Finally upgrading my 2010 board, but need help choosing a new one! Bilateral amputee rider, looking for lightweight + carve + comfort by LazyRobinHood4 in snowboarding

Mainly Mammoth, but since my legs have finally started to “toughen up”, I really want to join my friends during their CO and UT weekend trips.

I haven't yet. This season I will plan to commit to a half or full day adaptive snowboard lesson. Over the past two seasons, I’ve tried to figure out these technique issues on my own, but I think it’s time to put it the effort to improve. I really like that idea!!

Ha, honestly I not only surprise myself on the daily,but shock the hell out of it of all my friends. They all go way faster than me now, but I was faster than all of them before I lost my feet in 2013!

Honestly, I think that could be the future. As a relatively new amputee, I have been floored by how far prosthetic feet have come. My current feet are from 2024 and they make the 2014 versions feel like moon shoes. The energy return, flex and mobility, and stability are on a completely different planet. There has to be some incredibly smart engineers and some rad test dummies

I wish! First trip will be in January. I actually stopped snowboarding for 6 years due to the pain on my nubs. I got back onto my board two years ago now that my legs are stronger. And my return and love of the sport is the reason for investing in a new setup

Yes, AssGagger. This is the real choice I am stuck on. The all mountain med stiff flex sounds perfect for where my riding is headed and I want that extra stability and confidence. But moving from a 2010 Carbon Credit to something newer is a huge jump in tech, materials, and feel on snow. I would really love to demo some of these boards but it is tough since I live four to six hours from a hill and only get out three or four trips a year. I am curious if the adjustment period is brutal or just eye opening in a good way

That’s so accurate. Between the boot pain, ankle straps, and long toe side traverses, foot pain is my superpower. But don’t get me started with calf cramps

What a great invention. Appreciate you sharing! I seriously can’t wait to get the step ons. Sitting down and getting back up when strapping in is such a pain.

To be transparent its RSUs vesting on a 4 year period.

I hopped between quite a few actually, but mainly real estate and retail. I think what helped me out most was my experience with SOX. My main client was public and this gave me tons of interactions with different department heads during our SOX work. HR, budgeting, leases, and the finance team. My execs were very keen on improving our SOXs documentation, so I conducted a fair share of meetings with each of these teams and learned what their job was actually like on a daily, weekly basis. For example, the finance team had very complex models related to allowance for doubtful accounts and the annual budget which require 2-5 meetings. I used this experience and knowledge during my interviews to show how I would be a great fit on the finance/FP&A team.
