What time of year are you going? Do you have any experience going out of bounds? Do you have gear to go out of bounds, or would you need to be outfitted? What is your general level of fitness and snowboarding ability?
edit: sorry I didn't see this sooner, looks like you've been already.
Hilarious, I have the same set up but with Malavita's instead of Cartel's. You will love the board - it is unbelievable in nearly all conditions. Stable at high speeds, good pop for jumps and ollies and enough flex for jibs. It does get a little wobbly at slow speeds.
I got a Burton Nug to whip around for fun this season. Going to Park City on Saturday for a week - gonna be sweet.
I'll be spending next week in Angel Fire. Ready to get out the mountain. Angel Fire looks a bit small, but should be fun regardless. I go about once a year and really should just break down and purchase a board. Would save me rental money in the long haul
So far I have two days under my belt, both in So Cal so not super satisfying, but I plan to make it up to Whistler. I've been riding a DC Tone w/ some Forum Republic bindings. Not a bad set up, but I'm still getting used to reverse-camber/no-camber. My favorite piece of gear this season are these new Arnette Skylights I picked up recently. The fit and vision are amazing.
