25/26 season review

#powder

A freeride-specialised board with C3 directional camber and Magnetraction, providing excellent edge grip and control in powder and all-mountain settings. Its long nose and setback position give it outstanding powder float, and carbon Power Bands add strong responsiveness.

It's a dependable high-performance board that Olympic champion Jamie Anderson favours as her dedicated freeride board.
