Gotta Have Gadget

Now that you have the board and boots, you need some bindings to make the perfect combination.  The 2010 Burton Cartel GMP (Green Mountain Project) are just those bindings!  Burton has set the standard for freestyle bindings!  There is a reason pro snowboarders and amateur riders have made the Cartel one of the most popular choices for bindings.  New in 2010 is the FullBED baseplate padding which gives boarders reduces impact and better comfort and feel.  What I like about these bindings is the various adjustments I can make for a more comfortable and secure fit.  The GMP product line also features eco-friendly waterproof/breathable laminations and DWR coatings.  Burton is continuing down this path by adding boards, boots and bindings to the mix—giving snowboarders the option for a full head-to-toe environmentally-friendly setup.  The GMP project is also offering EcoStep outsole, EcoSmart™ mesh, and EcoSmart™ recycled mesh upper materials to select boot models and utilizing up to a 25% blend of re-ground production materials in select binding models.  The Burton GMP line incorporates over 62 products for this, the 2010 season.  For all the technical specs of the 2010 Burton Cartel bindings and more information on the Green Mountain Project visit Burton on-line at www.burton.com.

The best way to spend a day or week in the winter is up on a mountain snowboarding!  If you like free styling, glade running or all around boarding, Rome SDS has the right board for you!  The Rome Slash is the perfect board if you like to mix up your day and hit all the trails.  A triax laminate lets this board turn easily at slower speeds, but it’s still responsive off jumps and holds its edge when you’re moving fast.  A carbon reverse-v stringer in the nose and tail help with response too.  Rome’s signature impact edges are extra thick to prevent damage when hitting the rails or grazing a tree.  In addition, Rome uses proprietary impact plates below the bindings to make the board 2.5x stronger than traditional wood core boards.  I wish I could truly test out all those features; however I am just not that good on the slopes and really didn’t want to visit the local emergency room.  Thankfully my 15 year old son is that good, and could test out all the features.  To choose the best board for your riding style, visit Rome on-line at www.romesnowboards.com.
