This board is outstanding! I purchased the 2006 model a year ago and I've been very pleased with the purchase. It's a great all mountain board, I use it for anything from speeding down the normal slopes, to catching air in the terrian park, to back country powder riding when I take trips. It's soft enough, responsive, and reliable. All of this combined with the great service and reliability that Ride offers with all their products makes for a great purchase for anyone. Although I haven't been able to use it too much in powder conditions, seeing that I live in North Carolina, where hardly any natural snow falls, I'm sure that the board would be just fine in powder conditions. All in all, this board is the best board I have owned and even ridden and it works fine in any conditions, anywhere on the mountain and makes a great board for anyone.
Advantages: Fast, light, exceptional cornering, Disadvantages: Expensive, not the easiest tyres to fit
...-Roubaix style riding.
Just so you know, I use the black & dark grey flavour, in theory they are all the same but you never know. Once you've lent into a fast corner on these tyres you'll wonder how you ever managed to ride a road bike without them fitted. Being light they spin up to speed very fast and once rolling seem to want to go on forever.
It has to be mentioned that these are rather a tight fit on most rims. Have a good set of tyre levers ready, and try not to pinch the innertube. The flipside of their tight fit is of course they are far less likely to blowoff the rim than other tyres.
As far as durability is concerned the tyres completly smooth surface does seem to show up the odd nick from time to time but this doesn't seem to hamper the performance. I'm sure that this happens to tyres with tread as well it is just more noticable...
