• Name: 2010 Sierra V Spot Snowboard Women's
• Skill:  Beginner
• Use:  Boxes,Jumps,Rails
• Pros:  Soft, Easy to press, Great for progression
• Cons:  May be soft for larger jumps,

Experience:   I had the opportunity to ride this board for about 3 hours at Steamboat, Colorado this afternoon. We did a few tree runs with some leftover powder for the first bit of it. The board handled fairly well in the powder and actually was pretty stable at higher speeds on the groomer sections as well. It's a bit on the soft side for some of the faster riding, but still fared well overall. We hit the park for two laps near the end of the day. I'm not much of a park rider, but I did do a few boxes and two fairly decent size jumps on it. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is hitting large features, as it's a bit soft for the landings, but for the progression in the park, I would highly recommend this board. It's amazingly simple to press and will help immensely with the progression of flat-ground tricks. And who can pass up this unique graphic? Props to Phil Wiles on this one!

• Name: 2010 Burton Lip-Stick Womens
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Use:  Butters,Groomed,High Speeds,Jibs,Jumps,Low Speeds,Switch Riding
• Pros:  Soft Flex, Great maneuverability, All around fun ride
• Cons:  A bit on the soft side for high speed riding, A bit soft for larger jumps,

Experience:   I rode this board at a demo last season and quickly fell in love. I am not much of a freestyle rider by any means, but felt that my freestyle would progress immensely if I continued riding this board. With the V Rocker, it's very nimble and quick, making for super easy butters and presses. This would be a great board for anyone who is either just stepping into the freestyle realm, or who just wants to progress it to the next level. I'm very tempted to pick one up to further progress my freestyle riding.

• Name: 2010 Capita Charlie Slasher
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Use:  Groomed,High Speeds,Off Trail,Ungroomed
• Pros:  Cheap, Fun ride, Badass graphics
• Cons:  None that I experienced,

Experience:   Well, Chris did the intro for me, so I'll continue from there. I rode the 164 Slasher last season for one of the better powder days of the year and I'm pretty sure I was smiling from ear to ear the entire time. I own a 158 Malolo, but had left it at home for the weekend. I talked Chris into letting me ride the 64 Charlie so I'd have a pow board for the dump we were about to recieve overnight. Even though 164 is a pretty long board for someone of my size, it was still a complete joy to ride! It had great float in the deeps, yet still rode very well and stable on the groomers back to the lift. Honestly, I didn't want to give Charlie back to Chris, but had to anyway. I don't have him to myself yet, but I will before the season starts. The Malolo is about to share its time, if not lose its spot :) This is a great powder board and worth every penny!

• Name: 2008 Palmer Liberty Womens
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Use:  Groomed,Low Speeds,Park,Switch Riding
• Pros:  Fast Base, Lightweight,
• Cons:  A little soft for aggressive riding,

Experience:   I demoed the 2008 Liberty at Squaw Valley when it was debuting as the highest-end women's board in Palmer's lineup. I had owned the 2007 Liberty Carbon and Liberty, so I was interested to see what they were doing with it for 2008. They had meshed a few of the Liberty Carbon's features into the traditional Liberty, so it had a few upgrades from the prior season, but I wasn't thoroughly impressed with it overall for an all mountain ride. I enjoyed it more as a playful all mountain board, but didn't find it to be quite as aggressive as I had hoped for or anticipated it to be. I do think it's a fun all mountain freestyle board though. It's got an aggressive sidecut to it, and the flex is somewhat forgiving.

• Name: 2011 Superfeet Footbeds F
• Pros:  Great Support, Nearly elliminates my ankle pain, Keeps me on my feet longer without pain

Experience:   After having ankle surgery nearly 10 years ago now, I've been riding many years with constant daily pain. I started trying out various footbeds and have tried a few colors of Superfeet but have some to love the Greens. With the added arch support in both my shoes and boots, I have noticed great strides in eliminating the continuous pain I had for years and have been able to stay on my feet for longer periods of time. Overall, I'd say that if you have issues with being on your feet for long periods of time for whatever reason, these are a great start to working those problems out.

• Name: 2010 Burton Trials Premium
• Pros:  Sherpa Lined Hood & Torso, Insulated throughout,
• Cons:  Slight Slim Cut,
• Fit:  Just right
• My Size:  M
• Fits Like:  M
• Description:  This hoodie is a touch on the slim side, but still comfortable in your normal size

Experience:   I'm not exactly a slim build, but this hoodie is bound to be one of my faves this season. With the Sherpa lined torso and hood, it's ultra comfy, and warm. The sleeves have a waffle lining, so not as plush as the Sherpa, but still very warm throughout. If you tend to be on the chilly side like me, this is a great buy!

• Name: 2008 Analog Geiger
• Pros:  Warm, Waterproof
• Description:  WEATHER: Cold and Blustery Day, Snow and Rain Mixed, CHEST: Feels true to size, BODY: Feels true to length, INSEAM: Feels true to length,

Experience:   Talk about bang for the buck! Puffy down AND 20,000 waterproofing.... that's nearly unheard of! As Airik and Guth said though, this thing is toasty. I've worn it on two chilly Tahoe days and was still a bit warm. This would be a great jacket for anyone who rides in truly cold weather. It's got great insulation and keeps you dry.

• Skill:  Intermediate
• Use:  Carving,Groomers,Powder
• Pros:  Durable, lightweight, Easy to carve, poppy, Stable at high speeds, Popular model, Strong edgehold, Great value, Well known brand

Experience:   Just got done riding this board on the first day of my season at Squaw. I had some high expectations based on many reviews I've heard and I definitely was not let down!! At high speeds it held a great edge, yet was still fun and easily maneuverable at lower speeds. This is a great board with an amazing price tag.

• Name: 2008 Burton Wheelie Cargo Luggage Bag
• Pros:  The Wheelie Cargo bag is one of the most convenient bags I've had to date. Everytime we head to the in-laws' house for the weekend, this is the bag I pack up. If you're going for a week-long trip somewhere, this bag is perfect for it. With a seperate pocket for toiletries, along with the 'Cram-Zones', there's not much you can't fit into it.

Experience:   Check out the Wheelie Double Deck if you need a bit more room for luggage or are taking a longer trip.

• Name: 2008 Burton Wheelie Locker Snowboard Bag
• Pros:  This bag is seriously the do-all for snowboard bags. You will fit more stuff into it than the airlines allow. I had to remove items to make it stay within the weight limits when we flew with it last winter. If you're looking for an ultra durable bag to throw all of your gear into for your next big trip, you've found your match! Get it!

Experience:   Even though it's spendy, it's well worth the money to protect your even more expensive setup!

• Name: 2007 Burton FBI-6 Tool
• Pros:  I own a few different tools, but the FBI tool is the one that I choose to ride with most often. It folds up to be the most compact of the Burton tools. With just about every tool that you'll need for on-hill adjustments, there's not point in carrying any others!

• Skill:  Advanced
• Use:  Carving,Groomers,Jumps
• Pros:  Durable, lightweight, Easy to carve, poppy, Stable at high speeds, Strong edgehold

Experience:   I rode this board for most of the 2008 season and can't seem to get enough of it. It's an amazing blend of all mountain and freeride. It's got great flex, yet handles extremely well at high speends. Can literally be taken from park to peak and hold its own.

• Name: 2007 Burton P1 Wingtip
• Pros:  I have my P1 Wingtips on my Burton Malolo and it couldn't be a better setup. The P1's are known for comfort, which they most definitely live up to. This isn't a very stiff binding, so they're great for a powder board or an all mountain board. If you're looking for a cadillac binding, the P1 is where it's at.

• Name: 2008 Burton Malolo Second
• Pros:  I cannot even put into words how much I am in love with this board. I'm sad that I haven't gotten more days in on it this season. The Malolo is a dream come true for riding powder. Jump on this badboy and you'll never have thighburn again.

Experience:   It is recommended to downsize on this board, but I have to admit that I upsized by 4cm from my average ride and am so happy that I did. It's still quick on turns and floats like no other.

• Name: 2008 Ride Fever Womens
• Pros:  I ride the DFC (limited edition version) of the Ride Fever and absolutely love it! The Fever is soft enough to be playful for freestyle, yet stiff and stable enough to cruise down groomers without chattering. I would highly recommend this for any girl who wants to up the ante in the park or pipe, yet also enjoys some all mountain riding as well!

• Name: 2008 Palmer P Line
• Pros:  I rode this board wondering what it was all about. I soon learned that the P-Line could be a fun board that could be soft enough for someone just stepping into snowboarding, or fun and steady for someone who's advanced, but looking for a great board for an even better price. I rode this on hardpack, off trail and in the trees and was in love with it by the time I got off of it. Overall, super fun board, and a great investment for anyone.

Experience:   Mellow graphic could be great for a sticker or paint marker job!

• Name: 2008 Burton Feelgood ES Womens
• Pros:  Being as the board that I ride is no longer produced, I am on the hunt for my next potential stick. I figured I'd give the ES a shot and see what all the hooplah was all about. The past season and a half I've been riding a 152, but of course this is only made in a 150 or 155. I opted to try out the 155 and off I went. Overall, a super fun board for anything you want to hit. Quite stable at high speeds, holds a great edge on solid hardpack, but still fun enough to turn it down a notch and play.
• Cons:  It's only made in three sizes, making it hard to get on the optimal size for some.

Experience:

• Name: 2008 Option Signature
• Pros:  I rode this board a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. It was a fun, stable board on the early morning hardpack and the softer groomer runs. I didn't have a chance to take it off the hardpack, but I'm sure it'd be fun anywhere it's taken! Overall, a fun all mountain cruiser board.
• Cons:  Option has such a small name overall that it's sometimes hard to find the board you want from them in the size you need.

• Name: 2007 Palmer Liberty Carbon Womens
• Pros:  This is by far the funnest womens board I've been on yet. I've tried a few others (not all) and none have compared to this one yet. This board is fun for playing and riding switch, and then flies when pointing it straight down the hill. This board is extremely stable at high speeds and holds an edge like no other.
• Cons:  May be a little stiff for some who aren't prepared.

Experience:   This board is no longer produced by Palmer, but if you find one on Ebay and are considering it, I strongly suggest not passing it up.
