OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 5
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Responsive and agile
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Tough day to be critical of a board that is not powder specific, it was a challenging day to make friends with a twin

RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 7: 5

ADDITIONAL FLEX COMMENT: flex was just right for me at 174lbs, held it’s own in the chunder and was responsive and quick in the trees
RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS FROM 1 TO 7: 5
STABILITY COMMENT: PRETTY GOOD
ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: Need to find some groomers to let it run and make some turns….. just kidding I’m going to ride more untracked!
RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7: 5
COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: PRETTY DARN FUN
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: So far this morning I’d say the stability, and “ predictable responsiveness” in the deep stuff is running the conversation more than “Pop”
RATE FLOAT IN POW FROM 1 TO 7: 4
COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: OK
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: I set the stance farther back than normal to match conditions, still had a work to stay afloat… at 6’2” though that float struggle is on me to move my center down and back
RATE THE GRAPHICS FROM 1 TO 7: 5
GRAPHICS COMMENT: HARD TO LOOK AT
ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS COMMENTS: It’s good to take risks now and then….
