Well I finally rode the 110cm Alp’s! Specifically the ’07 Soft Model. I am 5’4″ and was very much use to your sub 100cm Skiboard and loved the ’08 BWP’s(still love them) BUT… my new favorite board is in deed the Fabulous Alp! Heck no there is no issues going from sub 100cm to 110cm, side by the BWP & Alp are very similar and length is hard to really telling looking at them. The difference is in the riiiiiide! Oh yes, the smoothness and stability is back for me and the higher speeds!
The ’07 Soft Alp even went through the mushy soft stuff better than I expected… but not enough to ride the mush all day. No powder to try these in, so had to put no opinion and I didn’t hit up any park stuff so, no opinion on that either. Groomer runs were perfect, bumpy crud was perfect. Ice, I had a little bit of ice first thing in the morning and the fabulous Alp held just fine for me, I feel I can push these boards and myself next season for sure! As much as I love the sub 100cm Skiboard, this 110am Alp met my needs more. I am very happy for the investment. I was also using the Spruce Pro Prime Risers.
