After roughly 20 days on it this recently past season (I had about 5 true pow days on my K2) I am still as much in love with this SG as I was when it first came into my life. I must really love it if I am writing a review at the end of May. Its funny I finally gravitated to this All-Mountain b/c my 20 year old F2 Flame is so similar to it, aside from an 8 lbs weight difference and loads of technology. There had been days where I couldn't push this thing hard enough and I felt stable on low grades as a 200ft evergreen in the Wenatchees. With that said, as few things better SG could have done and hope someday he duplicates and improves this already bodacious board. Nose is too soft. It should be noted I am on the heavier end of the weight limitation on this board but I still think if I was 20lbs lighter I still would overflex if I was really given'er. I just found some Kessler BX K. Plates that I THINK should rectify this. I still think, even though it says its meant for both, hardboots are the ONLY way to ride this slasher. I also would like to see this board 5 cm longer. I think it would add a load of stability to an already stable board. This extra 5 would come in handy on those not so great days we have where we can see, pow at first chair, ice at noon, and chop/slush for last call. I have laid out some great sprawling carves on it and she held true but adding a bit of length to her would allow me to lay it down with a bit more confidence. Non-the less I still think this is the ultimate board for me. So much so I have sold off everything but my F2 classic and my K2 gyrator softie so I could let her know I am dedicated to her and only her on days that DON'T start and end in pow.
