OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  5

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Floated well in powder.

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: It may because the board was a little long for me but I felt it was too stiff to maneuver groughbtoght trees. It wanted to go really fast and didn’t turn as quickly as I wanted.

OVERALL COMMENTS: I wish I got to ride this board earlier in the day when the pow as still plentiful. It seems like it is best suited for steep and deep pow, but wasn’t super fun in chopped up snow.
