DEEP Pow Board (venture)

[skitttles4life]

Hey Guys so I am going to Monashee for 4 days around christmas and I hear it Dumps there around that time. I have been looking at a split board for awhile and the Venture Storm split looks pretty good. I am 5'4" without shoes 110lbs and a size 9 shoe. Do you recommend a 152? I know it might be alittle long but I think I could manage what do you think?

I wouldn't be looking for a dedicated deep pow board for a 4 day trip. There's a good chance you won't experience a truly deep day in that short of a time period.

Get a size that you'd want to use on a regular basis.

Yeah, 152, sure, if they make that, it will ride/feel a bit longer with their rocker design. They have different widths for every size. With all that nose, you can do a more normal width for your shoe size/weight.

you are really light, so you can get away with a lot with pow boards. The storm has taper too, so even more tail sinkage. Depends on your ridding style for preference.

Sorry for the confusion on that, I am going to use this for when where I board gets alot of powder. The Trip was just another reason to get it.

If you really want a dedicated board for DEEP days I would see if you can still find a Euphoria R. I have one and that is the most unsinkable board I have ever ridden. It blows my solid Smokin Pinner right out of the running. I will often rock my split instead of my solid pow board even for resort powder days.

It always makes me laugh when I see people just doing chair lift laps with their split. I don't know why it is humorous to me but it is.

If your split likes the DEEP better than your solid board I say why not use it. Also what if you feel like adventuring side country a little bit. It sure is nice to be able to go off and then skin your way back to the chair lift.

Sooo are you terminally little or ru still growing?

Yea I am talking about the guy who just laps the chair left and just rocking his split. I shared a lift with a guy who said riding his split in bounds makes him looker cooler. I was like ummm alright whatever dude. I am all for taking my split to the resort if I am using it for a slackcountry mission. If I am just lapping chairs or can boot pack where I am going I take my solid with me.

Yeah, kind of funny, but a split would still be very useful for inbounds hiking on deep days. I don't mind hiking well established boot packs inbounds most days, but on a deep day, say hiking The Ridge at Love land heading lift right? Yeah, a split would definitely come in handy. There's some lines way back there that only see a few tracks even on a busy pow day.
