Pros: Durable, Stable at high speeds, Strong edgehold, Great value, Soft
Other Thoughts: No Cons - Slick base makes this beast a speed machine. Most of my time is spent riding packed ice or groomers here in the north east. I tool this baby out on a powder day and never stepped back on to my vapor through the whole season (I did use a T6 in the park so I could Blow out my ACL - Season ending with class). Even on groomers this thing is a blast. It's like riding a surf board. It's so tapered, all it wants to do is turn. I get a lot of looks, but the thing is such a blast to ride. When I am lucky enough to get a POW day, she owns the mountain. I can grab a tree line and float everywhere. Where others have a hard time getting through, I float effortlessly. I feel like such a pimp riding this thing in 12 of fluff (yeah - 12 inches in a day is a pow day for us here).
