Strength:
None I test drove a buttload of boards before deciding on this one. I tend to like to haul ass a lot and really enjoy a board that can carve well. However I was looking for a board that could do that AND still be fun in the bumps, in the mashed potatoes, be quick turning, and for the occasional attempted "air". This board holds an edge like you''''''''re on a rail, but it is also very forgiving flex-wise so that you can whip it around and not flip yourself over trying to do short turns. Lots of snap and very lightweight. I got the 163 and am totally loving it in Summit County CO. It''''''''s somewhat expensive, but in this case, you get what you pay for. The Rossi Premier is a very similar ride (even though it''''''''s supposed to be a freestyle board), but the Burton was definitely more accessible to purchase, and I think it held an edge just a little better. The sintered base is pretty tough too. Ran over some rocks, swore a blue streak, and found out that the base didn''''''''t even gouge. SWEET! If you''''''''re looking for a really nice stiff carving board, the BMC is great, but always wants to carve, whereas the Cascade is just an all round fun board that you can take anywhere. The experience pulldown menu for this review is totally screwed up. It''''''''s for hiking, not snowboarding !!?!!?

Strength:
None Great board for both back country and pist. The relative stiffness in the front suites me fine. Compared to the F2 Boxer which is slightly softer in the front the Cascade work better at higher speed in the Pist. Cascade is a board I will use yet a nother season.
