Definitely not an all day ride. Great performance on a hard race course but would be hell on all but the most perfectly groomed "Hero" snow.
As I get on in years (and size), I enjoy cruising as much as charging every run. I have gone to a much softer settings on my boots, Suzukas with BTS (yellow/blue). I find it much easier to vary the size of a carve and adjust for changing snow conditions with a little more boot flex.
My old Raichle 323's that have the cuffs pinned and a locked RAB tend to gather a lot of dust these days.
Trenches for All!
