Being shorter and wider, this board is meant to rip anywhere on the mountain. It floats through powder with no effort due to its lengthy nose and is easily maneuverable through tight trees. Having a true camber profile holds an edge whether you’re on the groomers, or charging steep powder lines.
Medium flex offers quick response and reactivity to turns on any type of terrain and is forgivable enough that you will not notice chatter when riding at high speeds. The wider waist this board has eliminates the chances of toe drag while offering stability for edge-to-edge carving.
All in all, this was one of our favorites to test. This board goes fast and is easy to control under any snow condition we rode it through. Riding powder felt surfy and effortless while riding on the groomers was fast and controllable. But it’s the backcountry where this freeriding board excels.
Turning edge to edge was easy and sustaining an edge hold while going fast felt easy. We recommend this board to anyone looking to float through powder, take the piste not taken and have fun on the groomers too.
