US East coast guy, so rarely get much powder; just a handful of days a year. Looking for a good turner on groomers with a directional shape and freestyle flex and feel. It sounds like they might be the ticket. I’ll post my thoughts once I get it on snow.

I think it will be great for those conditions. They are designed in Norway, so: smaller hills, often icy. The one I had was one of my all time favourite boards to turn, nothing special going on shape or construction wise, just that predictable engagement and hold of camber and a sharp edge.

I've carried that same pair on every road trip I've taken over the last 3 years. I've got other boards that I really like too, but between those two they cover all the bases in every condition.

(sorry for the thread jack)
I just wish I got the 155 Banked instead of the 159 and kept the Dart (I sold it in a moment of stupidity).
What are your specs? I want to try a banked but not sure if I'm going to look for a 55 or 59. I'm 155lbs, 8.5 boot, 5'9"

I"m 5'10" and 185 and the 159 Banked is about perfect for me, for your specs I think the 155 would be great. I wouldn't worry about it being too soft, these Banked Countries are pretty stout while not at all too boardy or lifeless.
