I am Nidecker user since I started snowboarding in 2005, mainly freeride using Platinum. I love powder, but since Platinum are no longer produced, I have changed to Megalight this year (2023). I considered the Ultralight, but the all-mountain part of the Megalight was key for choosing this board, as I stay in the slopes when riding with my family.
With this said, this board will bite you on the slopes if you are not focused on your ride, it is very reactive and wants to be tamed, she wants powder, it's built for it, and since this season has been too hot in Europe, the resorts are packed with hard snow on the top and wet at the bottom, making your ride more physical, so, if you keep your ride checked, she will perform beautifully, sharp turns, nice buttering, switches, it let's you pop good olllies, but nollies were harder, at least for me.
This time I didn't go the park, age is catching up with my knees, but I did few tricks and jumps and the board feels light and sturdy.
Also, I did manage to get some "powder", and this thing glides on it.. is easy to keep the nose up and turns are clean, I enjoyed a lot,
All-in-all, I am happy with the Megalight, it performs nicely. Thanks Nidecker.
