Default My Ultimate Board....

NeverSummer Premier T5 165

I just got one and am blown away. It carves hard, suprrisingly well
for a soft boot set up (Salomon Malamutes and S5's - a couple of years
old but awesome). It held edge on everything but steep ice, and even
then with enough finesse on the edge on chattered a little bit.

It is super fast, easy to ride, looks great, carves like a demon. The
speed actually threw me a little since I completely over shot the
couple of rails that I did.

I was looking for a stiff all mountain board that carves well, since I
really like to have some carving sessions but don't really enjoy
riding hard boots. The carving performance is no where near as good
as an alpine set up, but better than any of the BoardCross boards I
tried, and a lot of fun to ride everywhere on the mountain.

Best board ever (or at least for me in the last few years)

Great review! I have been considering the Premier 159 - mostly just waiting
for a sale.

What other BX boards have you ridden?

I've got a Volkl Cross and a Prior MFR and have found them to carve
rather nicely for softboot rigs. I'll have to give the NS a shot at
the next demo day.

Thanks for the tip!
