- Nitro Squash Split Snowboard by Nitro Snowboards — This board is known as the “pow-groomer” killer. Short swallow tail along with a big spoon nose means this board floats in pow while staying nimble. This has been my daily driver for years and has unlocked some of the smoothest riding thanks to the thoughtful construction. 7/10 flex, with full camber that’ll never let your edges miss a beat. Efficient touring as well, great edge ability and surface area to keep you moving up in any conditions. I truly love this board!!
- Storm Splitboard by Venture Snowboards — If you want to optimize fun on a pow day, this is your board. Bringing back the old school build with a flat rocker profile will rock your world. I’ve seriously never had more fun on deep days, a perfect flex alongside a snappy receptive board to slash every wall or butter any drop. Floats incredibly well and within a few turns it feels like a board you’ve ridden for years… it just makes sense!! While capable everywhere it isn’t always the best on edge in hardback - so this is a quiver board not a one stop shop. Also, this is handmade in the USA - and not many brands can even fathom bringing craftsmanship stateside. A+ on durability, these bases never delam and are pretty dang tough.
