ih8vtec13 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 The back of the flap that you pull down is hard plastic so it's not too bad. I fit an old Morrow that is my main board and an old Vision that is wide as well in there at the same without much problems. I usualy my Morrow and my friends Simms in ther no problem but her board is a bit smaller then mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yeah, my board is alot smaller than my bf's) i'm pretty confident my subie will kick ass in the snow, if my boards fit, that will rock even harder. hopefully the snow won't be too hazardous to drive in, but i don't think the sube will have any problems... \m/ camelback on saturday, mt creek on sunday! \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ih8vtec13 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I got a Thule rack but the fit kit is not going to get to me till mid Febuary so a Yakima rack is a good idea if you need it quick because the fit kit is available. BTW I am up at butternut almost every weekend so if you see smoeone riding a purple Morrow it is probably me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nu8reed Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I fit my 165cm board through it with my gf's board. The main problem would be the bindings. My gf has a much smaller board, but I have a harder time getting her's through because her bindings stick out more. My next challenge would be three boards. Might be possible, but probably not unless they're step-ins. Might invest in a rack pretty soon, but not if this cruddy weather keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih8vtec13 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 It's not too bad out east weather wise so the season is realy starting to kick off now.

eggya Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 if you can u guys should head out to camelback this weekend. it's not the best mountain, but it's a subaru "master the mountain" weekend. the reason i'm going in the first place is cuz i actually got 2 free lift tickets through a subaru email thing... http://skicamelback.com/?nav=press_subaru0405 too bad i'm not going early "Representatives from Subaru will be on hand to meet and greet guests. The complete 2005 lineup of Subaru vehicles will also be displayed in the Camelback base area. In addition, a limited number of VIP parking spaces will be reserved for the first guests to arrive in Subaru vehicles." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigneau Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I can't resist this childish comment. hmm, i definitely know that we need to take off the bindings cuz my bf is a little anal about things like that. i'm just concerned cuz his board is extra wide and huge (ride yukon). i think i need about 12" clearance to be safe. hopefully we'll be able to be careful when we try cuz i don't want that bootyful leather interior to get scratched up! Ok...he is anal and extra wide and huge...That just sounds wrong...Ok enough childish comments. But seriously, I have never actually tried to put a snowboard or skiis into mine but that is what it is designed for so I am assuming they did some testing.

HAHA! snowboarding is silly like that. esp when you describe boards. i was explaining to my friend earlier what the difference is b/w beginner and intermediate boards, in that intermediate boards are "a few inches longer and more stiff" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChruiSSer Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 My board wouldn't fit. I have the Ride Mountain board. I bought the Yakima rack and the thule 6pr carrier and it fits like a glove. I was plannin on going to mountiancreek on sunday because of all the snow. I got the triple play card so it won't cost me a thing. Maybe I'll go to camelback instead....I've never been there. Who's all going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
