    You'll kick some butt on the descents, right?:)

    You may want to try...
    a split board with skins, do you think you can demo one, or rent one? they've come a long ways in the last few years.

    By the way, I hope you have a blast in the backountry, be safe!!

    I guess I never made it to Sunday on my recollection of events at the Mt. Baker LBS, but it was an awesome day spent mainly in the backcountry, we hiked out to Tables where we had line options that ranged from chutes, spines, powder bowls and cliffs, here we have a furry picture of the gang rocking perma-grins at the bottom of the bowl, with Tables and our lines behind, this picture does not do it justice, but below it is another shot of the same area from a different angle (we dropped in by where the cars to the right are), and you can see how it made my week... :D

    They are having demo days all Feb, so I wil definitely take a peek, whether they'd let me take it out into the backcountry for a few hours is another question though???
    sweet photos, who's the chickie in front there???

    They always have a demo split board or two... The one I bought was a demo board from their fleet.. Just swing by on the way up... No worries!

    Anyway, have fun regardless... Conditions should be good for a walk'n ride...

    And Canaria, nice place for a ride. Looks like a hellava lot of fun.. Gotta love a good ride with friends on terrain like that..

    No, I have no clue. Please clarify? With user manual and trick tips if you please?

    But rest assured, I *see* what you mean..
