Which board is better: the Supermodel or the Supermodel X? I love riding pow but due to my current location (Europe) I'm riding mostly groomers these days. I need a board that will perform on hard pack but on those infrequent pow days I want a board that can handle the deepness, especially high water content pow. I've ridden the Custom X before and loved it on groomers but found it a bit too stiff for tight turns in the woods or in deep pow. So which board would handle both conditions best?

Well the Supermodel X has pretty much the same core setup as the custom X. So it will ride much stiffer than the regular supermodel. If you want something to handle all conditions, stick with the regular supermodel, it will be much more forgiving.
