What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I rode the Cascade on a mix of conditions-powder up high, wind crust in the middle, and firm snow near the trailhead-and it crushed every section. It's light and quick on the skin track, but still feels solid and powerful when descending. The carbon springs add a lively snap to turns, and the freeride camber gives me dependable edge hold when things get sketchy."Who It's ForAdvanced to Expert Backcountry Riders:Made for riders who thrive beyond the resort gates, the Cascade is ideal for experienced snowboarders who demand a blend of touring efficiency and downhill performance. Its balanced flex and directional shape suit confident riders who chase steep lines, variable snow, and wide-open powder fields. What It's ForAll-Mountain Touring and Freeride Exploration:Built for exploring every face and ridgeline, the Cascade Splitboard shines in deep powder, mixed conditions, and technical terrain. Its freeride camber profile grips on climbs and carves precisely on descents, while tip and tail rockers add float and forgiveness for all-day versatility. Why We Like ItLightweight Power, Stability, and Responsiveness:We love how the Cascade delivers that elusive mix of agility and power. The poplar and paulownia core keeps the board featherlight underfoot, while Carbon Springs(TM) and a triaxial fiberglass layup maintain stiffness and rebound. Polyurethane sidewalls absorb chatter for smoother riding, and the graphite sintered base guarantees high-speed glide no matter the snowpack.
