Gnu Race Room, Prior 4WD 165 - retired
'94 Burton Asym Air 164/Burton Race Plates - rock board/backup
'01 Rad-Air Tanker 200/Proflex RS plates - powder/big mountain gun
'05 Coiler AM 172/F2 Titanflex plates - main ride esp bumps/groomed

Don't actually have the Coiler in my grubby little paws quite yet...

162 Prior MFR - General resort days (wish it was bigger)
164 Rad-Air Reto LSD - Aggressive Freeride (new, can't wait to take it
out)
170 Oxygen Shogun - Powder (seen a few avazing days this season)
168 Burton Speed - All Mtn Carving
171 Donek FCII - Hero Carving (this one scares me!)
177 Coiler All Mtn - All Mtn Carving (my favorite)
166 Voile Split - Backcountry

I'm riding almost purely hardboots these days. Lowa Struktura AT Ski
Boots (way soft!) + Burton RacePlates for freeriding/powder days.
Raichle 123 + Bomber TD2 Stepins for carving days.

I ride the fish pretty much all the time. Guess I need to force
myself to use the Code some more and try and get used to it. Thing
is, almost all my riding nowadays is either inbounds powder (if it's
ther) or back country or heli.

'01 Liquid Man 164 / No Bindings - Spring/Rock Board, loaner
Nice and wide, floats in powder but stiff for my liking
'01 Neversummer T5 168 / Flow F5 Bindings - All around mountain
Great board, not quite wide enough to float me, but got it used and
bottom is very torn up
'04 Prior Khyber 165 / Burton Torque Bindings - Powder/Tree Board
Brand new
'05 Neversummer Titan 169 / Catek Freeride Pro - All around mountian
Brand new, very nice looking setup

Used to ride the Liquid and the Old NS with the flows and a very old set of
Airwalk soft boots, however both the flows and the airwalks were lacking in
forward ankle support. Now ride airwalks with Burton Torques since they
have better support (3 strap system), and bought a '03 set of Nidecker soft
boots to ride in Flows and Cateks.

Unfortunately I just left the Tahoe area (Kirkwood) on the 1st of Jan as the
1st storm was clearing, and Switzerland where I live now has no snow yet.
So the Khyber and the Titan will have to wait for snow.

Burton Canyon 162 - awaiting repair or retirement
Donek Sasquatch 162 - old one - everything[1]
Donek Sasquatch 162 - new one - everything[1]
Prior Pow 181 Wide - Powder[2]

[1] By everything I mean: powder inbounds and backcountry, cruising the
inbound trails, some carving of sorts, a few runs in the park.

[2] Except in tight trees, it's just too big. Although it carves very
well indeed and has nice pop in the tail
