Hello Out there,
I need a little help. I have been riding Line MNP's for the past 8 years and I absolutely love them. Now however, I want to kick it up a notch. As much as I love the MNP's I feel I could use something a little more on the steep stuff and a bit better float in the powder..
Choosing a set of boards for most folks is easy, I however am not like most folks. I am in my 40's, 6'1" tall and weigh close to 300lbs. I ski mostly in New England at a solid intermediate level and sometimes fool around on the advanced stuff.
My dream boards are fast, do it all, all mountain, and are not to physically demanding to ride but could still take me deep into the diamonds when needed. I figure I need a board with a larger surface area, the Sherpa or the 120 are my primary choices so far. I recently spontaneously purchased a pair of ALP's on Ebay with a composite riser and C509 bindings (have not had a chance to use them yet).
My questions are;
1) Is the composite riser and/or the c509 bindings appropriate for my size and weight or should I change out the bindings?
2) Are the ALP's appropriate and will they do what I'm looking for?
3) Should I purchase the Sherpas or the 120 or maybe even the Candors and give the ALP's to my wife?
3) Any other suggestions or comments?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
