What boards did you ride this season?

I picked that up on sale in March of last season, when there were 4 weeks left of lift-assisted.  Just enough for a few creamy spring dumps and lots of soft warm days.  I absolutely loved it for its maneuverability in trees and bumps in spring snow.  Declared it my new favorite "resort" powder board, as it's really good with tracked-out and bumbed-up snow.  Better than the Hovercraft, which prefers untracked.

This year it was still my go-to powder day board, but I did notice its limitations in less spring-like conditions.  Love it in soft, surfy snow, but not so much when you want some help from the edges.  It's so rockered and de-tuned that there's little effective edge when you want to do something other than slide sideways down the fall line.  Sidehilling with a few inches over frozen?  No thank you.

For under 4 inches I was still choosing shapes with more camber and effective edge, like my Nidecker Megalights.  But that just means it's not a quiver of one.  It's a great board for soft, surfy conditions.  It's so unhooked and loose that it feels like you're riding a wake-board, which is an absolute blast in the right conditions.
