High-End Board for Groomers only
Hey everyone :)
I'd love to hear what board you consider some of the best snowboards to bomb down groomers and lay down steep carves on hard, almost icey slopes.
Price doesn't matter and in this case I don't really care about versatility. Obviously cheaper is appreciated. I must say, I would probably prefer a board which is aggressive, but not to a point where you MUST ride it with 4x RedBulls consumed. I like being able to also lay down a chill run. Like the Ski equivalent of what I am not looking for is a worldcup FIS slalom ski, if you've ridden one you know what I mean.
I know these things are contratictory. The very best suited boards to lay down carves will exhaust you just looking at them.

For context, I've been snowboarding for 15 years now and have 30+ resort days every winter on top of doing ski mountaineering in the Alps. The past few years I've mostly been riding a NeverSummer Chairman Board with 0° basebevel and 88° sidebevel for a mixture of grip on groomers and durability in powder.
I chose and liked it because it is quite versatile. It performed 70% as well on groomers as a groomer board only. It also performed 70% as well in powder as a full powder board. And that flexibility is what I liked for a day in the resort with friends and spontanuously going off piste (Europe stlye ;)
I'd consider myself a very advanced rider, though everyone and his grandmother calls themself "advanced" on the internet, so take it for what it is haha
A good friend of mine just got a Capita BSOD, very exited to try it out soon but I haven't been able to for now.
