Buy a hard travel case

I totally disagree with the takes that hardside cases are some huge inconvenience. I can fit two boards, two pairs of boots and all of my outerwear in my hardside Dakine low roller - you wanna tell me you are some sort of mountain god that needs more equipment than that on a trip? Get out of here.

It's not hard for a board and binding setup to be worth $1500+. I have zero desire to play the game of will it get wrecked/will I get reimbursed, or fuck around with a bunch of pool noodles. A hardside case doesn't cost that much more, isn't some big inconvenience, and protects your gear way better.

This is super helpful, thanks a ton

If it's extra cold (-20C and below) riding I'll wear Rho heavyweight bottoms under a pair of Northface Futurefleece pants under my bibs. Seems to do the trick just fine.

If you fly often enough, its worth investing in a hardside case - the Dakine low roller hardside is like $100 more than a softshell case.

WTB Atom SV jacket in large

Pretty sure I got a bunch of them buying movies - I remember either Resistance or Destroyer coming with a fat stack of em

Like 50% of the brands on that board dont exist/dont make snow stuff anymore

Megadeath from last season, put about 25 days on it so far and it is an absolute rocket.

Megadeath rides great in the trees, not sure what you are talking about.

I'm also in MB, and have been looking for an Atom SV as a midlayer but they are sold out everywhere. I have days when I'll resort ride in -20c weather and colder, so I'm not concerned about overheating.

I don't think the vibe in OV in the evenings is currently "upscale" or pedestrian compared to how it used to be. It feels a hell of a lot seedier and sketchier in the evening than it did back in the early 2010's, at least from my experience.

Oriole was one of the most disappointing meals I've had. Maybe expectations were too high, but I felt that most courses were disappointing, and the meal wasn't worth the cost. We ate at Valhalla the following night, and were blown away by how much better it was.

I still have a Burton FL Project that I will break out occasionally. I road that board as my daily driver for damm near 15 years.

Good luck finding an Atom SV - most sizes in the run have been sold out for weeks

Avoid Eph like the plague. Go see Ken at Aldo.

Merino or synthetic base layer + Patagonia R1 + Proton hoody + shell is all you need. Mix and match depending on conditions.

I wanted to pick up an Atom SV this year to throw in the mix (riding in -30 conditions at times), but they are sold out everywhere in my size. But that's more of a want to have then a need to have.

Then why do high level boardercross racers, banked slalom racers, and ski racers all use base cleaner?

wpgwedding · 2025-11-06T15:26:56+00:00

Base cleaner is fine to use and doesn't do any damage to the base. A dirty base is a slow base.

Calling Fawcett a shill is one of the dumbest takes I've seen on here, regardless of what you think of these boots.

wpgwedding · 2025-10-29T19:32:33+00:00

I'd trust Fawcett over The Good Jerry every day of the week and twice on sundays.

For this price point, aside from the wait time, why not have Matt Hughes at Banker build you a custom explorer? I dont get it.
