Cruising Brighton on the new Bataleon Blaster Pro FASE!

Looking for snowboard travel bag recommendations for two boards (bindings left on), boots, outwear, accessories, etc.

G'day legends, I've been travelling with two boards and all gear for quite sometime and I'm extremely efficient at packing.. even squeezing in additional family members outwear!

Two boards stacked, boots down bottom, outwear in middle, helmet/goggles/accessories up top & back pack laid over the centre.

However, I get sick of - and lazy when it comes to changing/switching bindings over to the other board and then spend the majority of my trips on 1 setup and if I change it, then spend the remainder on that.

I'm about to purchase a second set of bindings, I know its not the end of the world putting on and taking off the second set while leaving the other bindings permanently on the other board... which makes stacking the board easier.

But id love recommendations on a travel board bag where I can leave both bindings on both boards and hopefully still fit my boots, outwear, helmet, bag and accessories.

Cheers!

CAPiTA Pathfinder 157 vs 157W - need advice for my setup

Hi everyone, I need some advice choosing between the CAPiTA Pathfinder 157 and 157W.

My specs:

• Height: 1.73 m (5'8")
• Weight: 89 kg (196 lbs)

I’m planning to buy

• Boots: Vans Hi-Standard OG size: BR 42 (US 10.5)
• Binding: Nidecker Supermatic LT

I consider myself a beginner/intermediate beginner. I have only around 20 days of snowboarding experience total (from 3 different trips). I mostly ride recreationally at resorts and I’m still improving my basics.

I found both boards, but the weird thing is that the Pathfinder 157W is almost $90 cheaper than the 157 where I’m looking.

My question is: would you choose the 157W because of my US 10.5 boot size, or would the regular 157 be better for my weight and riding level?

This is the setup I’m planning to buy. Do you think the Wide version (157W) will make a big difference compared to the regular 157 for my skill level?

I would really appreciate your advice. I’m still a beginner and I want to make the right choice before buying.

Here are some specs about me:
5’9
150 lb
9.5 boot
153-156 cm
Intermediate rider (one season, but rode a lot 2 times a week for basically the whole season)
Had an arbor foundation that I rented(rocker profile) really liked the board but could feel I outgrew it
100% resort riding
Mostly all-mountain and some park
50% groomers/carving
30% park
10% side hits
10% jumps
Occasional trees
Little to no powder (on the east coast)
I really want a one quiver board something I can do anything with
Likes carving and riding fast
Loves side hits and natural features
Wants to improve on jumps, boxes, and eventually rails
Wants a board that won’t hold you back for years
Prefers a camber-dominant hybrid I want to do something like this before I go full camber

Please give me any insights on which board I should choose or any experience with each board.

I know they got a massive dump of snow, but from the vids and images looks like very heavy almost hard pack powder, relatively speaking. Is anyone down there that can confirm the snow quality? Compared to the good stuff in Colorado or Utah for example?

Edit: does this look a bit “chunky”

Sorry if this counts as App Developer!
I just wanted to share a really awesome project I am working on to see if it can start to find its community! Inspired by the precise mechanics of retro games, rather than implementing heavy physics solvers and high cinematic shaders, my goal is to strip snowboarding down to its most minimally necessary computation to have near frame-perfect input latency on absolutely minimal hardware for fingerboard-esque skill progression and satisfaction but for snowboarding.
That said, the physics engine is still putting in work. A good deal of very carefully chosen math lets it skip most of the heft of traditional physics solvers. What you see could run at least 60 FPS on almost anything, even hardware from 10 years ago, and is responsive enough that you might gain a new passion for input latency - this is live in-engine recorded gameplay of myself. There are also tons of terrain parameters to enable most kinds of realistic snowboarding on infinitely procedurally generated terrain (unfortunately the 1000ft 1080 triple backflip kind of snowboarding will not be available)

Feel free to reach out if you would like to be involved in playtesting whenever that happens! I would love for active snowboarders to be able to give feedback on the physics.

For all those interested in an extremely precisely engineered rectangle.

Edit: Due to popular demand, catching an edge will now crash the game
