The swallowtail is great for deep pow. I don't bother whith it until there is 12" or more of light stuff. Even regular sierra cement dumps don't usually require a big board, but when you have a couple feet of lighter than average, it makes life easier... You can keep your weight more centered, less back, floats better on the low-angles run-outs, and lands drops in deep stuff a lot easier without having to worry about going over the handlebars... Only get's a bit sketch trying to hold an edge on ice, or maching on hardpack, but it's quite nice in the soft stuff... Oh, and the short tail makes for nice quick bottom turns through the tress on pow days... Quite nice... Makes for a lazy surfy day when others are wallowing in the deep stuff...
Anyway, now for some random photo's I took while sitting around on Friday...
