OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 6
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Very stable ride, whether in chop or deep snow, this board handled!
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: I might have felt more comfortable on the 157, I felt as if the board was a bit sluggish and not as agile as I would have liked.
