Looks perfect. I remember those trees being unique, are they called ghost trees?
Edit: I got the ghost right and they are trees. Snow ghosts.

Arrgh....long dry spell in California, don't like it. Thinking of loading up the car and heading up to Bozeman via Utah and Colorado ... such promise early season...
Another type of snow fun (although this was summer)...up on a glacier outside of Campbell River, BC (Mt Elkhorn? can't recall) picking up glacier ice for the proverbial "rich uncle's" martini
Snow, pleeeeezzzzeee.....

First, that board is bordering on being a collectors item. And it looks like it's in great shape! Think twice.....
Second, I can't tell from the photo (and can't recall my history that well), but if it has the 3-hole pattern, it'll be a pain in the ass to split. Does it have inserts along the center of the board (where you'd cut it)? If so, that will create problems. It's not impossible, just challenging.

Awesome score briham!
i made the mistake of splitting a Burton and the 3 hole pattern was definitly an inconvenience but it still does the trick and is on its 3rd season.

Good call BCD. To be honest I'm a complete noob when it comes to splitboarding. It does have a 3 hole setup and it also has extra metal in the nose and on the tail. Hey kid does the three hole setup just mean more drilling, or are the holes in the line of the cut?

Yea. The holes and in the line of cut, they spark line crazy, and make the finished project look like a hack job.

Damn.... maybe I should find another donor. I just watched a DIY make a splitboard video with the Voile kit and it seems pretty straight forward. I could see how those holes would make it a potential hack job though :( anybody want a classic snowboard for trade???? haha
edit: Yeah Mike that's kind of what I'm thinking now

Wow! Nice additions all!
Sick pics guys!
Nice deck Briham! I betcha that would make a heavy split! Would look cool tho. Your probably better off to find a four hole pattern deck though.! My buddy has an old "air" he still rocks once in awhile.
Suze, I want snow too! We need some pow!!

Briham, take your pick, although with the Malolo u would have the same hole pattern issue, the Paavo is well ridden but super solid, both 62's. Actually I have a 170 option free plus up in the storage hole too, maybe a few others but their probably trashed. The 170 would be a jib board for Big Mike but if your under 200 it would be a charging machine! I'll try & dig it up but it's pretty much mint & could be a good option to split. If u aren't too attached to that AIR I'd be stoked to work something out, always wanted that deck when I was about 10 or 11, real bad. Never got a chance to ride one. The other thing I could offer u would be (conditions permitting), the best lap you've ever done at a resort if u ever make it up here :-)
Just went out on my split for the first time yesterday, was real fun & I'm psyched for more.
