Mansfield
Where is Mansfield? @Sage954
I will be in Argentiere, Chamonix Valley on Sunday, the forecast is terrible 10 degrees average in town!!

Vermont USA. Highest peak in VT. It’s a 20 minute hike from the top of the Stowe gondola. The North East has gotten a lot of early snow. Not so much out west. I love Chamonix. Enjoy the trip. @Bridger

I’m mounting some pivot 15’s tomorrow. Skiing them Saturday.
Really cool company. Hand made in Michigan.

Very cool @Sage954
There seems to be a few smaller US ski makers popping up over the last few years, which is great to see.
What's the width of your new boards?

These are the Mohawks. 98 underfoot.
I wouldn't be riding these at Palisades Tahoe
98 seems like a relatively versatile size for the US. I have 84 and have wanted to go wider, but European off-piste snow isn't what it is in the US.
-
@Sage954 these look really nice and I’ve enjoy learning about the company. Thanks for sharing. Would love to hear how you like them once you’ve put them through some runs.
98 underfoot has been the sweet spot for me. Last year I skied some Salomon QST’s that I think were right there and enjoyed them.
Also, wondering what length you went with
-
@SKT
Agreed. 98 is versatile. I went with 186 length.
I’ll let you know what I think once I get some turns. -

@Twistlock looks awesome and I’m totally envious. Hope you and your family have a great time!

Looks epic @Sage954, I have always wanted to try Kirkwood.
Next time rock some IH bibs. I feel that's more appropriate for California.

@bridger Kirkwood is one of my favorites. Definitely give it a try. IH Bibs would need some leg vents. It’s almost 60 degrees here with the sun beating down.
