I bought the T.Rice on a whim replacing a Ride 156 Mikey Leblanc(2004). I purchsed it for the slightly deeper side can than the TRS. Anyway here's the review:
Magnetraction - first time i tried it - works very well, others on the Hill(Blue Mountain, Ontario) were complaining of icey spots - I didnt notice any until I started lokoing for them.
Powder - floated nicely
Trees - Floated though easy to turn
Groomers - Very easy to intiiate turns and power carve
Feels stable at high speeds, easy top break loose and butter.
Only negative is that it didnt have quiate as much pop as I expected, but it was still enough for me.
