Interesting review great to see the comments as well.

I have been comparing the NS Vs K2.

My board options are F1-R 157, SlR 158 and the TD 159.

What is your opinion for the best board for all mountain. You mentioned the NS handle better on hardpack ice. Would you say for a more stable ride in the pow, trees, groomers and ice that NS is the better choice?

My riding is mainly fast free ride.

Thanks Shay lots to think about here..

p.s have a look at that new Rossignol Angus pretty cool 2!

Hi Shay,

I usually ride a 156 cambered board, but I have heard that some rocker boards feel smaller than the actual size. Would you recomend going a size up?

I’ve rode the SL-R more in powder than the Turbo Dream. If you want a powder board, I’d go for the gyrator. That’s my powder board and completely happy with it for the big powder days. Handles better in pow than the SL-R or Turbo Dream. The rocker on the gyrator makes it super easy to float and your nose is already up.

Hi Shay,

Bouncing a question off of you if you don’t mind since you have tried the K2 Turbo Dream and the Never Summer SL-R. Did you like one more than the other in powder? I got a Bataleon which I’ll use on icy days but looking for a powder board. I have the SL-R and I like it. In looking at the tech I wonder if the K2 is a little better on POW as the rocker starts from the bindings as oppose to the SL-R being somewhat flat when you put your weight on it. Your feeback appreciated!!! Thanks..

Good question Hoon, I didn’t play with the stance when I rode it and I believe it was adjusted center to center.

just getting to this one. the question is: the stance is 3/4″ set back so do they recommend mounting it center-center to adjust for the set back or follow the slight set back.

I’d use it for fun or powder…definitely not the best of the new tech boards for the hardpacked icy days. The lib/gnu’s and ns’s hold up better on those days than the k2′s.

would you consider using this board as an everyday board or is it too powder/softsnow specific. i´m really looking for a freeride board to use this season at kicking horse witch means a fair share of ice/hardpack. but i am a sucker for new techs
