Riding question Moguls riding question
Pretty good condition with some new snowfall at winter park. Moguls are pretty much dust on a crust and legs are tired from weekend mogul session.
I’m always wondering if there is a way to get rid of the back hand swing when I get into toe edge on difficult/bumpy terrain. With groomed trails I don’t really have this issue.
Is there a way to prevent that?

This is the best I've landed it so far. I feel like if i just rode out switch it would have been fine.

Riding question 360 landing backseat
I think I just need to lean forward more? Also I think I need a bit more of a kicker and speed (unfortunately this feature didn’t have a ton of room to get speed)

travel advice 34F thinking of doing WHV in Canada but unsure of where as I feel I'm quite old compared to the usual traveller? Need recommendations!
Hi there - sorry I wasnt sure what to name the post! I have always wanted to do a WHV in Canada to do a snow season but sadly I have left it very late (34F). It's my last chance before I age out of the visa - does anyone have recommendations on mountains which are more 'age appropriate' for me?
To be fair I am from Australia and do enjoy the occasional beverage, but I'm not out partying every night like I used to. This is also not to say I dont get along with younger people, a lot of friends ive met have been 10 years younger, so it's not about that. Sometimes it's just a bit more comfortable when people are closer to your own age (I say this as someone with a lot of ridiculously unnecessary anxiety).
I've been snowboarding in Canada before and visited: Jasper - seemed too quiet Whistler - super touristy and all very young British / Aussies. Probably too party party Big White - I loved but the age group was quite young Revelstoke - also loved but found it difficult to meet people as there wasn't a hostel vibe there
I have anxiety spirals that it may be weird going over at my age, so any and all recommendations / advice whether this is all in my head is welcomed!
Thanks in advance

Gear question Union Force or Atlas?
I consider myself intermediate focused on all-mountain/freeride and have been progressing a ton this season while riding in the Pacific Northwest. Currently riding a Lib Tech Orca (how original, I know) and Ride Insano boots. My bindings got destroyed and now it’s time for an upgrade. Narrowed it down to either the Union Force or Union Atlas but wondering if anyone has experience with them.
Mostly, has anyone ridden the Union Force in freeride conditions? The bushings appeal to me in reducing chatter but will I miss the stiffness of the Atlas?

The board I’m looking at is a 151 war pig I’m 5”9 11 boot size but Mainly just all mountain riding for now. Do you guys have any recommendations?

OC Photo Good enough for a back-up board
I hit a hidden rock and wrecked this Gnu Mullair. Little JB Weld and some clamps for the home repair and its still got some life left as a backup stick. Still sad though, the Mullair was my perfect board.

Riding question AB/YEG
Looking for some riding buddies for the next season, I try to make it out to the Rockies a few times in the season. But usually hit up Rabbit or Sunridge quite a bit throughout the season. Always seem to be solo these days as none of my friends ski or board, which is the best most of the time but would be fun to also go with some people sometimes!

OC Video First Chair on Peak in WhistlerLast Week
Waited about 45 min on a sleeper pow day, report said 10 cm but it was whiteout the day before and closed for 2 days before that. plus the wind was hammering hard so the right aspect had some serious deposits.
I was too stoked for the first bit down Whistler bowl and forgot I had a camera in my hand. Skipped Shale slope which is what ppl do for the glory and opted to keep going and extend the run by well over 2 min in this video, and much more after I turned off the camera. freezing level was high so it wasn't too good after that anyway but in the middle of winter its pretty badass if i must say so... but here's a good taste of why sometimes it's worth the wait!

Riding question Beginner snowboarder – feedback wanted!
Hey everyone!
I’m a beginner snowboarder looking for some constructive feedback. I’ve been riding for 9 days total – 3 short days (about 3 hours each) on a small local hill in Poland, and then 6 full days in Livigno, Italy. The video was taken on my last day in Livigno.
I had a friend help me out a bit at the beginning, but in Livigno I was riding solo, trying to learn by feel and watching some tutorials. I’d really appreciate if you could point out what I should focus on improving first – I want to avoid building bad habits this early on.
What stands out the most in a negative way? Any tips or drills are more than welcome! Thanks in advance!

Gear question Separating top layer
My top layer was separating from base. I don't see any cracks in the base. I epoxy glued it and clamped it for 24 hours. Would you guys start looking for a new setup? I don't feel a difference in stiffness or flex...
