Read the Protest thread. Then delete this thread.

I have both protest and powder boards. Ski the protest more but there’s no comparison, the powder boards are way more floaty/slarvy but obviously have the weirdness of full reverse/reverse. Powder boards also turn upside down pow into hero pow.

Ullr was on my short list, and I ended up ordering +10 GPOs. We'll see how good a decision this was in 6 months ;-)

Praxis BC in 180 vs Moment Wildcat 108 Tour in 184...which should I go with, TGR?!
(Fully expecting a suggestion of something completely and totally different).

182 UL GPO could be a good alternative to BC 180?
I have a set of 180 BC but never ridden them, but lots of time on 192 yeti and 192 GPO.

Powder boards rule. They are not actually true r/r though. They do have a straightish edge under foot and if skied like skates, ski fairly well back to the lift. Long flat run-outs can be a bitch tho. Spats and Splats are true r/r(wide spot is a point underfoot), which can be more tricky to ski.
How about a +10FRS?

What resort do you guys ski that you need powder skis?
At Squaw, you might get a run of untracked, if lucky.
Then you need a charger to ski the cut up snow, certainly not a powder board the way you guys define it.
