The All Around Is mainly a beginner to intermediate snowboard. I felt that the extruded 1000 grade P-Tex base was not very durable, and did not hold wax very well. My reason for this board being a beginner to intermediate is that it was pretty flexible, and did not seem to go very fast.(a result of the low-grade P-TEX) But don't get me wrong, this board is not a piece of junk. It would be great for those on a budget, or someone who is not a very aggresive rider. As for turning, it turns fairly easily, and can hold an edge pretty good, but if you get going to fast on rough hard pack, it's pretty sketchy. Pow is not a problem with the semi-wide construction and having a long, gradual nose. I rode the board through the park, pipe, and big pow, and found it best in the soft stuff. For jumping, it seemed pretty easy to control as it is light, and fairly easy to land. Overall, the All Around is a decent board, but if you are looking for an aggressive board for ripping the mountain, try a pro model or something stiffer.
