I picked this board up as the first board I owned for $120. I thought that 157 cm would be the right size for me, but it wasn't. I thought the board would be great for butters, but I was wrong. It was super stiff, which is good for progression, but not for a park board. I snowboard all of the mountain, from the groomers to the park to the backcountry. The board worked great in the occasional powder and worked amazingly in northwestern crud and slush. I am now looking to replace it because I need a board that is more flexible, so I can work on my park snowboarding. Overall the snowboard is very good for most of the mountain, but could use more flex for the park.
