Why would anybody buy a board shaped like a sausage? Can you actually ride it on the piste?

Hey Marcus,
It’s been scientifically proven that sausages float very well in deep snow. On the flip side a reverse sidecut wouldn’t be a great deal of fun on a piste. This board is for those serious powder riders who hike or use a sled to get to their stash. I really can’t wait to shred one of these boards….but AK, Jackson Hole and Japan are a long way away!
