Hey Everyone, after many years away from the slopes I've had a couple of trips to the Austrian Alps this year on my very old Snowblades. Tried ski-ing again but afraid I'm hooked on the fun of snowblades, but I'm looking to upgrade to a 'proper' skiboard. After 12days (over the course of a year), I'm starting to get confident enough to ski backwards and switch and do small jumps, keep attempting the grinds but not quite pulling it off yet.
After much teasing from ski-depo boys in Soll, Austria, I'm really happy to find that skiboarding has a real following in America and isn't something people just do for a fun rental day.
I'd love some advice on what size/width of board to get? I want something that can keep up with my family on groomed and moguls, but also keep up with snowboarding buddies for occasional off-piste and have fun learning tricks in the parks. My 'gayblades' as most of Europe seems to refer to them, are 90cm long and very slim, so I'm worried something much fatter would be too harsh a change, but at the same time I'd love to handle powder in what ever i decide to get.
