New Board

I thought my coach was crazy when he told me that I would be riding and racing on a 162 cm board this season. We measured my height when I was at my fitness test in November and I'm only 162.5 cm tall! Regardless, we went up to Sun Peaks and I was to ride this new board. I loved the board, it had all the qualities of a raceboard that I love but it was for softboots! It didn't take me long before I felt completely comfortable moving this monster of a board around. Sun Peaks was beautiful that day too. Clear skies, maybe a little bit of cloud... groomed to perfection as always and barely anyone at the hill. It gave me a chance to bomb down the 5 mile with coach inches behind me to work on riding and not being distracted by other racers that are potentially right behind you. Normally I don't like riding near other people, especially when you start going faster. However, it is part of the sport and something that I do need to work on it. Hopefully I'll have some photos to post of it soon. 162cm Volkl Coal
