^^^ I concur the T1 is a great parkboard. Lots of pop and retains its toughness, its good for jibs and butters. I find it a little slower than others, stability isnt the best and carving is a little harder due to it weighing a little bit more than a kink or agent. Id keep it in the park more than mountain. Over all awesome board!

I need to find a good set of boots, I've gone through 3 and all of them wind up ruining my days. I want to be able to go non-stop (or mostly non-stop) from open to close. (9 to 4 at most resorts here) But I wind up either having to take super long breaks to stretch my feet out, finally got a board and bindings that work well with me (I think...) but I need a damn good pair of boots.
Since we're on the topic. Mens boots for boys with narrow girlie feet!?

Had same issue until I bought my Solomon boots (Milosport carries that brand in SLC). My wife had similar boot issues with a few different brands and ended up with Northwave boots. Every other brand I have tried kills my feet (arches cramp up) and I cant tighten them enough around my ankles. Another trick is buy them small enough that your toe is touching the tip inside the boot but not hurting your toes... boots "pack out" meaning get a little looser with time as they break in, so make sure they are super snug and tight and that your your toes comfortably touch.

I know, I hate it. That, combined with skiing for the first like 10 years of my mountain snow sports experience means that I have a hard time finding boots snug enough for me. I'm used to forcing my feet into a tightly packed boot and clamping it down. Mmmm snug comfy fit.

The problem is snug comfy fit but also flexibility. You could always go for downhill boarding boots. The extra stiff ones that are basically like ski boots. Of course then what is the point of not skiing?

^actually I mean downhill boarding. The guys that have straight tip boards and special bindings. They don't do any trickery, they just go ***** out down the mountain.
99.99% I never recommend skiing over boarding!

I don't know what deals Mt. Pilchuck in EVT have or Sturtevant's in Bellevue have since the season is about to start, but I usually hit them up at the end of the season.
