    That sounds like it could be what I looking for then. If they need a centered stance though they may be more similar to the 4FRNTs than the corvus. Corvus need to be driven through the tips mostly.

    Yeah the corvus (non-freebird) is flat underfoot with rocker tip and tail. It rips. I was hoping to find something similar for the backcountry. Beast 108 seems promising?

    If so, and if anyone is willing to part with one I would greatly appreciate it.

    Anyone skied the Tracer 118s and have an opinion on them? I've scoured the internet but haven't found much on them except for your basic write ups. Look like they could be a lot of fun.
