Good For: Spring Day, Blue Bird Powder Day, Snow and Rain Mixed, Sleet

Pros: Lightweight

Other Thoughts: I love this jacket...but not when it's cold. It's 20w/20b or 20w/10b, I forget. The pros: internal google pockets have drawstrings to keep stuff from falling out, wrist gaitors are amazing, tons of pockets all over, goggle linen, very waterproof, mesh cool design that doesn't come across in the pictures but looks great in person, see-thru mp3 player holder with external access, pass window. Cons: If you wear this in the cold (Colorado cold, not Tahoe cold), you better layer it or you're gonna freeze. I wear it for warm days only.

Pros: Easy to carve, Stable at high speeds, Popular model

Cons: Heavy, Top sheet scratches, Sluggish

Other Thoughts: Great board. Graphic looks good. Topsheet does scratch easy relative to other board, and the scratches are quite visible on the black background. If you want a faster board, go with the X or better. The ICS system is great for its customizability. It has a little bubble that shows you angle and toe-heel offset. With two screws per binding, you can change your stance in 3 minutes flat. If you are just starting, it's really nice to play around with different binding settings to see what you like.
