Qucik question, I am considering the purchase of a Prior 4wd. I board in So. Cal and at Mammoth Mtn. most of the times. I took my Oxygen Proton 157 (I'm 5'9 - 155 and a intermediate carver) to the local mountain and by 11:00 AM I went to my soft boot set up due to the over crowding. I'm hoping that the 4wd will allow me to carve when I'm able to and skid when I have to. Can anyone with expierence shed some light on if this is the right board for me? I appreciate the feedback. Side note: I know my spelling sucks, I'm a product of the California school system
