 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm off to Tignes in January and only have a 2012 Forum Holy Moly as my one and only board. I've used it in Castleford a load and it's great there but I'm not sure how it'll be on the piste. It has a hybrid camber type thing going on but I've read a load of varying reports on how this board performs on pistes.
Will I be limited to certain parts of the resort and miss out on loads or will I be ok with this board? Should I think about hiring an all-mountain board whilst I'm out there?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

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

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

It's real advice. There's no material difference between Castleford and 'a piste', plus snowboards are basically all the same. Everything will be fine.

Willburt,
I am not rising to the bait. I thought this was a wind up, but having googled Forum Holy Moly i found this site, which says it is suitable for all mountain.

As a first post you haven't introduced yourself and at the moment there is a discussion on here re all mountain ski's and suitable width underfoot, hence why i thought you may be a spoofer 
Otherwise welcome

Ah cool  Thanks for the help. Yeah I kind of waded straight in without saying hello first so, hello all.
I'm really into the Holy Moly but I've read and heard a lot of people hating it. I think the turned up edges on the nose and tail ("Buttercup tech" in the marketing babble) freaks people out a little. It does mean that it is a little harder to dig the edges in on ice but I'm hoping for not too much of that ice stuff in Tignes at this time of year.

FAQ
One forum board peeled the forum logo out of the bottom of the board . . . they used to be laser cut and glued into the base as a separate piece of p-tex They did it for cheapness . . . don't worry, they're better now
