  • It's Over For Me

    After thirty years on the hill, and one year out from heart surgery, I am back on the mountain. Two days in I have to admit it's finally over for me. I have finally found my one quiver board. The Blunt XLs. Powder, chop, hard pack, broken crud, ice, they do it all. And did I mention they are FAST! It's going to be one hell of a week.

      Relieved! You had me worried with the title of your thread. I thought you meant over over.

      I'm feeling the same way about the XLs. I've sold off all my boards except for the Blunts, XLs and the RCs. I only want to ride the XLs, so I'm probably going to sell the Blunts too. I'll keep the RCs for deep powder days. That's if it ever snows again in Tahoe.

      2013 Spruce Sherpas w/Tyrolia Peak 11s
      2023 Spruce Stingers w/Tyrolia Peak 11s

      2020 RVL8 Sticky Icky Ickys w/Tyrolia SX 10s


      Boots:

          Every board is the best board ever made. They just keep on getting better and better.

              Good to hear you are out on a mountain. Where are you at? When do we see pictures and video?

              You will always continue your search, that is what makes it part of the fun and differentiates us from skiers who keep the same sticks forever.

                I guess we still have to put up with Valmorel.

                  Every board you make,
                  Is a board I'll take,
                  If my bank don't break,
                  I'll be riding you.

                            congrats, glad to hear you are back out on the slopes and doing well! Havn't had a chance to try the blunt xls yet, but everyone on the forum seems to be raving about them. Keep shredding!
