As good as this is, I can not take advantage of this awesome AltrecOutlet.com sale because I cut myself off from buying anything until tax time. This is for myself of course and Christmas gifts are perfectly valid, but there really nothing on my list that I could get from Altrec, so I figured I’d pass it on. You can actually head right to Altrec.com itself and the coupon HOHOHO is valid on All Sale Items. They also have the lowest (regular and most consistent) Free Shipping threshold of all the online stores. The regular vs. outlet domains are really just an easy way to separate sale products and it gets the user in through a different method. BackcountryOutlet.com is also Backcountry.com (or used to be, they may have changed the way you can switch from store to store) and Evogear.com does and in-site switch as well. Look below to find some left over Cyber Monday deals going on.
Omatic Sweet 160 09'
Be wary of how busy and backed up online shops still are, especially the smaller core shops. I placed an order on the night of Monday, November 30th and it has yet to ship. A small place with limited resources and hands can only do so much, but they were honest and up front about, so no biggie.
And since I am waiting on some stuff, I’ll post when I get it. Actually my boyfriend just got his Omatic Sweet (pic above) snowboard yesterday, and it is pretty sweet. Even better, since he was torn about whether to get the Omatic Sweet or the Omatic Awesome, he got stickers that say “Awesome.” I know it is a great board and I did a lot of research, but I really think his final decision was because the boards were called “Awesome” and “Sweet.”
I looked over the board a bit. Nice flex – not too soft and not too stiff. It will be a perfect board for just about anything. We spent some time looking at widths, but ended up not going with the Omatic Awesome wide. The waist is only 25.6cm wide, but with new bindings and boots he has, we hope this board will eliminate most toe drag he had. He loves the risers on his skis and was considering them for snowboarding too.
As Hampus Mosesson’s pro model and meant for big mountain freestyle riding it’s a twin directional. Definitely going to suit his all around riding style. The sidewall angle kind of falls in the middle so it will allow for some margin of error, also good for a skier.
