Shit I didn’t see that you grabbed one, If it doesn’t work out I know of a home for it
Decided to go ahead and sell it. Most likely would have anyway, but our winter just isn't happening… and then I bought a new split
It's on snowboard trader for 340, but I would sell it to someone on EL for what I paid ($300) + shipping. USPS ground is looking like $30 if you can wait, or it's $45–65 for priority depending on location. Of course no pressure, but you get first crack at it since you posted this
It has a few purely cosmetic things, but no damage, unless you count this inconsequential base doink (which I only noticed yesterday when waxing). It's a light dent in the base material, but not a scratch or cut

Uh... sorry about your season. Is that a common occurrence at Eagle Crest? I've been to Juneau quite a few times for work (my last gig, don't get there anymore), but I've never been able to ride there.

Not at all, but it's happened a couple times in my life. Still plenty of time to recover.
It's only the lower half that has no snow, so we can't operate.. the base is below 1200ft. I haven't been feeling motivated to hike to the snow line, but the new split will probably help.

Day 13 on the season. I’m just loving the JL 160w so much. Easily the dd alongside the Pencil 164; at least one of them will always come to the hill. The Short Wide is insanely fun and I haven’t even touched powder with it, yet.
Yay for skulls

So got a new first version of the 55 BC, and I like it. Nice replacement for my Greenest that has had a few accidents, also faster base and no excessive drag on front foot from the mag. Had a Jones Mercury on it, but that feels like overkill and I might give that away. Nitro Carver seems better for the heavier boards anyways. Thinking Burton Genemissionvita will fit nicely.

Thanks Yukon. I’ve been on a bunch of other boards this season as well, but the Korua & Mervin setups have been bringing the vast majority of stoke.

i am still getting familiar with the BC but it absolutely charges and has wonderful pop. really reminds me of the mullairs.
what is a comp for the JL boards? i've never been on one but highly interested
i rode my TF this past weekend when i was aiming to not leave the ground much and just focus on turning, and was instantly reminded why i bought this deck in the first place.

So.. gotta backtrack a little here. On hard conditions, that maggytrack is throwing off light turns some, gotta counterbalance to not go into a skid. I guess there's a place for bumps, and carving isn't it.

How tall/heavy are you on that short wide?

5’7/205. I’m literally short/wide. In deeper snow I do prefer full-length boards over volume shifted models, but the SW is fun to throw around.
