Love this thread.
I had an idea in the same vein as PTTR's short skis for having fun on low-angle aspects and less-than-great days: A super-short snowboard that would be basically a snowskate with bindings.
I'm thinking something along the lines of a 110cm with a fat waist - just enough length to have a small nose and tail outside the bindings, to have fun on little sidehits or beginner parks when it hasn't snowed in a while and bombing groomers is getting old. It wouldn't need even edges - it might be more fun without!
Additional features could be a spooned/3D base like Bataleon boards, or a reverse side cut (shaped like a Lucero Black Label skateboard) for some fun in powder pockets.
What do you guys think? Has anybody built something similar?
