I bought the original RVL8 Revolts back in 2006 and have been enjoying them for the past 12 years! I only make one three-day ski trip a year so they don't see a ton of action, but they've been pretty used and abused over the years. I'm thinking that the skiboard technology has come a long way and it might be time to consider an upgrade.
I mostly ski out in Colorado, but this year we're heading out to Utah for the first time. I am not one to bust out any tricks, but I love bombing down the mountain, riding in the trees, and even flying some some moguls. I have loved my Revolts in every instance in that I can just put them on and handle pretty much everything we do -- except deep powder. Last year at Big Sky I found myself going down and getting stuck on more than one occasion. I have good technique when it comes to getting on my heals, but I know the boards and technique can only do so much for me.
I've checked out the board comparison chart and it looks like the best all around board is still the Revolt so I'm hesitant to change things up... but then I also don't know if the newer Revolts are that different than the originals. I'm 6'1 - 165 lbs. Any thoughts?
