Re: General snow stuff
So I actually started doing this today, but just with a hacksaw.
It's a very wide board so I'm not worried about losing a bit with the dodgy cutting.
Going to try and do it on the cheap, using part of the Voile DIY kit.
It'll be heavy and ugly but will give me an introduction.
I anticipate multiple fuckups and additions to the Blokey thread.

Re: General snow stuff
The hacksaw was just to get through the metal rails.
I spent most of my time building an MDF template that bolts into the existing bindings to keep the cut straight.
Might get one of those pull saws.

After further consideration of a number of factors I've abandoned the DIY splitboard project and turned it into a snurfer instead.
Been scoping out lines in local parks.

My splitboard arrived today.
Man I'm glad I didn't keep trying to DIY.
Unfortunately my sofa is quite tasteful so I took the shots on the crappy carpet.

Never heard of a split board before.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Re: General snow stuff
Yeah, and walk out of flat areas back to the lift, or the car.
I've done a lot of postholing and swimming through powder.
