them
all year round. They're great for riding in powder and parks, and the 98mm center provides stability even on granular snow in the spring.
●The review
board features rocker at the top and camber at the tail. This gives the impression that it provides firm edging on the snow surface when carving, allowing for sharp turns.
With a center of 98mm, it is a semi-fat board that provides a sense of buoyancy in powder. For park rides, it has just the right amount of flex and lightness, making it easy to handle and a board you can have fun on all day. I enjoy using this board in everything from powder to parks and free runs. It's the perfect ski for those who want to try a variety of skis on one board.

●Situations in which it is often used (season, location, conditions, etc.):
I use it all year round, mainly when riding in the park.
●Review:
I think these boots can be worn all day without tiring you out and maintain their performance.
They're soft and lightweight, and they transmit your movements directly to the board without getting in the way. They
're perfectly maneuverable off-piste or in a little pow on the side of the slopes
Recommended for those who want to enjoy both the park and the slopes.

I use it all year round, mainly for park rides and free runs.
I love the snap feeling when attaching the boots to the bindings.
There are few mis-releases and it seems to release accurately in dangerous situations.
