. They have a really nice bathroom right there too. These are all intermediate runs IIRC, super fun though.

Math You posted:My smith I/OXs began disintegrating this season. I've used some super glue to get me through but it appears they are toast. I have heard Smith is good about sending you a replacement if you contact them about it, I have not tried this myself yet though.
