Closing day here too. A little bumpy underneath from yesterday, but more new snow, pretty fun morning.
Slush cup was fun as well. I'll post a video later

Got on a few 24/25 models this weekend. Conditions were total mashed potatoes. But the K2 Almanac was a pleasure to ride. And the Ride Moderator was another.

The conditions were total mashed potatoes spring conditions, so can only speak to how it rode in that.
Replaces the party platter so I only sized down 3cm and rode the 157. It plowed thru the heavy slush without getting bucked around to much not damp or super lively but right in the middle.
Flex wise was middle of the road in-between the feet with good torsional flex. Nose was softer and easy to play around on, seemed to stiffen up in the tail
Easy to get on edge and could lay into it pretty good without over powering it . Not sure what the specs are on it for sidecut and taper but it rode switch with easy, even with the pinched in looking tail.
Had a decent amount of pop and spring out of the turn to it.
Guessing spec wise it's pretty similar to the outgoing party platter but with more camber and/or updated core materials to give it some more mustard while still being playful . (Demoed a PP a couple years back and this rode waaaay better IMO).
Overall I really liked it compared to some other boards I demoed over the 2 days and would like to get on it in some firmer conditions to see how it rides.

First post-chairlift day. Split up to "high east," one of two highest points at Eaglecrest. Snow was incredibly good… dry, and it's staying fairly cold at night, so it doesn't get too sunbaked even though it's hitting 50°F up top. Rode my line at 4:45pm - top right corner in second photo
