I'm reading a bunch of descriptions of the Raptor and having a hard time figuring out the true personality of the board. Seems like it's mostly meant for carving and charging down the hard pack, but there are various references to float in powder. These aren't generally things I typically associate with one another. Given that I already have the Trice it seems like these would be competing decks rather than complimentary. Sucks, b/c it's a pretty bad ass board and I'm a fan of the stealth look.

Can anyone who's ridden the Cobra speak to how if holds up in Pow vs like a Yes-PYL, Burton-Sherlock, K2-UltraDeam or other directional powder friendly boards? Could also throw the Heritage into the mix.

Too many good boards out there and I want them all!!!!!
