@pow_hnd Here's a photo I took of a photo in the lodge, there's some super easily accessible terrain just bootpacking up above the ski area. The other pic is one I took from the t-bar looking left, so NW of the area boundary. Can't tell from my pic but there were tracks visible on some of the more obvious/open areas. I looked at a topo map they sell with the popular ascent and descent routes, there's a lot of terrain up there.

Looks like original bindings, how are they still holding together?

One toe strap and one ankle is still working, but the rest was pieced together. Otherwise they still seem pretty solid!

Montana trip video. Longer than my usual, but goes pretty quick. Did most of the filming and don't have many clips of myself, just some carving stuff in the first section.

Trip was rad. Awesome seeing Phil's hometown stomping grounds where he grew up, and riding his local spot. Turner is the real deal. Schweitzer is also a rad mountain… would love to get back again.

As alluded to on YT, totally enjoyed this one. Loved the editing style, and the SHE vibes as well (one hit your friend did using that Pillow-looking hit as a ledge to pop off of was sick! Just before 6 min mark). And your part was dope also, Spense. Nice little butter/gator roll at the end of the awesome turning segment. One of my fave edits of yours, for sure 👊🏻.

As also mentioned on YT, no Stranda action though?? 😋

Haha, I thought about bringing the cheater, but knew it wasn't really going to fit with what we were doing. Although, that first sunny day's groomers were calling for it. Didn't have the new shorty in time, but.. still not sure about that one anyway.

Stoked you like it! One of my favorites as well. Wanted to make a bit more of a trip video vs regular ol' edit. A visual memory for us.

A friend knew who it was, and apparently somebody set the board up for them who doesn't know what they're doing. She is a newer rider that now probably thinks snowboarding sucks 😜 I think help is on the way, though.

I had a friend who liked wide stances, and got the first Burton X8 160 when it came out in 08. Saw him riding one day, and his stance was unbelievable. I knew that he was completely maxed out, with regular disc bindings, so I measured on the same board at the shop later.. he was at 32"
