After we got to the top of it, we had to shimmy over/across some rocks and into the entrance. I had met a riding friend there earlier in the season named Evan, and he had been showing me around A basin. It was about a 30-45 minute hike straight up the East Wall. One of the coolest times I had on this board was hiking up the East Wall at Arapahoe Basin to the Snorkel Nose trail. I commonly ride switch on this board to give my right leg a break from riding directional boards, and with my bindings to symmetrical angles (12/-12), it doesn’t feel bad riding switch, but of course, something true twin would perform better. Switch riding: Switch riding is decent with the twin shape, but it is hindered a bit by the 0.5-inch setback.The durability isn’t terrible, though, considering what I put it through and the low tide conditions in some areas this year. I also noticed some separation at the tail, but I am pretty sure this is just because I hit a stump at high speed, which is my error. That being said, this board doesn’t have the most amazing durability, as I noticed some chipping on the edge of the topsheet. Durability: I am definitely not that nice to my boards at all and commonly get core shots, topsheet damage, and damage at the tip and tail.The pop on this board is decent, but nothing crazy. Its ability to charge through chunder is solid, and it feels pretty damp, with most of the vibrations not traveling up through my feet because it stiffens up as it gets to the middle of the board. Stability: This board has good stability from the camber and the stiffness.Weight: The weight feels pretty normal to me.The rocker and directional twin shape help keep it above the snow for the most part. It does well on steeper lines and is stable enough for big drops and jumps. Backcountry: I haven’t taken this board out into the true backcountry but have done some lift-accessed backcountry laps with it and a good amount of hikes as well.I think if someone was in the park and on rails most days, they would maybe want something a little more playful. It’s stiff enough for bigger jumps and won’t have the tail wash out too hard when landing backseat.

It has a directional twin shape, so the riding switch feels slightly different but not enough that it’s a big deal. I also have some trouble on rails, but I’m not very confident on rails regardless. I have a little trouble getting into butters and presses as it takes a decent bit of effort to get the tail to press.

Park: This board does decently in the park, but it is a bit too stiff for my liking.

Moguls: The Typo does well in the moguls because it’s stiff enough to respond quickly and also has some camber to push off of.

It’s pretty quick edge to edge to make quick turns and get around obstacles.

Trees: This board does well in the trees.

In super low-angle powder, it slows down a bit more compared to something fully directional. In wet snow like in the PNW at Crystal, it is a bit more difficult but still does decently well. The 0.5-inch setback combined with the rocker in the tip and tail helps keep it above snow around 6 inches pretty easily.

Powder: This board floats surprisingly well in the powder.

Groomers: Great on groomers, can really lay out a good carve, and the Underbite grips the snow in more firm conditions.

The stiffer flex with the camber helps to drive out of turns as well. The rocker in the tip and tail helps me get into a turn pretty easily, and the directional twin shape lends itself well to making carves.

Turns ): Turning feels great on this board.

The Underbite can be just a bit catchy at times so, that’s something to watch out for.

Something full camber with Underbite or something similar, maybe a bit better. The rocker in the tip and tail do take away from the edge hold but only slightly. Edge hold: The edge hold on this board is very good, aided by the Underbite profile that helps to push your contact points into hard snow.The stiffer flex of this board and camber between the feet make it stable. Only when getting up to insanely fast speeds does it start to feel loose.

Speed: This board handles speed pretty easily.
