Good luck with your progression! Mullet for powder sounds good! I'll definitely try the DK bindings, those are on the list.

TWS Good Wood covers all the boards, but the Best of Test is dependent on riders and what they have ridden which won't be every board. It would be interesting to see the list of boards that the riders have been on and then the boards they selected. There's no way to know the whole list of boards tested, which I wish both mags would put out...like here's the boards ridden and here's the winners. No test is perfect though, it is fun to see the different takes on them. Alexander, totally I keep hearing good things about machete so can't wait to ride it either. Grill, I'll add DH2 to the list for reviews this year, sounds like it's another good option from Ride for this season. I'm not surprised on the vapor but that's my opinion, I think it is ideal for pipe. Interesting points Keither…I agree on some.

I highly rate the Decoy and am a big fan of the Jibpan (noodle? hardly, the Draft is a noodle), but I found the C2 I tested felt slow and muted compared to the SL-R. Slayblade and the Rossi Jones are fantastic too. I'm a bit surprised that the Machete is so high on the list as I feel the DH2 rides better. I can't take TWS seriously as long as they continue to insist that the Vapor is the top pipe board. @keither – Different strokes.

The Snowboarder magazine Best of Test is very biased and inaccurate. The TWSNOW Good Wood test is actually done by people in the industry who have been riding almost all their lives. Not some shop kid trying to land a flow sponsorship. I never really trust shop kids they're always trying to sell their favorite product or themselves for that matter. Rossi Decoy? come on! K2 JibPan as #1? That thing is a noodle. Obviously some jibkid tested it ONLY on rails because that board is junk on anything else. TWSNOW Good Wood all the way. Did they even test any of the C2 Power Bananas? Talk about a popularity contest, the shop kids just pick what board company they like best.

I am hoping to demo some boards this year but my short list is those two and Never Summer SL-R. Looking forward to your take on the Slayblade and Machete.
