Okay.... I just spent two days on these in decent snow, not deep powder, but good groomers and trees with three or four inches of powder. These are great all mountain skiboards center mounted. Jjue calls them a Swiss army knife. I have to agree. I really like the Crossbows, but I have to ski them set back for the same performance. I skied into some powder over breakable crust. The tapered cambered tails break right through this stuff and I could still turn. The shape really gets a lot of edge when you want it. It's skis more like the Hagan and my Atomic than my other skiboards. It's directional very unlike the feel you'll get skiing a spliff or XL. It's also very easy to edge unlike the spliff and XL. Not tiring at all. In the trees with four inches of powder over skied out junk, these are great. The wide tips and rocker really handle this stuff. You can turn on a dime considering it is somewhat long. It does lack that playful feeling the XL has due to the shape. I don't mind that though because I usually ride going forward. This may be my go to board depending on how I do on it in the deep stuff. If you still enjoy long skis, buy this board. If you want to try something different from the traditional skiboard, buy this board. Take advantage of Jeff's great sale.
