K2 Va Va Voom - Day 2

I rode the K2 Va Va Voom Rocker 143 again yesterday, at Copper mountain. Same conditions as the first day, but no fresh snow on top of the groomers.

We went over to the Super Bee lift where we could ride steeps and through the trees, and my god, the VVV SUCKED ASS. We accidentally went over to where it was super choppy and bumpy... not moguls, but you know when people don't know how to ski, they push the snow into piles? Kind of moguls but not really. The VVV was so bumpy and chattery over that stuff, but it was stable on smooth runs. It did good in the powder in the trees, but I would not use this board for all over the mountain. It's manageable though, like, you can ride it there but I'd stick to the Duchess for both park and mountain... compared to the VVV, the Duchess was a hell lot smoother over those runs. Oh yeah, I dropped that small cliff on the VVV, hahaha.... it felt fine, but I still prefer the Duchess for that stuff.

I will hold onto the VVV for rails only, like the Ruby Hills Rail Yard here in Denvuhs.... they're opening on Saturday! Not sure now though, since the news said it'll be like 55 degrees... SHITTERCAKES.
