I demoed the Dropout, which is the men’s version of the Drop. definitely not a pow board, just a solid all-mountain board with a faux directional shape. similar to the US Horizon, but stiffer flex.

She loves it. It’s her second one. Had a 149 before the 152. Favorite board of all those four.
Perfect for her as a all mountain quiver of one board.
Finds it easy to ride in all conditions.
The others I have bought for her. She likes Orcas(animal) and that graphic not the hype.
Got the K2 unridden for less than 100usd.
She rode it for the first time today but will be going up for sale. Drop is the one.
Not really a true pow board. Would look for something else then.
appreciate the notes! how does she like that squash for pow days?

She use it for carving and speed, haven't had the opportunity to ride powder, which we unfortunately rarely do.
Kinda Nitro fangirl here I guess.

My active quiver (I've ridden all of them in the past 12 months, although Millisurf only for a test runs, but it's gonna be in use soon):

Image

Rome Stalefish 157. Fun board to carve on small resorts and should be fun in the spring slush. New addition, so not a lot of experience yet. I just can't stand the top sheet, so I might need to get some vinyl or something.
Rome Freaker 158. My park board. Great pop. Stiff and stable enough to use all over the resort in Finland. Not too many days with this either in normal winter conditions.
Nitro Suprateam 159. I really like this and I am sad to see it discontinued. It's quite stiff, aggressive and reactive, so not for everyone, every day nor every condition. This is what I rode mostly over the holidays. I just moved the binding over to the Banker.
Nitro Banker 159. If I had to choose only on board, it would be this. Suprateam is close second, but Banker has better shape for powder and is damper and bit less demanding to ride in some conditions. Although I am really happy with the 159 I would like to see a longer version. I also wish Nitro used this shape for a splitboard.
Powder Flower 165 split. Handmade by a small company in Finland. Designed for big mountains and open lines. 10,5 m sidecut and long EE. This was my only split for a long time. Down sides are that it's a bit heavy and of course not the most nimble.
Amplid MIllisurf 161. Newest addition. Can't say much so far, but should be good for splitting and hopefully also on the way down. I'll go on a three-week split trip in February and this will be my main board.
Nitro Team split 159. I was living in France for the last couple of years and bought this to use in the alps when mostly riding lifts but bringing skins along for just in case. It's cheap, surprisingly good on piste as a split and works well enough for me in powder.

I'm quite comfortable with this quiver and don't really feel the need to add anything (for now). I might be able to let go of the Team Split if I really needed to.
