Riding this board since an few years and never found another one which is so good in every type of terrain and snow conditions!

Epic mountain charger! Stiff in all the right ways. For the straight liners and hard stompers out there

This board has all of the magic elements that make the Flagship shape special and turns it to 11. A real mahogany door of a board, it demands power and returns it 10 fold. The flagship pro is all business. If you want to experience ultimate stability while going as fast as you've ever gone, this is where you'll find it. Laying into committed turns at high speeds is a heroic act, and this board will help you do so.

I'm 46yo, 5"8/ 165 athletic, riding 75+ days/season on average for the last 25 years, mostly steep backcountry in France, Switzerland and some Japan pow. I've got a 161 25 FS Pro. I also rode my GF's 161 Ultra FS. I prefer the FS Pro for it's versatility in all conditions. It likes speed and absorbs terrain well. It'll draw long curves at mach2 in open pow fields. Point it straight down a bombed run and it just goes and eats everything up with zero drama. I haven't felt its limits yet. I love how lively and nimble it can also be in tighter scenarios, like narrow couloirs or forests below. It's balanced, allows spontaneous turns, slashes, and pops very well off features too. It took me a while to find the right stance. The reference stance is just way too wide! The trick for me was to narrow it down to 22inches (front binding on the set back pow stance) and back foot on the reference stance. It gives a very directional feel with a long nose and tons of float, poppy tail and in my opinion better grip on groomers, because both feet are within the camber section. Set up this way, it's a little weapon. The slight downside on hard groomers at full speed is feeling the nose's inertia a bit, because of all that set back. I'm talking ici runs here only. Otherwise it's damp, and perfect for pow. I read online that its character was too "serious" but I disagree, it's fun if you got the legs and the balls to push a bit. The FS Ultra feels similar but doesn't absorb terrain as well, it feels more "delicate" to handle and for me actually feels more tiring after a day riding hard than the FS Pro. My girlfriend loves it. She's also an advanced rider but about 25-30lbs lighter than me and it works great for her. The construction might have a role in this? Either way, this shape is very forgiving, inspires confidence and allows us to have fun in any conditions on the mountain. So don't be intimated, it'll reward you for trying. Great job @Jones!

I’ve been riding the Flagship Pro and its predecessors since the boards inception. It handles a variety of snow conditions with ease. I describe this board best as you can ride it at slow and medium speeds because it is lively and reactive, and when it’s time to charge hard it will never let you down!
