I've been told by some shop clerks that it's a pretty soft board for folks coming from an all-mountain background. Also, what's your size? I'm 6'4" 190 lbs. I'm looking to snag one with the end of the season prices. I'm used to a 168 Burton Canyon but want a softer board that I tool around a bit more yet still handle the steeps and deeps sufficiently. I'm hoping the 164 wide is long enough for me. Do you feel it's too soft for more all mountain riding?
