      Dear Frosty – I've decided to go with one of these 2 boards.  They are both similar in cost (Elite-$360, Se7en-$380).The Elite seems more groomer based and the Se7en seems more park based, but the Se7en also has better specs and seems like a better board.  (But the Elite is even core profile and the Se7en is positive core profile which is better for carving and freeride).I won't be in the park that much, mainly be ridin down the mountain with a few jumps and boxes.Could I use the Se7en as a freeride board or would I be better just stickin with the Elite?Thanks for everything.

        Tough choice dude.  They are both really nice rides and I am sure would both work nicely for you.  The specs are very similar.  The Se7en is a True Twin board while the Elite is a Directional Twin.  This mainly means that if you set up the bindings for all-mountain riding, you may have to set them towards the tail 3-4cm on the Se7en to give you the longer nose that's beneficial in powder.  The Elite has that built in already.
