I'm just sitting at work not working looking at new snowboards for the winter. Having a terrible time deciding between the Arbor A-Frame and Arbor Abacus. I'm hoping it will be a winter of endless powder days, so buying a powder board would be a good idea, but then if it's not too flash, the A-Frame will probably make more sense.

Anybody got any experience of either? I can't try them out, because NZ is just Burton Burton or Burton boards, at double the price of the internet, so I will have to buy it from the states and ship it over.

And any opinions on Union bindings?

I thought I should post a picture of me to show that I still had fun on me hols.

This was taken on the glacier beside the Grand Montet (I don't know the name of the glacier).
The blokes on the mini paraglider-ski set up came off the mountain on the right,
the same one we came down.
Very cool here, but I kept well away from the crevasses!
