I've used my Cadet 95% of the time this season. The only other board I took out was my Cafe Racer. I leave the cadet in my car all the time.
Groomers and Pow, does so well in both. I really like how my 154 feels like it rides bigger than it is. I usually ride boards in the 157-160 size
I'd say only thing it's not good is east coast glades/trees, prob a bit stiff for that.
Berkshire East, slurpee snow from this Sunday.

What are your specs? I'll only grab a cadet when I find a solid deal, but not sure on 154 vs 158.

I just received my cadet in 162. so happy, can't wait to test it this weekend. finish is good.
I have it a little oversized because i was a little afraid it be too soft and at the end, not at all. Clearly not a 6 and more like my bankers or my instrument

very interested to hear how the 62 stacks up against the Banker. do you have a 159 of that one?

Still a little surprised they haven't added a larger banker
- probably would have had a 62 by now. Although at this point, assuming a 259 waist, I would be passing on it
Looking forward to your thoughts, despite different sizing

I got to check out some US decks including next seasons Transmission at 7B board shop in Idaho. The dude in the shop was hyped on them, he was loving his Cadet and really wanted to sell me a Horizon!
