these are solid snowshoes. i use them for backcountry snowboarding,,,,which means i have a lot of gear on my backpack the whole time. i weight 175lb, plus all the gear, i will weight around 230lb when i send. with floatation tails attached, i can still handle 40cm of pow in kootenay backcountry. heal lifter works so well, cant imagine life without it. little pricy up here in canada but overall a good buy.

the boots are solid. my first boa boots, and it works good. it is true that lower half of the boots doesnt get as tight as the upper with boa, but it didnt bother me at all when riding. these are my 3rd dc`s and as ususal, they fit about one full size smaller. im not sure if im a fan of air pumps,,,,but its just a matter of personal likings. i mainly ride backcountry, trees, chutes, cliffs,,,,pretty much anything natural with little tiny bit of park when the weather is crap and they are have the perfect flex for what i like to do.

i have 167cm and it rides like a dream. i mainly ride backcountry, trees,chutes,cliffs,,,,all the natural stuff, and very little park when weather is crap. i was little worried about twin shape and its very little set back because of my riding style however, i put bindings as far back as they can get when i ride big mountains and its awesome. not as stiff as my previous board, option makinen 161cm, which also worried me a little when i received it since i like fast, steep, obstacle littered lines. when i actually rode it, it was very stable, sharp, easy to throw around despite its length, and floats on pow very nice. according to my buddy's GPS, i was going 86km/hr on groomer at kickinghorse, magne traction held its edge like it was glued to the snow and it felt very safe. when taking off jumps, it has lots of pop and stable platform for landing,,,,all the time. now, as for park riding, i cant say much since last time i rode park was 2005 and last rail session was 2003. i was told my buddy who rides park a lot that it might be little too stiff for full blown park junkies. however, the board was originally designed for freestylers in mind so im sure it will do you good.
