Summary:
The ST boards are designed for the aggressive advanced rider and have been proven in the past to be one of the customer favorites. If you like the back country, deep powder, and/or big cliff drops, this is the board for you. You won\'t be disappointed.
Review:
The Winterstick Severe Terrain 166 snowboard is a board that can speak for itself. It is Winterstick's most popular series, and has been voted among Transworld's top 25 boards since it was introduced. This board is for advanced and expert riders as its design reflects. It has Rockwell hardened edges and a Graphite Race Base which proved themselves when I rode at Silverton, Colorado this season. Silverton's has some of the most extreme terrain available at any resort in the United States. Despitethe number of rock and stump shots that the board took, the base and edges held up to the test.

The board is meant for aggressive big mountain riding. I'm a big boy, but the stiff flex and the 166 centimeters of length kept me on top of the powder with no difficulty. Also, the stiff flex helps in sticking landings off of big drops and launches. When landing in powder the natural response is to lean back. The stiff flex design of the ST series helps to bring that front foot down and ultimately helps riders stick those big mountain hits.
