Carving is a lot of fun, whether it's on groomer or in powder.
Laying down hard carving trench diggers on perfectly manicured groomer with a dedicated carving board is hard to beat. And if you live somewhere that has mile wide, rolling, uncrowded groomers that stay flat and beautiful all day, then full on carving boards are an option for hard core carving.
Unfortunately realty is different from the dream. More often than not you're riding on a Saturday, on a mountain that becomes quickly crowded, and the conditions turn to patchy ice plates interspaced with death cookies and slush bumps criss crossed by beginner skiers on your "expert slope".
This is one of the things the Cafe Carver is for. Whether you intend to ride it with an aggressive angled stance, or a more relaxed powder set-up, this fantastic board turns those irregular slope conditions into a carving fest.
Jump onto powder, and you have a mind blowingly fast board that is quick to float to the surface, maintains its speed even through flat sections even in deep conditions, and loves to make wide sweeping powder turns in those big open bowls.
Don't be mislead by its length which has an edge length comparable to a carving board 20cm shorter. The long progressive nose rocker is there so you can duck off into the trees and powder when the opportunity presents itself, while the shortened running edge length combined with medium flex, and compressible tail mean you can carve a short radius turn on a dime at even slow speeds.
You know you're a speed lover. Your friends know it... heck even ski patrol knows it... but now you can get your carve on, in the most varied and imperfect conditions, without getting frustrated.
