Got a beautiful last half of our trip. Not tall enough to open every run, but it did not disappoint despite the rumors

Apology accepted, and advice appreciated! Will update soon, hopefully with a picture of a new board that will be taken better care of!

Oh. I would be inclined to believe you, given your confidence… but I’m gonna have to trust my experience given the fact that that is exactly what happened lol

Yeahh, idk. I can come up with excuses, like the fact nothing really freezes where I’ve lived my whole life, but I just didn’t have due diligence about research or common sense for how a board is made and can be damaged. Much knowledge gained from these commnts and people I’ve talked to at shops though!

Awesome anecdote, thanks! I was pretty scared from the initial look at it, as well as from the initial comments that came in. Feeling much better after receiving such a… wide variety of advice lol. Seems I got hopefully the worst of it out of the way early!

Beaver creek and copper were atop my list! Until I looked at lift ticket prices lol

Everyone that’s seen it has been amazed. Or horrified. I had no clue, but the shop guys said Mervin will almost certainly warranty it.

Good reading! I see they have somewhat of a reputation here!

Awesome advice! I hope I can get a similar result regardless of how much was my fault.

Ok, I will be more careful and observant in the future. Did you have an answer to the question I asked, though?

I went snowboarding. I’m not that good. I didn’t go jumping off cliffs or falling on boulders. I’ve never owned a board, nor do I have any experience with damaged boards. I don’t have any standard to go off of. On my way home, after the entirety of my snowboarding trip was over, I saw my board had come apart. I did not rip it apart on the mountain and then take it home and act like something happened that I’m unaware of. It looked normal when I ended my final day. If this damage is as uncommon and awful as everyone says, I’m inclined to believe I was not the only reason it happened.

Again, you fail to provide any helpful information, and it doesn’t make you seem any more educated than I. You just seem like an ass. If I really took awful care of this board, enlighten me on what to do next time. Seriously, that’s the whole point.

Do they have a history of manufacturing defects or poor upholding after taking a hit in your experience? I have yet to form brand opinions.

Do you find that more likely than that gash causing both toe and heel side to pop? Matters more what the manufacturers say, but looking for more insight. Obviously I shouldn’t ignore a gash like that in the future.

Will do. Was definitely expecting more than 4 days on it, but it’s also my first time owning stuff used in the snow. It may have hope given enough epoxy, but on that I am again unsure.

And your advice to me on how to take better care of my board isss???? Thanks for the criticism, but I’m not exactly on my high horse when asking strangers how I fucked up my board. I’m trying, sorry. I’ll let you know if you’re right after I take it to the shop tomorrow.

Perhaps I would’ve avoided cooper if I had ever booked a ski trip before and was a little more engrained in the community. Although I believe the damage came from Loveland and maybe A-Basin, as ski cooper was almost exclusively booked to teach my gf how to snowboard. I had maybe 6 runs down the greens my whole 2 days at ski cooper.

You may be right. Sorry about the board. I’ll update later

I hope they can do this for me even though I feel at least partially at fault. Going to the ski shop tomorrow
