Hi everyone, I'm excited to say that I'm ready to pull the trigger and buy my first skiboard. First off, I'm a long time snow boarder who just tried skiing for the first time at the end of last season and discovered that I was actually better at it after one day than years of boarding. Go figure. So I ended up buying some second hand skis first for $50 and new boots (Salomon X Pro 120) to get started just to make sure I was making the right decision with the big change. What I discovered that I didn't like were the length of skis for mobility/crossing tips and carrying them around (Riding on some 192cm Rossignol Viper X). The speed was great, but they don't exactly give me a sense of playfulness or confidence in moguls. I've played hockey all my life and am pretty convinced that the comfort I found being on skis would be even greater on skiboards.
I'm looking for a one board quiver on the West Coast of B.C. Canada. I'll be riding Cypress the most often but plan on making a big trip out to the Rockies and hitting up places like Revelstoke, Sunshine, Kicking Horse, Lake Louise, Mt. Norquay, Big White and so on. Thus, I plan on riding just about every type of terrain and conditions imaginable and I need some boards that will tackle anything thrown at them! I want to take them off drops and jumps as well but not really interested in boxes and rails. The idea of hiking up back country and tackling some untouched pow isn't out of the question either.
I'm 6'1" and 195lbs.
