TESTER: Stephanie Nitsch

BOARD: Slideshow Steppin razor 155

TEST YEAR:   2019 SHAPERSUMMIT SNOWBOARD REVIEWS

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  4

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Stability and it’s ability to plow like a nail driver

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Sluggish to turn. Gotta throw my whole body weight into the board to get it to go. Especially noticeable on groomers. Takes a second for either edge to activate, then once it initiates, it keeps going. Hard to bring it back in line when that happens.

OVERALL COMMENTS: I can tell this thing would rip in the steep and deep and wide open terrain. Pow slashes are this boards friend! Wasn’t able to wrangle it through the trees too well or tighten up my turns. Just gotta send it.

CONDITIONS TESTED IN:     POWDER

RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS FROM 1 TO 7:  5

STABILITY COMMENT: PRETTY GOOD

ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: Good for the most part. Not much forgiveness if my weight was over the front foot upon landing

RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7:  4

COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: BOOORING

ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS:  Didn’t get too playful or surfy. But I would imagine if I took this down something steeper and more complex, I’m not sure I’d want something playful anyway.
