I just finished using this baby on the California side of Heavenly. The resort's not too impressive, but ALL OF A SUDDEN, I REALIZED I'M A MUCH BETTER SNOWBOARDER. I've heard people say this board is unstable at low speeds or doesn't do quick tight turns very well, but this is not at all the case. I can carve all the way down a moderately icy face pretty quickly and not lose stability unless I go way off course. Haven't used it a lot in the park, but it's super light and has decent pop. The best part of the Concept is its unbelievable response: if you THINK heelside, you'll TURN heelside. I used to be exclusively loyal to Burton, but now I'll never go back. Use these with the SPi bindings and your control will be untouchable. I LOVE THIS BOARD!!!
