I'm confused about how one should ride the Blunt XLs in powder, I finally got some today, but had a hard time with them, they were more like pounding through everything than floating "on top" of it - relatively speaking. They were gathering a lot of snow on top of them and I could not ride the tails to get the front higher up. I even face planted once going uphill on a smallish bump of sorts.
In the same conditions I went on the LE 125 and it was much better, I could ride the tails and change direction only by weight shift, keeping the boards quite close to each other. I couldn't do the same on the XLs, the ride was much more bumpy somehow, surprisingly I was thrown off balance all the time ... On anything else but powder, the XLs were the opposite, not being affected much by anything, staying in balance and control all the time.
What am I doing wrong here ?!?
