Hey there - been reading the forums for awhile and finally joined - mostly for the gear swap - I need some new stuff and had a kid last season so my budget is a bit cramped. basics - 45 year old life long skier who splits his life between Mammoth and LA during the winter. The last 4 years have sucked - this year is setting up nicely. 2 years ago - in a desperate bid to find powder - I did a western road trip chasing storms for a few weeks and while in Utah I made the mistake of skiing at Deer Valley (long story - old friend from east coast first time out west and he would not listen to me when I said Snowbird and Alta are all you need to try...) and my favorite boards ever got stolen. 2011 Moment Jaguar Sharks in a 184. I have come close to replacing them a few times - but after last season on my Bibby's among the rocks - and slush - I realized I vowed to replace them.
