Pros/cons of "softer" board

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just looking through Donek specs with an eye towards my first "real" alpine deck (currently riding a Volkl Cross as I have big feet; also can't ride too big a sidecut on my little local mtn).

There's a 170 Freecarve, 10 meter sidecut, 9.5 stiffness.

Compare to 170 Blade, 12 meter sidecut, 4.6 stiffness -- way less.

How would these two boards differ in terms of riding style/strengths/limitations? I'm only moderately aggressive; looking to keep speed *down*; not crazy fast. I do want to be able to do the steeps & have to deal with plenty of ice as well.

Michael
