What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I took the Back/Slash out on mixed conditions and it kept me smiling. It bites on hardpack when you lay it over, then feels loose and surfy when the snow stacks up. In tight trees the shorter length is a cheat code, and the base carries speed across flats. It is the board I grab when I want quick turns and dependable control."Who It's ForIntermediate to Expert Directional Riders:Ideal for riders who want one board for carving days, storm days, and everything between. Suits a front foot driving style with a preference for powerful arcs and fast, smooth transitions. What It's ForAll Mountain Freeride with Daily Driver Focus:From early groomers to tracked powder, the Back/Slash is tuned for resort versatility. It slashes side hits, holds a powerful line on edge, and has the nose length and taper to stay lively in soft snow. Why We Like ItShort Board, Big Performance:The design balances agility and confidence. Setback camber loads the sidecut for strong grip, the long nose keeps the ride quiet and buoyant, and the stout mid flex lets you push without getting bucked. It is simple, fast, and effective.
