I needed a replacement for my Winterstick All Mountain board, and
I was having a very hard time finding a board with similar specs
in the 159/161 range. Then I stumbled upon the Exile, and the 160
was a virtual twin. Very few boards have a long edge and narrow
sidecut, especially in todays 'norm' of large radius sidecuts. This was important for me as I needed something very responsive
for narrower trails, but not extra stiff.
Ride was marketing this board more towards park and pipe, which
I no longer do, but it goes great anywhere on the mountain. I've
had it in vermont about 25 days, 5 in Tahoe and 4 at Copper. It
rides smooth and is very responsive (especially good when avoiding
clueless skiiers at the ends of runs). The one thing I might do
is make it a tiny bit stiffer, but only a tiny bit.
