Hi all,
I just discovered that you exist, after being told by a shop 'expert'- guess not- to buy a great pair of Elan Expo. Now after doing some research (googling skiboards instead of 'snowblades'), I realized I bought sh#t gear!!!

The question I have is whether I can use my snowboard carving boot on skiboards. Should I set the boots stiff or soft in flex (those springs settings can easily be adjusted with an Allen key). I plan to mainly carve and a few minor jumps perhaps, mainly on ontario groomers.

Thanks for your help. No snow yet, but can't wait to try them out shitty as they are.

yeah fathom you should be able to use those boots no problem. even the boots we sell are snowboard hard boots.
you probably want to set the boots for softer but hey the fun is playing around with settings to find what's best for your riding style.

all the bindings we sell will work with your boots.

Goodbye snowblading....Welcome to Skiboarding!!!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks. Time to experiment once the snow comes. My boots were set up fairly soft for the purpose below, I just did not want to do any physical damage to my knees etc by having them too soft.
As for those of you who have snowboard hardboots already, you can expand your options (enjoy the movie, BIG download):
