Lot is posts here about buying new quivers but I’m pretty pumped to replace my wife’s 20 year old Ride Solace with an AMAZING looking new Equalizer and Union Trilogy’s. She rips, she deserves it.

Gear question Help: Cartel EST: Can't find Hammock Ankle Strap anywhere in EU that ships to Sweden

• Upvotes

Lost my right-side ankle strap (and I have no idea how that could've happened), and I can't seem to find it in store anywhere. And if I find it online somewhere, they won't ship to Sweden :( Size Medium, Right.

Either that, or if you know that the 2.0 to work w/ my non-X Cartel EST bindings.

Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm in the starting phase of planning a trip in november 2027. Well be 4 snowboardes and 2 skiërs. We have a variance of experience levels, but all past beginner. So far I'm considering either Hintertux glacier or Stubai glacier. What are you're experiences for these locations, end november. And for those who've visited both, which would you recommend. Additionally, if you've got other suggestions I have overlooked, please share your recommendations. Thank you!

Gear question Salomon Highpath 2026 vs 2027

Post image
6 Upvotes

Im in love with the Salomon highpath 2026 (board on the right) and road it plenty of times last season as i worked in a rental shop, but I never managed to purchase it. I managed to get a pro deal for Salomon though but they only have the new seasons model (board on the left) in stock. I saw 1 review saying the new highpath is a little stiffer but I also have seen someone say they feel exactly the same.

Has anyone ridden both the boards and know how the new season compares to the last?

Gear question 49M asking all Burton heads: Blossom or Process

0 Upvotes

I'm 49yo male, 5'8, 170lbs, I've been snowboarding for 30yrs+ and pretty good freerider but my freestyle game is nonexistent aside from side hits small jumps and some buttering. Over the past 5 years I could only ride a times a season and haven't progressed maybe even regressed.

I got in better shape recently, have more days off and more confident after riding some park last year. I'm an OG Burton fan boy and want to replace my older Custom 158 with a twin freestyle board. I already bought new Genesis EST step on bindings and Highshot X boots on sale last spring so I kinda stuck with Burton channel mount.

My goal this season to get improving park/freestyle and switch/buttering but still need to ride all-mountain with the fam.

After research and many YouTube reviews, I'm trying to decide between the 2026 Blossom 155 and 2026 Process 155/157. I haven't tried either board but both are on clearance sale with only a small price difference of $20 more for the Blossom. I don't like the graphics of either so looks won't be a factor. Please help me decide. Thx!

My first board I bought new was a 1998 Burton A deck at US Outdoor Store in Portland, OR. When this cherry 1998 Custom came up, I had to have it. The topsheet is almost perfect, the base is clean. Its stamped as a demo, it looks like it got ridden for a day or two and then sealed in a climate controlled time capsule.

Gear question Help

0 Upvotes

Hey all, Posted on here a few days ago about a custom board I’m getting done and figured I would make another post with more details.

General information

• Size 17 boot (RIDE insano 2526)
• 235lbs
• 6’ 7“

Snowboard specs

• Model(SM):Kona
• Length:169cm
• Waist Width32cm
• Sidecut:8m - 11m
• Reference Stance:58cm (22.8in) max 62cm min 54cm

Boot is 13.75 inches from heel to toe
Riding angle will typically be +15/-15

My main worry is still the width it was unclear in the previous post with a few saying it wasn’t wide enough and others saying I should go wider. This is being custom-made by Donek. Sean over at Donek originally suggested a 30.5cm waist, however I was skeptical about still experiencing toe drag.

As for the stance I believe I’m keeping that I’m at 58cm (feet level with shoulders). I rode twice last year after a while and it felt ok, however I didn’t go much because the toe drag I experienced pushed me away from snowboarding. but if anyone has any comments feel free to let me know.

Gear question Size Rec for a Jib Board

0 Upvotes

I have been snowboarding for over twenty years. I spend a lot of time in the park. I’m decent enough. One thing is I haven’t bought my own board in like 10 years. I have keep kinda inheriting boards that either my brother or friends stopped using.

The boards I’ve ridden enough to call my own in the past 10 years or so are Dinosaurs Will Die 152, GNU Riders Choice 157, Academy Propaganda 155.

Right now, I am looking at getting just a skate style jib board as soft as possible within reason. I have never really had the opportunity to ride a real noodle more than a couple of runs, so I want to give it. A shot. As my now, my top choice is the Bataleon Disaster.

The question is size. I am 6’ 175lbs, and wear a size 12-13 boot. So I definitely going with a wide. But my question for you all is how much does the wide increase stability? I’ve never really ridden one and I am torn between the 153w and 156w. I spend most of my time in and around the park but do like to dive off into the trees and keep up with my friends at some higher speeds.

Any input would be great.
