Uses: bad conditions to a few inches of fresh, groomers, steep ice, chasing skiers, trees, natural features, occasional kickers, no park
Beefs with the Billy Goat: I'm not sure why but it feels like turning cruise ship it's so slow to turn. I have a stiffer board that doesn't take as much muscle to turn. If I end up on steep mogul fields it's an absolute nightmare. It's really only comes alive on groomed blues. I think I would prefer true camber over C3. It sucks in powder, but I have other boards for pow days.
Things I like about it: The mild serrated edge is nice for icy patches. It's stiff and damp and blows through chunder. Despite CRC profile feels mostly camber. Carves good, holds an edge.
Stats: 5'10, 175#, sz 9
I demoed a Flagship at one point that seemed to be similar to the Billy Goat but do everything slightly better. The BG is getting relegated to rock board status.
Thanks in advance for recommendations.
