I'm interested in trying Playmakers. But, I'm not sure how they would really fit into my quiver. My main boards the past few years have been Sherpa's. After saving my life a few times on steep ice, I absolutely love those things and will probably never get rid of them. But, at times I wish that deliberate turn radius wasn't so big. I've been on a quest to find a board that compliments the Sherpa's for a two board quiver. Something that doesn't have to be driven like the Sherpa Cadillacs, a bit more playful yet still has tons of edge hold. Most of my boards are longboards like 120's, 130's, and Ospry's. I've got a few shorter boards like Rockered Condors, but no KTP's or DLP's. The biggest problem is I live in the middle of a great corn desert, nowhere near a mountain and powder days are very rare. So my skiing days are pretty limited each year and I have to be selective on what to take. I know my question is like comparing apples & oranges. But, how would the Playmakers compare to longer boards like Osprey's and RC's? Would Playmakers make a good quiver compliment to Sherpa's for a slow gorilla stance Clydesdales skier through trees?
Any thoughts on using a riser/release, non-release or snowboard boot rig, on Playmakers? Would PM's be good lighter weight touring board option?
