New Snowboard


Picked up a new Burton Custom V Rocker 154 cm for the upcoming snowboarding season to replace my 2006 Burton Clash. The V-rocker system is similar to the Banana tech that Lib tech offers, but just a different name. It's supposed to help out with powder as it keeps the nose/tail up a bit more. Took it out to Lake Louise this past weekend with my buddy and it proved to be quite awesome. Much lighter and responsive than my old Clash board. I'll either give my old Clash board to my brother or just use it as a rock board.

To add to this post: The 09/10 snowboarding season is starting off incredibly well. All the mountains around us have been receiving record snow falls and some have been open since early October! Sunshine had a 100+ cm base in mid November! These are definitely Base numbers I don't expect until January. When I was at Lake Louise last weekend the base was 90+cm, which was more then when I went last year at Christmas time! I hope this keeps up for the rest of the season!
