Review Detail
I picked this board up from my local shop after i decided to have a bash at free riding, OK Contract are a local company as i live in Poland so wanting to support local businesses etc.

"The nose on the Code Yeti is wider and longer than the tail for increased deep snow flotation, burly stability, and smooth turning. The dynamic combo of directional shape, zero camber profile, and enormous 20 meter progressive sidecut radius protects you from drowning in the deep stuff and ensures a smooth and easy ride."*Taken from their website**
Strengths
The board was a pleasure to ride off piste and floated nicely over the fresh pow which fell the other day! Being a freeride board the binding fixing are set slightly further back to help the board to nail the pow and that had a great help as I'm quite a heavy bloke!
Weaknesses
Although it is described as a board suitable for slaying the pistes, personally i didn't feel it! I took it on a narrow 2km which i normally carve my way down - I just couldn't nail it on any occasion with this board.
Similar Snowboards Ridden
I've ridden a few contract boards (at a test session) I also own one of their old pre-snake tech boards. BUT this board by far nails the tricky tree ridden runs with perfect precision which is exactly why i bought it!
