New boots, packet powder, and full day of snowboarding
New boots came in on Friday. Drive to Tonka, slide on the boots, and walked around the store for 30m. Felt great. The idea of the new lace system is cool, but I wanted to field test them.
Saturday temp was on the low 30s, uppper 20s. Packed powder. 12 runs open. Was pumped about the bowl being open and 1 black. The new lace system really shines in the cold. You don’t have to take off your mittens, just tug, lock, and go.
Saturday it was just Leaf and I. Spent alot of time in the Bowl and on black run. Having a board that is more rigid really makes a difference in the chop. I’m still struggling with the extra 7cm on the new board, especially on a toe-side turn.
Not many people out. Lines were short. Ended the day with an hour or so riding fakey in the meadows.
