So here is my ride of choice for the season. The 2008 Nidecker Platinum 163 XL.
Although I didn’t have the time or money to demo many, this board just seemed to call out to me. I’m riding a 19″ stance, with front binding at 15 degrees and the back at 5 degrees. I didn’t take but two runs for me to get it dialed in.
To say this board is responsive is an understatement. It definitely requires that I am mentally present.
This is by far the best board I’ve ever ridden. It seems to have the best of all worlds, good float off the trail in the fluff and tight and turney on the groomers.
And that’s about all I got’s to say about that.

It never seems as steep in the movies as it really is…

A couple days ago I became a beta tester for a company called Klymit. I first heard about their operation at the Global Entrepreneur Week convention in Utah sponsored by Grow Utah Ventures.
I got to see their operation and play with some gadgets for starters.
Very cool group of guys. I’m looking forward to testing this out on the slopes.
To quote their website “Klymit is a noble-gas based insulation. Its lighter, loftier, and more compactable than any fabric insulation out there. The gas is eco-friendly, you will never find it in a land fill. Its non-toxic, colorless, orderless, 100% safe.”

I couldn’t help myself. I just had to have it. After all the times I’ve been out on a trail or slope and have said to myself ‘Man, I wish person name was here’, well now they can! Sorta.

Anyway, it only took about an hour before my wife quit rolling her eyes at me.
I am geek, hear me roar.
