Actually, I think it's because it's a snowboard company subverting the skiers instead of skiers subverting snowboarding.

I stopped believing snowboarding had a core when Nike and adidas we're given such a hearty warm welcome after bailing numerous times before under the lame justification that they were comfey, and supporting pro boarders in lean times and they 'mean it' this time. Some folks would pepe le pew right back to them if they started up again.

Meanwhile an OG pioneer of snowboard boots like Northwave gets nose wrinkles from folks when they're making some of the best boots out there (imo).

i woult try (again) northwave boots if i could find them somewhere.

last pair i bought was 23 years ago and havent seen them since.

and just and fyi to all ya is i would wear wallmart boots if they fit me well i couldnt care less about the brand if i can get a good fitting boot.

I have two B backseats. They're amazing in deep-ish pow. IMO their ability to be ridden otherwise is dependent on (1.) The slope angle (do no think you're going to be able to really make an edge bite in a hardpack. They'll just spit out one way and you the other. Low angle you may be able to work with. and and (2.) Your ability to flop around on the ground like a fish out of water for fun. Because a decent amount of pow surfing is just sorta hanging on until that happens. It's a shitload of fun and long as you're in for the weirdness of it all.

you're better off with one of those snow skateboards, my bsd does not work great on hardback, even with the steel edges (k2 doesn't have them), the board has so much rocker it's basically one of those snow discs... each time I'm thinking 'this would be a dumb way to end my season'.

but when there is fresh snow, it's hella fun
