Summary: Burton 170 Omen Split
RIP Craig, you will be missed!!!
I have been all over on this thing and i do love it. I have been on both the voile model and burton's, neither are perfect.
I have always have had a problem with the heal riser system. It gets worn out and slips. This is very frustrating when climbing the steeps and your heal constantly slips. Also the attachment mechanism at the toes (in split mode) gets worn out too. I have way too much play, and i constantly worry that it is going to break in the backcountry without a easy way to fix it. Most likely there is no easy way to fix it in the shop! I also think the voile skins are better as well, but his is probably a matter of opinion.
I must say the mechanism that holds the boards together is much more sturdy than voile resulting in a more solid ride. The board rarely feels like a split when riding.
I have been on the phone with burton getting replacement parts a few time, and i need to call them asap, snow fell in shasta, and tahoe and it is only oct 20!

Summary: Ok so I am not sure what's up with 2 supposedly different people writing the same reviews. Uh Burton, if you are trying to plant phony reviews on a site make sure it at least comes across as legit. We aren't morons.
The first trip out this board sucked. Within the first few runs both levers had snapped off in the cold (-17 C isn't cold either). But that was OK because the levers were way too short to be effective anyway. There was little opportunity to get enough leverage to lock the system down. After WD-40ing the binding plate it was somewhat easier but I had to do it every night or there was no way I could close it. I used opposite ski's so I didn't catch the latches on every step which was OK but the constant contact of each ski wore dow

Summary: This snowboard rocks. allows for you to ride anywhere. i have tried to go back country on snowboards before and it was a lot harder that on this board. dont get me wrong, it was still challenging, but the board did a lot of work also, so i didnt get as tired, so i could ride longer. i have rode K2 and similar boards from them, and they do not compare.
