There are soft boot boards, for freeride style boots. But they still don't fold easily.
However, I've seen boot bords that break and end up overlapping at the break. That's uncomfortable

Don't worry about how crowded it might be on Monday/tomorrow. Yesterday was pleasantly uncrowded at AM. The weather looks a little more threatening, however, so best to get as early a start as possible.Well, I just got back from 5 days in Mammoth. Would go back there for sure if I didn’t have to work! I work full-time, and swim, bike and run. So I don’t have tons of spare time. I‘m off work Monday and Tuesday this week, so wanted to go to Alpine to see if it would be worth some more trips. I do love spring skiing, so maybe I’ll make an exception and go on a weekend. But then I have three nieces graduating from high school all in the same year. First one (Soquel High School) yesterday. The other two locally in a few weeks, plus parties, etc.. It’s been a busy year, and I’ve skied too little
That’s good to know, but what about all the Memorial Day traffic?

Start early, quit early! You'll undoubtedly hit it going back down, but a bigger issue might be the swarms of motorcycle cops ticketing everyone in sight from the east side merge of 80/Business 80 all the way to Auburn.
Great day with @oldfashoned at Alpine! We hit a lot of fun areas: the D's, the Sherwood face's at one of the chutes (or gullies?) skiers right, the chute that seldom slides, which was one of the most fun runs. Promised land was fun as well. Our Father skied really well, too! (Though I supermaned as my skies got buried tip into a huge slush mogul ... I was coming down so confident so far 
)
Best run? The Palisades, which we lapped twice. Beautiful! Couple pictures on the (Alpine) Palisades:

At Squaw today from 9:30am to 11:45am. Much hotter day than yesterday at Alpine. Much more crowded too.
Shirley line started building up once Granite shut down around 10am. Switched to Siberia for several laps of reverse traverse to North Bowl and Hogsback.
Ended with KT and long ridge ski all the way to Heidi's.

I think we may have seen you superman on our father. We were the ones on purple and orange skisGreat day with @oldfashoned at Alpine!

Oh yeah, she told me on the lift recently!
Here's my footbed, right where I left it at home (i.e., not in the mountains)...
What I can report after 2 days of skiing at Palliwood, 8:15 to noon yesterday and 8:30 to 11:30 today :
- Grooming is still , but I guess there's only one more day.
- Today was cooler than yesterday, mostly a cloud cover issue.
- Skied National yesterday, and the conditions made even me look good. The Palisades at Palisades closed kind of early today, presumably b/c of lightning in the area (around when Granite closed, I think).
- Did several reverse traverses yesterday and today, mostly North Bowl to Hogsback. But after seeing a few people on the face today, I convinced the people I was skiing with to head there. I don't think I've ever spring reverse traversed to ski the face, and it was worth it. The only other time I've seen it this smooth was when it was actually groomed.

Fantastic morning session at Squaw today. Mostly hike-to-ski and in the 2 hrs we were there, we only took Funi + 2x Siberia chair.
No jackets needed with all the hiking.
National (2x), North Bowl, The Slot, Hourglass -- all skiing so nice!
Daughter going down National-
(She's on Lusti LP72 skis)
My turn-
(I'm on Salomon Stance 90)
Looking straight down The Slot-
Same shot, looking back up at me-

Looks awesome ^^ ! I worked 12 hours yesterday, so didn’t want to deal with traffic, etc. I always have FOMO, but maybe it’ll stay good at Alpine.

Some more clips from Monday/Closing day at Squaw; this time The Slot-

Wow - today was much more crowded at AM than last Saturday ...... and then it dawned on me: OV was closed 
Seems like a bad idea to ....make the dedicated summer goers pay...but hey, it will be free parking at OVThe parking reservation beta testing on July 4 weekend is going to be a mess...
