The Burton T6 snowboard comes at a premium; but to get the absolute best on-piste riding board there is then you have to pay for it.... The T6 is without doubt the best on piste board board I have ever ridden and it aint half bad in powder either

The moment you take the board on its first run down the piste you will instantly feel more confident with it, you will find yourself pushing yourself harder and harder and when you think you have pushed yourself to hard the board will carry you through the turns and deliver you to the bottom of the mountain. The board comes into its own when the conditions get icy, I'm not saying you will start enjoying icy conditions as much as piste conditions but while your friends are falling about the place you will be slicing through the ice as if it wasn't there

The board also performs well off piste in the powder, its very leight and as a result lets you keep above the powder a bit more easily, the default stance on the board is quite far back which also aids with the powder riding - there are however better powder boards out there though

Also, this board cannot be used in the park (with the exception of the half-pipe) the materials its made from may damage or break if you take it over rails or boxes
