How do they compare when it's not 2' of fresh fluffy powder? More specifically, 7 miles in on nasty moguls & then jumping & playing on cornices & drainages in Washington cascade snow (Tampico area). Usually 8-12" of fresh powder, but heavy. That is 80% of my riding, 2' of fluff is not common.
The Alpha is easier to ride all around. Traction is unmatched.
My only issue is on the trail. Can't get enough snow in between the hifax and track. I'll void my warranty if i clip the right paddles......
I still went on a trail ride with the family, no issues.

U would want to upgrade the shocks for the moguls.
