#1 on my list, SNOW! Per the clifdens, I have 3 pairs but they NEED to get a low light lens for below tree line. I’d love to see a persimmon or high-pink for better low-light visibility.
I remember Croakies! When I was a kid, I learned to ski at Squaw Valley (now called Palisades) and I used to rock them. I completely forgot about them. I'd totally use them again.
mod 1 pro helmet...even better! Ear cups instead of ear pads. Best thing ever. Don't put pressure on your ears leading to mega ear pain after hours of use (if you have that problem). Definitely worth the extra $$ over the Mod 1.
Croakies I still use em in the summer! I Ride 28.4 at the waist on Never Summer's. I use risers from OJK for up to low 27's at the waist. 32 liners are best in the business.
Cool to see those approach skis. I like my split but could be nice for say a Japan trip where you don’t want to lug two setups but also maybe have snowshoe PTSD like me..
Thx again for another great episode, always love the great product reviews and your great insights. Cant wait for the boot epidose, bring on the Nerd. Love the technicals.
Hello Tribute brothers. Can you guys do show on how to carve better. How to use edge better in carving in steep hard pack and steep powder snow runs. Have hella rad season. ✨️ 🎉
Have you guys had the chance to ride the new Rome Katanas with the new auxtech ankle strap? I just got a pair and I have to say, the contour from this binding is very comfortable yet responsive for an asym.
Hi, what would you reccomend for a “Yes Dicey 2020-2021” New Force, Ultra or Strata. I am mainly riding on groomed slopes and my level is beginner-intermediate. I am 5.41 ft and 240 lbs, and I am not sure if mini disc or full disc bindings are more suitable for me. I will highly appreciate your help.
Hey fellas! Thanks for the great ongoing content. Not really related to this video, but are you done carrying Cardiff? I just bought a Crane from you, and noticed there aren't any more models in your line up. I'm pretty pumped on how it feels so far, and it's freaking gorgeous. Were they not popular? If so, that's too bad considering a Burton HTH is the same price. They aren't easy to find in Canada. Anyways, let's hope the snow falls bigtime soon. Happy New Year boys!
Been looking at the Freecarver, the 6 because of my lines at my local resort, but have been questioning it's ride in pow. Most reviews I've seen have suggested it may not ride well off piste. If someone can confirm it's powability, the Freecarver would most likely move to the top of my list.
Its not a powboard but probably handles pow better then a full camber twin whit its longer nose then tail. 6 got more rocker then the 9. Seen some video of it in pow no problem but seen park guys whit park twins in pow to. Theres better boards out there for pow that carves but it will do the job.
Got the 9 in december and loving it! I have it in 159 and if you monut the bindings all the way back, it has decent float. I’ve only had it out one pow day, but it fares well. It’s no mach for my proper pow board, but on par with most all mountain boards I’d say.
Whoa those drift micro split skies look really cool and hopefully practical. Would love to know how long they are predicted to last for and how the straps hold up with different boot shapes. Definitely proffer my regular snowboard compared to my split-board.
Wow! Have you looked into a proper sized boot to try and get the foot print size down. First place to start. 99% of resort riders are riding in boots 2-3 sometimes 4 half’s sizes too big. This is the advice we have been given for 30!years and it’s wrong. Snowboard boot size is your foot size not your shoe size. Check out wiredsport channel for info on boot sizing. Happy carving
27.2 will Handle any boot size unless your angles are very low - Proper binding set up is also key : check our Epi on Stance angles and watch for our Boot Choices & Set up episode coming in a few weeks - 30+ years boot fitting has taught us a thing on two 😉
@@tributeboardshop looking forward to that episode. I’m sure you legends will do the boot Epi justice and put all these “true to size” and a half size bigger weekend warriors in their place. 💪 as a 54year old who has been riding since 1992 and did his first season in hard boots +45, +45, you guys rock!!! Love the content. Thanks for the hard work.
I’m there now. Ok up top, some pow today, but still pretty rocky. Mix of sketchy and spring snow at top of lifts from village. Below that it’s slush to mid-station and grass/mud from mid-station to village. No home runs.
Surprised to hear that !- the Kootenay Riding terrain seems to really test gear and we do not see these breaking down faster than any other brand 🤷♂️ Confident they are very well made …..

@@Alpha-soixante I have mine from 1987 Truckee Donner ski ranch. I learn to shred. bought croakies from REI in Berkeley cal. Hella good days.
@@moromoro538 yes, very good times.

great review, as always!

Tried the Union Force and they do not compare in comfort or responsiveness to Katanas with the Aux tech and asym wrap.

“The good ride” has a more detailed review of the drift boards
Bummer it's only 27.2 at the waist. My everyday board is 29.2 and I get foot drag easily both sides. My Donek is 31.0 and I don't.

No sz 14 lodge slippers 😢
How bad is the snow in Whistler?
Didn't they just get some?
I’m there now. Ok up top, some pow today, but still pretty rocky. Mix of sketchy and spring snow at top of lifts from village. Below that it’s slush to mid-station and grass/mud from mid-station to village. No home runs.
How's the durability on 32 boots? I heard from several friends/People that they tend to die pretty quick..
Surprised to hear that !- the Kootenay Riding terrain seems to really test gear and we do not see these breaking down faster than any other brand 🤷♂️ Confident they are very well made …..
I'll try them out for sure! If you guys say that who am I do disagree!
Crockies are still around, you can get Them at many outdoors stores and sportsman's warehouse
I dislike magnets.
The last thing I want to do after being rattled from a hard slam is look for my goggle lens.
Mod 1 and electric eg2 goggles don't work together.
Good to know , thats one of the few brands we have not tried with it
