It can be harsher at times, but the focus of the board is to be more responsive when ridden aggressively. And to add a personal anecdote, I ride a Salomon Assassin (~5/10 flex) and a Burton Deep Thinker (~7/10 flex). I’ve taken both boards into the mid 50s and they felt very different. On fairly smooth snow, I felt the tip and tail of my Assassin chattering pretty bad and not keeping much contact with the snow.

The Salomon Assassin with Burton Malavitas. I think I read a hundred reviews and watched a dozen videos on all kinds of boards. Eventually I was deciding between this, Burton Process FV and the Capita DOA. I chose this because I think it comes closest to what I want from an all mountain board.

Some great examples are Capita DOA, k2 party platter, Salomon assassin, Rossignol One LF, yes standard, neversummer harpoon,.
