These boards are very similar to the Salomon Buzz, however they were marketed to younger and more extreme riders. Propellers are fun but slow. They are wider then most other Salomon models but are still too thin to thin to go through powder. They are short and very nimble. Half-pipe is the best place to feel their full potential. You can get lots of air and the landings in the half-pipe will not kill you. My favorite part about any Salomon but especially the Propeller, is the bindings. They can literally be adjusted in seconds to any size. This gives the rider many options. you can move the ski boot all the way back so you can enjoy the most speed and groomed runs. Or you can move the mounting position all the way forward so it is in the near perfect center of the Snowblade. That will give you better balance for executing tricks. These are probably the best pair of Skiboards to have if you only skiboard a couple of times each year.
