We just got back, Adam is driving back to PA as we speak. We went to Mt. Snow on Saturday and Okemo on Sunday.

Mt. Snow had 7 rails and Okemo had 6, at both places the rails were pretty small. Also both mountains didn't anywhere near the entire mtn open yet we had an awesome time none the less. Adam was killing everything as usual and with Adam's coaching Mike Ponessa and Ron Buckner stepped up their park riding to a new level. (I even couldn't stay away from the small rails. I put the camera down, came out of retirement and hit a few, it wasn't pretty but I finally got 'em the next day at Okemo)

I rode the Adam Lynam Pro's again but this time with a fresh hot wax and Bomber Elite bindings and let me tell you it was heaven. Two weeks ago at Jiminy Peak the conditions were horrible and I still enjoyed the ALP's but at Mt Snow on Saturday it was blue bird and they were making snow all over so I was really able to open up the ALP's and MY GOD!!! They allow me to go so much faster than I can on 99's. On 99's when I reach a certain top speed it gets really sketchy but with the 110's it was business as usual and the rest of the guys on 99's were having a much harder time keeping up with me (usually they are either just front of me or right behind me, depending on how my legs are feeling) I've found my new setup for sure: ALP's with Bomber Elite's.......thanks again Seth!


pic attached, more pics and vids from the weekend on the way.

i guess i oughta post a review from my eyes on my boards too huh...

guys... if anyone of you has ever gone from 90cm boards to 99cm boards and felt the amazing difference in stability when riding at high speeds, hitting jumps, and grinding rails... you will be blown away by the 110's. it took one run (although it was the first of the season for me) to get used to them and then for the rest of the weekend it was on... these boards are absolutely, without question the best skiboards i have ever ridden period. i remeber when i had the 89 cm dynastar twin boards back in the day... and then went to mt snow after i got my 99 cm MN pros. the difference was absouletly amazing... i hit the 60 ft gap that was in the x games on inferno, a week after the x games were held, with no problems whatsoever.. now as i go from 99cm to 110... i start thinking about the possibilities of what can be done on skiboards... going bigger faster and higher. i havent had a chance to ride them in powder... but i can tell you that i have no doubts the will preform better than any other true skiboard on the market. overall, if you have any doubts about the length of the boards, or if the extra 11 cms scares you, dont worry my friends, you will not have any trouble adjusting, and if anything they will make your riding step up a notch or six. just ask greco, the guru of all that is skiboarding, and he will tell you the same thing!!!!

good luck with your mix boards and think snow!!!!!

Thanks
