  1. Hi, this is my first post in this forum so please correct me if i did something wrong, posted in the wrong section etc. Some back story. I'm 18 yo snowboarder from Finland and have been snowboarding for about 10 years. The last 3 years with hardboots. The switch has been a game changer and i love it! To the topic. I bought this snowboard used (for 120€ with bindings) about a year ago. And in the end of last season i had an accident in the powder. I was thankfully ok, but the snowboard took a slight bend in the nose. I know its not a powder board, but when you got fresh pow you cant resist. Works ok if you got enough speed. Before it was a traditional camber like almost all alpine snowboards. Now its more like a powder rocker or a different directional camber profile. I find it a really interesting combination the really narrow and stiff board with a more forgiving camber profile. Takes the park and freeride much better. Would be interesting to see alpine snowboards offered with some more interesting camber profiles The board has a full metal core for stiffness, but i can say from experience that if it was a normal wood core snowboard it would have been in two peaces after the impact And as a bonus I don't need to baby it any more. Now i can just send it, because it has already taken a beating green marks are new unloaded contact points
