The board is light weight, very quick, mid to stiff flex and has very good pop. Its a good all round mountain board from powder to piste (not tried it in the park). Not sure when they say the magne traction turns ice into powder to me it felt like any other board with edges.
The board is aimed at intermediate and advanced riders.
The only downside is the cost.

Have always wondered about the difference that magne traction makes, from what you said i take it that magne makes not much difference?

don't get me wrong the edge hold is very good when the slope is hard packed.

Ah, is it worth going from a standard edged board to a magne traction one if upgrading though?
When i experience ice patches on my current board, i just let it slide until i can turn again, would be nice to have some control

like any board sharper the edges when hitting ice the better. as they say there is 7 points of contact with magne traction and if the edge is sharp then it should be better. if you are going to buy a lib tech then get one with it.
i got the board for the board and not just for the magne traction.
