Glad you caught that. You would had been in for a big surprise! Here is the simple answer for your dilemma. If you want to keep the board for ONLY powder, it would npt be too bad, but at resort mountains, even on the best powder days you encounter packed trails and that's where you will really notice the loss of leverage. You will not be able to get up on the edge easily and it is harder to balance there. Most likely will ware you out in a couple runs = no fun.
