Awesome board for the pow, but super playful for the park/jib/groomer days as well. Nicely poppy and responsive, the centered stance and twin shape make this board a true all mountain freestyle deck. No joke.

This is a great designed board. I wanted a deck that was a bit shorter than I usually ride, so I went with the 155. I am really used to regular camber boards, so this style was new to me. Getting off the lift I had a hard time controlling myself sideways waiting to go. Once up to speed things smoothed out, but still felt a bit slippery. I learned the deck was best when I was always on edge, which it did a great job of holding up. In powder or crud snow I am sure this deck wouldn't have any problems. On the ice hardpack I didn't have as much confidence riding the deck flat. Again I didn't have the chance to ride in crud/pow with it. If you have experience with rocker decks then this would be a sweet deck for you. I might have better luck with the 159. Anyway this deck has the sickest graphics and shape. It gets tons of looks.

Over the last few seasons I have been riding a noodly reverse camber park board that's great in the park but not so great anywhere else on the mountain and a very good pow board. I bought this board to fill in the middle, I was looking for a board for those non-pow groomer and park days when edge hold and speed rule the day. I couldn't be more pleased with how the Mountain Twin has handled our Cascade Concrete. The edge hold is fantastic, the flex is good and the base is fast. Jeremy Jones says that this is the board that he rides on resort days, which makes a ton of sense, it's perfect for getting your all mountain fix. The cam-rocker took a few runs to get used to (since I was coming from reverse camber) it felt a bit sketchy when flat based, but once I found that sweet spot the camber profile combined with the very mellow magne-traction held an edge very well and was very quick and easy edge to edge. Tons of POP! Boosting off of rollers and jumps is soooo easy. I haven't had the opportunity to ride it in pow yet, but to be honest it probably won't see anything deeper than a foot (I have a great pow board for the deep days). Highly recommended, I really can't think of anything I don't like about this board.
