I rode my Artifact all over the fucking place at Loveland last year, in fact I don't even really ride rails or boxes. It did well for the most part. In really choppy hardpacked stuff it would get a little hectic and I could feel it flopping around under my feet but it wasn't unmanageable. The only thing I can say I truly do not like about that board is that the edges can't take much of an all mountain beating. I didn't use the board for it's intended purpose though so that is my fault. If you keep it watch out for rocks because your edges will be gone in a week like mine were lol. I was in the same boat, wanted a soft board and my Artifact was CHEAP! Don't worry about it, ride the fuck out of it, beat the fuck out of it, and get another one next year.
