Just got back from riding this board for two weeks in Niseko. We had deep powder days, we had ice and everything in between. This board handled it all and was only hampered by my own limitations.
Riding deep powder was a breeze. Carving on icy groomers with confidence. The split tail does not hinder switch riding either. Taking this baby through one of the gated off "back-country" areas at Niseko is sheer joy.
Considering buying another to store in case I wreck my current one! Suteki des! Sugoy! Subarashi! Awesome board.

Haven't ridden the board yet, but I can comment on the build quality - which seems top notch. The topsheet just looks so classy with it's minimalist, stark design. According to print on the topsheet it's handmade in Artes, Spain.
I have photos in a Facebook album (photos of my low-end mountain bike in there too) here:
