This is a decent board. The previous review comment about how "You get what you pay for, and you get quality that will last forever with Voile".
Well, Burton only makes the deck while voile makes all the clips and accessorries to the board. My deck has been problem free (used it back country hiking for upwards of 100 miles over the past several seasons) and have only had problems with the VOILE accessories.
I have this in a 162 I am 5'10" and 180 lbs. I ride fine on pow days with this board, I ride fine on spring conditions going back country, but I have a HECK of a time on the groomers. This board is for back country use only and fatty pow days. On the groomers, I find the nose and tail clips come undone with the constant fibrations from the ice and chunk. So the board litteraly becomes "split" and is almost impossible to carve with.
Buy if you are a serious back country enthusiast or if your local hill has nice bowls to hike to such as whistlers Symphany Bowl.
