Thanks for your helpful response. Being that it is geared more towards the advanced rider, what problems would I run into if I went with this verses a board designed for a beginner/Interm. rider? I mostly plan on riding groomers, Powder, and some small jumps.

They only problem you would run into at all would be it being it feeling a little to stiff for you. When this happens it feels more like the board is riding you, rather you riding it. When they are stiffer boards it takes more energy to get them from edge to edge and that is when the board can feel like to much. But like I said I would rate this a 7 out of 10 which is not overly stiff and also DC makes very freestyle oriented boards that are not made to be to hard to ride. The only other drawback that you may see is that this has a twin shape. All mountain boards have a more directional shape and generally the stance is set one inch back. This means the nose of the board is one inch longer than the tail so that is floats better in the pow. Hope that helps a little more.
