    Anyone ridden a Salomon Definition?
    I have been infected with a snowboard buying bug. I recently sold two boards to thin down the quiver and immediately after I purchased a new board at a terrific price. The board I purchased is a Salomon Definition 160. I am wondering if anyone else has ridden this board and could tell me what are the strengths and weeknesses of this model? I was very impressed with an older Salomon 550 that I rode a few years back and am wondering how it compares to the Definition. Salomon no longer makes the Definition and I was wondering what current model is most like the Definition?

    Thanks for the info. Shred the rad, Darius

    I have a been surviving off beat up used 550's I buy off of ebay for the last few years, but they are getting harder to find! I absolutely love the 550. I have heard that the definition has a little less pop then the 550, almost a little too stiff, but I haven't ridden one, this is just talk from reps, etc. I am totally out of the loop now, so have no idea what has replaced the definition. I wish they went back to the numbers system. It made it easier. You knew that a 550 was stiffer than a 450 and that fr or fs mean free ride, free style. Now I hear the name of a board and it means nothing to me!
