Snowboards.....what do you ride if you ride?

[autox-racer]

GPS... I just got a Garmin 60cs. I love it. I can't wait to try it snowboarding. Just one of they many uses I think I have found for it. My race car will enjoy hauling it around next year for track maps and velocity plots. I might try to use it next month when I go to skip barber Laguna seca... which would also include altitude

Have you had any problems with getting satellite coverage in a backpack or pocket on a mountain?

I just got a new board last year: Burton Custom with ride MIG bindings and Salomon boots... Spread the wealth. I tried several Burton boards during a demo day and this was by far the best for my style. I would highly recommend a demo day before buying.

I have a Burton Canyon with the Burton step in bindings (with backs).
Been snowboarding about.... JESUS! 9 years now, where did the time go.

I'll back autox-racer on the value of demo'ing. The wife and I demo'ed Burtons last year at Heavenly (I tried the Air and Triumph) and I tried a Santa Cruz (don't remember the model) at Kirkwood. I learned a lot in those two days!! The most important thing was what I wanted in a board - float in the powder and stability on the hard pack. I also learned that the techniques I developed on my crappy 5150 beginner's rental board were hurting me on a proper, responsive board. Anyway, the Triumph was the best one for me, so I bought a new but roughed-up-in-the-showroom specimen on eBay for half of retail.

Up until a few years ago I had a Burton 350. I think I got it back in around '87-'88'ish. I recall well cause I was in 8th grade and the board was WAY too large for me, heh. I cut up like there was no tomorrow. AFter my bad accident I didnt do it for a while cause I didnt think I could with my foot and ankle being turned into pudding. I eventually made it back out to try and sure enough, I couldnt. Spent 3 days in the lodge getting a good depressed drunken binge going while my friends blew up powder the whole time.

Sold my board last year to a girl I work with. She apparently has a few boards. I still have a surfboard though. I am sure I cant do that anymore either, but I wont give up hope on that until I try.

I ride a Burton a.59.

I've had this for years now and it's held up well considering what I put it through every year!

I'm really looking forward to riding this winter. The VX is a nice vehicle to get me up north during the harsh, but fun, winter months here in New Hampshire

Here's a few shots of it (I know, it needs to be waxed BIG TIME)
