Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Walloped a rock that was sneakily hiding in the powder last week. Initial concerns were about me but now I am on the mend I noticed the mess the board was in.

The photo is a closeup of the edge that took the impact, its kind of warped and the sidewall is cracked. The topsheet has a nice crazy paving pattern (photo didn't come out) spreading out from the impact zone.

Surprisingly enough the base has some minor scrapes on it and not even a coreshot.

I think the crack is quite deep into the board as its kind of gained a bit of extra flex!

So, safe to ride or repairable? I know theres only a description and photo to go on.

Thanks.

it's dead. It may last a while but one heavy landing or high speed turn and it could let go.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

prog99, 'gree with stab, its back's broken if it's got a fracture pattern across the topsheet. Sorry for the bad news Sad

Thanks, off to go shopping Very Happy

Since I was stuck on easy groomed runs for the rest of the week breaking the board on a landing was never going to happen.

Swirly, you've evidently not seen the mess that is my board! Even before the accident it was covered in scrapes from lift queues.
I don't think its even worth of decorating the walls of my shed.
