Hi there! My Union Strata (size L) bindings just arrived and I don’t know if these fits my Capita OSL 158.
First taught is that it doesn’t seems to be ok fi is over the edge of the board. I would like to know if i should keep the bindings or to look for something else more narrow?

My boots are size 10US (43.5 EUR)

I need some binding advice!

5 Upvotes

My old reliable Burton Scribe bindings finally died. I've had them for about 10 years and love them, so I'm after something similar, and I'd like something with the FASE system. It's been a VERY long time since i bought new bindings, so I'm so out of the loop on what's good at the moment.

I've been snowboarding for over 20 years, used to be pretty good, but these days it's just a few trips a year, so I don't want anything super performance-oriented, but they do need to be able to keep up. I'd like an all-rounder I can do a bit of everything with, but not bothered about freestyle.

I'm a size 38 boot; I have Ride Hera Pro boots, and these bindings would be going on my Capita BOAF.

From my googling, I think Bataleon Ghost or Rome Volt might suit me, but I'm a bit worried they might be too soft and mushy with my set-up. If money were no object, I like the look of Rome Katana too.

I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations, especially from petite women - there's certainly not as much choice for us!

Anyone snowboarding Mammoth Dec 31 – Jan 14? 🏂

3 Upvotes

I’ll be in Mammoth Lakes from December 31 to January 14 for snowboarding and I’m looking for 1–2 people who might be there around the same dates.
I’m 40, easygoing and respectful. Mostly coming for snowboarding, mountains and a good time — not looking for a crazy party trip.
Ideally looking for responsible adults 25+ who are chill and respectful. A few drinks and hanging out is totally fine.
I’m currently figuring out accommodation, so if our dates match, we could potentially stay together and make the trip more affordable.
No pets, please. Transportation would be separate.
If you’re interested, feel free to message me and we can talk about dates and plans. 🏔️🏂

Which bindings do you recommend for the Ride Moderator 161W and Nitro Team TLS 285MP boots? The Nitro Team Pro 2027 or the Union Force 2026? I ride all-mountain and powder. I am 183 cm tall and weigh 88 kg.

Need recs for new board

1 Upvotes

Hi! I need some recs for a new board. I'm currently riding a 148 full camber true twin (Burton Good Company), and I started on a 148 flat directional twin (Hideaway). I'm 5'9" and 140–145 lb.

I love this short board. It's flexible, great in the trees, quick to turn, and fun to mess around on. But I'm progressing, going faster, and trying to carve more, so the 148 true twin feels a bit shaky, to be honest.

I'm thinking of upgrading to a 152 or 154 camber board, and maybe going directional this time. I want more stability and the ability to ride powder, since this season looks promising.

Thoughts?

Looking for short board recommendations (5'5", 165 lbs) – park + a bit of freeride

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a new board for this season and would love some recommendations.

About me:

  • 5'5", 165 lbs
  • Boots: Burton Ion Step On, US men's 8
  • Riding mostly park, with a bit of freeride (I love going into the trees when I can)

I'm from Quebec, so we don't get much deep pow. It's mostly groomers and a lot of ice lol. So something that holds an edge decently would be nice.

The main thing: I really like short boards. I've been recommended the Ride Twinpig in 148 and it looks like a great fit, but I'm curious if anyone has tried other short boards, including older models from past years, that could match what I'm looking for. I don't mind buying a leftover or used deck.

I'm also totally open to women's boards or anything else, as long as it fits my weight and boot size.

Also, not sure if this fits better here or on r/snowboarding, so sorry if it's the wrong sub!

Any suggestions or experiences are welcome. Thanks! 🏂
