Snowboard

This board is built for the creative rider who likes to have fun and wants to make the mountain their playground. I would gear this board towards an all-mountain freestyle rider, or purely all-mountain. I could also recommend this board for someone that has been riding the same board for the last 7-15 years, looking to stay close to traditional but yearning for some updated tech. This board has all the means to keep you happy on the hill, no matter your experience. If you’re someone that grabs their board and worries about conditions later, the Shadowban will treat you well. With amazing versatility and a fun personality, you've gotta take it out for a date, and see how you get along.

The feature-packed Season Pass is the most well-rounded splitboard I have owned, and I trust it on any backcountry adventure. A directional twin shape and medium flex are ideal for versatile performance, while its mid-wide waist width adds float and helps stop toe drag. The poplar/paulownia wood core and full ABS sidewall keep the ride feeling light and playful while preventing chatter in variable conditions. My favorite splitboard profile, classic camber, prevents skin track slipping and remains stable during descents. Although I prefer to ride the 163cm vs. my 157cm solid daily driver at the resort, the unisex sizing provides plentiful options for most people. And thanks to a sintered base, the Season Pass is super fast in all conditions, with my favorite Karakoram Ultra clips holding it all together! Additionally, I fell in love with the included pre-cut Pomoca Pro Glide skins, as they performed flawlessly and packed away efficiently. The skins were surprisingly grippy in steep sections yet maintained unmatched glide in the flats. Finally, metal inserts on the board's tail provide durable protection from rocks and trees, especially when hastily shoving it into deep snow before attaching skins during pre-work dawn patrol hot laps at our local touring spots. The Season Pass Splitboard is a highly recommended, dedicated backcountry tool, ideal for anyone looking to earn their turns and enjoy it too!

The Alpha is a high-performance boot that is built for aggressive skiers who want to optimize their performance fit, and demand more from their boots than the average skier. Whether that means you’re laying trenches on groomers, trying to beat some of your buddies down the mountain in a friendly competition, or maybe you want to hit some of those more technical lines you’ve been scoping at the local spot for a couple years, the S/Pro Alpha is the boot that can take you there. With the engineering that was clearly put into this boot, it would be hard to not expect the most out of it, and luckily for all of us skiers, it delivers.
