Pros: Stable, Crud Buster, Solid

I got back from Utah, where we skied in 4 days of powder dumpers, I had my Elan 82XTi's Amphibio's which were great boards but I decided I needed more underfoot...as an addition to the inventory.

 

I went for the Spires and they have not disappointed. I find they are true crud busters, and I can carve it up on all but bulletproof stuff.

 

We ended up with some heavy Midwest dumps at the season end and the Spires were a ball.

 

Bindings are Elan/Tyrolia OEM, size 181's.

 

Solid board...

 

As an aside, Elan is introducing an Amphibio 88Xti for 2013 that rocks the socks....single ti sheet with a carbon sheet and 15% lighter bindings...it's a winner...

Contrary to many other folks, I purchased and sold a pair of Bonafides, and love the Spires I now own !
