It keeps the aggressive nature of the Mountain Pig for hard charged turns, carving and snow plowing whilst giving a more agile back end for a more forgiving turn initiation. The half moon rear end helps sink the tail and lift the nose up to float effortlessly in the deepest of powder and the long effective edge and tapered side cut makes this a carving weapon. The board might appear large but it is super lightweight with Carbon Slim Walls with a responsive Carbon infused Glass construction making for a responsive, robust and poppy ride.
