my girlfriend has the envi and she loves it.

if you look up reviews, you can check out the ones for the
skate banana, it has the magna traction as well and has tones
of reviews. the only thing is that alot of people that ride lib tech
put them into the "god of snowboards" section, when its really not.

i ride a regular board which im really comfortable on, and ive ridden
my girls roxy a few times and the only thing i can say is its more
responsive on easy turns than a regular snowboard. it makes the
low speed easy turns almost like a skateboard instead of a slow
sliding turn of a snowboard.

if you get the envi, the magna traction pretty  much has no cons.
its different, but not different enough where it'd take a day or
more to get used to it. maybe a few light runs. as far as cons
for the overall board, its a well built one. but as with any snowboard,
theres going to be SOMETHING you dont like about it.

my only con, its light and poppy and feels like a rail killer, but has a
sintred base which is hard to repair so it almost makes rails a no no.

hope this helps.

we live out here on the ice coast, so thats all we know 
and she does fine. i dont know if its the board or if its the fact
that she learned on hardpack/ice...sorry.

she had k2 charm bindings for the past season and thought it was ok,
but she really liked my ride ex bindings when she rode them on her board,
so next year shes going with the ride girls LXh and forums melody boots.
she rode rossi boots before from the rental shop. hasnt gotten a chance
to try the new ones out.

my best friends brother goes to college in vermont! not sure where but
we're going up there next winter for some riding! do you guys have a
street scene?

my god the lift tickets are expensive! the park looks amazing but if i lived up there i would
be broke in a few days haha. but thats really somewhere i want to try. 2 half pipes! sweet 

did you have a pipe last year?

and whats with the crazy hours? 9am - 4pm? thats kinda sad 
ours is 8am - 4am and our $40 lift ticket lets you ride the whole time.
