Any EC splitboarders here?

[BigJay]

Ok, i'm getting all excited about the upcoming season. I bought a new splitboard to replace the old one... I got the spark Ignition bindings and a new pack... So i'm full of new toys and eager to try them!

Any other splitboarders around here? (Except those i see on splitboard.com)

If so, where do you ride? Whare are you from?

the sparks are fly. i will get a pair of the igintion 2's befor the season starts. will is a really nice guy. i am actually plaing around with a set of my technines to mod them to work like the sparks because i don't like the highback all that much.

i have a split 165 air and i just split a 159 rippey that put in some taper into for tighter trees.

most of the splitting i do takes place at mansfield. although it looks like i might be doing a 4 week trip out west.

funny i have been getting the same feeling that i might be able to hit the spots i have been maintaining by my lake house. i would be really nice to be able to do some stuff within a few hours of home.

Nice stuff! The mod for the bindings should be pretty easy.... Either drill the highback to fit the Ignition heelcup... Or fit the heelcup and highback onto the baseplate of the Ignition...

My new setup is super light! I'M sure it compares to the Makinen 164 w/ palmer risers and Salomon team carbon bindings i have for icy resorts...

If you ever do something to modify the bindings, take a few pictures and come share it over on sb.com in the DIY forum for all things splitboard related.

I've never been to Mansfield but i'd love to... We might try and organise something with a few people from SB... Maybe get a little movie out of it for the community. It won't be a secret stash or anything... So no worries there...

Alright... who else?

im a member over there as well just dont post much. actually what i was think was using a 3d scanner that i have access to scan the base's in. then remodel them so it will acept the pucks and pins. the kicker is i have two pretty big blocks of titanium sitting at my boys machine shop. then just have him run the program on his 5 axis. i might do them out of aluminium first. i know the did a east coast GTG last year. nice thing about stowe is it great for being lazy. the lifts get you most of the way there if you want or you can do some cool tours that never even go by the lifts. for my limited time its an area that really lets me do what i want.

That'd be cool! I know of a couple places... but nowhere near what you know of course! So yeah, we should try and ride this winter... but then again, we didn't get to ride this summer... Any big ridding plans over the next couple of weekends?
:beer:

I cook breakfast at the pitcher inn in warren. Cooking at night is a great gig in the winter. In at 2 everyday and a free pass to sugarbush if I want it. now a days it put's me on the opposite schedual as my wife (some would also count this as a plus, but I love my wife). Got some things in the works for the winter. Not sure what will shake out. Hopefully something flexable as in "it just snowed, I'll be in later" kinda thing.

o how i know. i have to run my installation biz durring the day then i have to deal with the clients at night. my girl loaths my job. i just love the fact that winter is the slow season for installations. i cant wait to get out of the city and move back up into the area. stuff here is starting to wear on me. really want to be in the stowe area im just waiting for the prices on realestate to drop on 108. it seams like all the property is owned by the people from canada.

GL with that. Stowe is one market that is kind of insulated from the housing crisis. Those people always have money. Hyde Park is real nice. So is Elmore. And close. Being in lamoille county was not important enough for me to pay that much for so little, just to be there. And there is such fun back country all over the place. I can still get up there and get what i want fresh when it's good....don't feel like I have to live there for that anymore.

for running a business i feel that stowe would be the best place it terms of being sustainable but i am in no rush so i will just wait till the right place comes along.
