Apparently skiboarding is a thing. Looks hard to really carve on them. Anyone actually tried it?

Hey them from the rental shop for free. It was stupid but fun. https://youtu.be/_X5LYEDRWFE Saw this vid show up in my recs and looks like they still make them. That YouTube guy wears them without releasable bindings lol

Skiboard != Snowblade if there was any confusion. The former are long and wide boards that are worn like skis

how does mt baker compare to cypress mountain this time of the year (in terms of crowds/size)? Wondering if it's worth the trek.

What are some good ski boot inserts for arch support? I think someone mentioned a few pages back but I forget

My riding buddy is a beginner, so it was a good time to learn switch. For some reason I can transition the turns ok, but I’m off balance, with a tendency to fall toeside, while heading straight down the fall line. Maybe I’m weighting the back foot too much.

One wheel nosedives sound p scary, and the fact it could happen from mechanical failure. Also, judging by forum posts, one wheel community fanboys are really annoying, but that’s sorta neither here nor there. The leiftech board is neat but I hear it’s a maintenance nightmare

The fun part is that vail will be fine even when the economy tanks due to their monopoly power. They’ll just use the opportunity to buy up more mountains on the cheap.

They overprescribe labrum repair surgery so you ought to get multiple opinions if you haven’t already

Moot .1415926535 posted:Good to know, I’ll know more after my MRI this afternoon. May end up driving up to Vail for the surgery as I’ve heard good things about the shoulder guy there. Yeah, I had 3 opinions, the first 2 recommended surgery and the last one recommended some stretches and PT. IIRC, the surgery often isn’t 100% repair either so if you can get away without it, you’re probably better off.

fknlo posted:One of my friends went there last year. He didn't care for it at all as a snowboarder. He said he was constantly walking due to catwalks. Outside of that he said he loved it there. There's several peaks at Zermatt and some sides of the mountain are better than others for snowboarding imo. The scenic area near the matterhorn isn't so great for snowboarding.

HookShot posted:It's not going to; they're hanging onto capital so that they can take advantage of any fire sales of borderline bankrupt ski resorts. Well naturally. But if skiing is dead for a couple years and poo poo really goes south, surely they’ll get some sweet bailout money
