I just did a google search for Alison Nordst Design of Alpine Skis and couldn't find much 4 search pages in.

Yes, they are badass. Now just to find some huge reasonably prices maple veneers!

Hudson Bay ended up dumping for the 2 days I was up there. Lots of exposure still but who can argue with face shots all day in the trees?

Hope you got some of that great weather in Terrace.

Happy holidays!

Edit

That should have read,

" These short videos are great"

Anyone checked them out yet? How about the Powder jet boards, has you seen them in real life or ridden them yet?

Not sure if this is a re-post of not, but I thought the crew of board builders on here would enjoy them.

MY tips are 2mm thick to match up with the 2mm tip spacers I use. The centers are 6.5mm using a combination of a linear into progressive core tampering down to the 2mm. Seems to be just the right flex for me. (22oz glass)

The bottles were warm to the touch but i dont know what the exact temp was. Results: it was easier to spread and wet out the glass, also started to setup alot faster...

Entropy Bio Resins!

So i have been using Entorpy's Bio Resin in my last few boards and I am a complete convert. I dont think i will ever use epoxy again. The boards all came out sweet and the oldest one with almost a whole season of riding on it held up amazingly well! Really their products are just a tiny bit more exp...

if progression and pushing my personal limits in snowboarding by trying harder tricks and bigger lines is considered doing something wrong, then i don't want to be right. haha, i love that shit, thats what its all about for me! big jumps and handrails test a boards limits.

when your building large numbers of products weird things will like that will happen. .. You're admiring a dipshit. There are a lot of people on here that have a hell of a lot more talent and understanding than this dumbass. Being an idiot isn't a weird thing that will happen. This guy doesn't know...
