Will be riding soft ALPs--my sweet spot--for almost everything
After working to strengthen ankles, hoping to be able to ride those wide KTPs more aggressively all day without ankle fatigue cuz they're so damn fun
Praying for enough powder to need poles with the 125s or Sherpas for at least a few days this year
Like everybody, curious to try the Blunts...
'07 "soft" ALPs
Eyeball DLPs
125 LEs
Ospreys mounted bindings
Crossbows
Spruce riser release bindings
Sometimes borrower of Chad's spare Blunt XLs
120's and 125's. The 125's may have slipped in there ahead of the 120's at the top of the class, but you don't unseat the long-time champ without a rematch.
RC's with RE softboot bindings. Blunts with the same setup. "On paper" the Blunts appear to be made for that match.
Sherpas in certain conditions, and assorted experimental concoctions.
B.L.U.N.T.S. -- I can't wait to give these a go. Experiencing the Line 96's last year makes me believe these will be killer boards. I think I am going to get a pair of my FF-pro's powder coated black and white, to match with these guys.
Other then that, I have my Hiero's with orange FF-pro's as backups. My girlfriend will be continuing on Snowjam 90 TT's.
This makes me want to unload other pairs of boards I have: 2013 Marauders for cheap (beat up topsheet), 2 pairs of Line Weapons (one pair beat up-perfect for urban shredding, the other pair ridden once-good shape), Summit Custom old school Woodie 110's (ridden about twice-good shape). All for sale!!!
I'll be on the Rockered Condors predominantly, but I'll probably also spend time on the KTP's and '96 Lines.
For bindings, I'm sticking with my step-in Bombers. The setup has all the lateral rigidity that I need to control the wide boards, and I love the convenience of the step-in interface.
Long time!
what'sstep-in bombers? I never heard or seen it. you got pictures of them?
I only made it out 3 times last year but after the second run on the RC's I was bombing down a powder filled black diamond run at Mt Ashland. I'm working with my cousin to help him get set up on some Condors or maybe the RC's with the Technine Bindings in a couple of weeks. We are hoping to hit up Steven's Pass in Washington a few times in December.
Just got my new Slapdashes last week which are replacing my old 2007 BWPs that I bought used from someone here 3 or 4 seasons ago. Moving my Roxy/Spruce release bindings over to the new boards asap.
I am really intrigued by the Blunts, maybe next season! The new Slapdashes look beautiful, btw. I can't wait to take them out on the slopes. Hopefully this weekend, if not sooner. We are supposed to get more snow tonight/tomorrow here in the mid-Atlantic!
I'm rockin the New RVL8 Revolt Tree's and the red modified Sims snowbaord bindings.
They slice through the snow like a dream, despite the top strap being a tad large.

Hello Ghostwolf, welcome to the forum ! glad you are having fun on the Trees with the Sims bindings... when you say the top strap too large ., do you mean it fits too loosely even when you ratchet it down? , this is easily remedied by removing the screw holding the top strap to the wings and reattaching with a hole closer to the front of the strap and then reattaching the screw .... hope that helps ..
