I rode this board over three days at 3 different resorts in Colorado. The first day was crusty and hard, typical mid-winter conditions at Copper. It took some getting used to going from a traditional length board to a volume shifted board. Riding felt a little weird in that it felt there like there is a delay to switch edges, and the board could lock-in on the flat section if the board isn't on edge. The crust and chop was more difficult to navigate since once the board was at speed it would buck around a bit. The next day was spring-like, slushy with hard spots in the shade. After adjusting to the width, this board was very easy to turn and charge the mountain with, down groomers or even in the moguls and trees snaking in and out of the troughs. After taking some groomed runs, I decided to take the board up into something steep and tight, North Chute and International at A-Basin. This board bounced down the face, trying to stop with the mix of harder snow, steep terrain and the softer board was very difficult. The last day was at Winter Park in the Mary Jane trees on a powder day. This is where the board truly excelled, powder and mellow lines meant this board could weave between trees, lock into carves and pop over pillows, effortlessly. This board is for the rider wanting to turn a powder day into a skatepark.
- Carving, lay a trench with EASE.
- Powder Float, stay on top of even waist deep powder.
- Turning, stay locked in on edge with relatively little effort.
- This board is soft and playful, it will get bucked around on steep terrain.
- Directional board, while it can ride switch it is not recommended.
- There is a learning curve due to width, a little slow edge to edge at first.
The Salomon Dancehaul is a wide, directional board that is made to be nimble and fun. It is a volume-shifted board that tries to emulate the shortboard from surfing. This is a fun board that is quick from edge to edge, a wicked carver, and great in fresh snow. It is perfect for the rider who is looking for a fun, creative, short-board that will slash turns, rip through the trees, and provide great turning ability all over the mountain.
Key Features:
- Rock Out Camber – The board is flat between the rider's feet for stability with camber underfoot and rocker at tip and tail. This gives the snowboard a lot of flex near the tip and tail but tons of stability underfoot.
- Radial Sidecut – The sidecut provides a consistent, fast response that performs well riding in both directions.
- Ghost Green Core – The core is made with great materials that combine pop and a lightweight feel.
- All Mountain Edge Bevel – A one to two-degree bevel in the sidecut delivers a solid edge with no hang-ups.
