“I’ve recovered enough from my meniscus injury…to actually go out and give the board a couple days of runs down some steep and deep and long black diamonds, after getting dumped on with a few feet of powder.

…I hit the same run as Friday (along with a fresh dump of 18” of new), with a mid camber on both ends, and that inch and half set back on the rear binding, with no rocker, it performed marvelously without having to sit in the back seat. I think it performed every bit as good as my Lib Tech Orcas, if not better.

Once out of the black diamond chute, I hit the groomers and bounced back and forth off piste looking for trees and powder and side hits. This board is totally SICK! I felt like I was skiing again on a tight slalom course pivoting around my planted ski poles, the board turned so sharp and precisely in control that I wanted to make more runs, but, had to go to work and teach kids on the baby runs. Oh, and BTW, initially, I thought the board was way too soft and flexible for me, but with it at mid-camber, this board is the perfect tool for instructing new students, even with the inch-and-half rear binding setback….

…I’m totally impressed with and satisfied with [the] board’s nimbleness and powder-hounding ability…”
