Hello I am working at BigSky resort in Montana and funds are pretty slim. I can get a Volkl RT for a really good price but have no experience on one please tell me what you all think. Thank you very much

Who would have thought standing on my saucer sled would have gone this far?
I've never been on one either, but here's specs, they should give you some more food for thought:

The 178 looks like it would be a lot of fun for XC stuff, given the 12.5m sidecut. The 173 will turn a bit tighter but if you're starting out it could be a good thing, you won't need to go quite as fast to get leaned over. Both are little narrow by Jacque's & Patrice's standards, but 19cm is pretty common for Alpine boards in general.
If you need a carving board and the price is right, it seems like a good choice. Hopefully someone with some hands-on experience (or is that 'feet-on' experience) can give you some better input though.
