This board was developed for guys who want to enjoy all-mountain riding without dragging their toes. The Burton King is a twin-tipped design built to free-ride with enough flex for intermediate and recreational riders. I am an respectable rider who enjoys powder hunting and I have found this board above average for powder riding. With my previous board I had a bit of heel-drag and I was able to remedy that with this board. The King is made of a two-layer Biax fiberglass structure that takes you down the mountain with predictable Burton performance and an exceptional edge. I purchased my board a 167, at Sports Authority for a fair price of $295.00. I would recommend this board to anyone who is looking for a wider free-ride/powder board.
Pros: WIDE, does well in powder, fair price
Cons: Width limits control on groomed trails
Overall: I would by this board again for the money but my next board will probably be more advanced lighter board. I rated it 8 out of 10
