What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“Drop feels locked-in on groomers yet still floats when it’s deep. I like pairing it with the Sequoia—the System X baseplate keeps the board lively, the canted EVA footbed and Air Dampening tame chatter, and the convertible toe strap grips without hot spots. It’s precise without feeling punishing.”Who It’s ForIntermediate to Advanced Riders:Riders who want one setup for carving corduroy, dipping into trees, and chasing soft-snow stashes. If you value edge hold, predictable initiation, and all-day comfort, this board-and-binding combo hits the sweet spot. What It’s ForAll-Mountain Riding with a Powder Edge:Directional shape and setback help the Drop float on storm days, while Cam-Out Camber keeps turns stable on hardpack. Sequoia’s ergonomic highback, System X baseplate, and cushioned footbed smooth out long resort laps. Why We Like ItGrip, Float, and Smooth Dampening Together:Power Pods bite on firm snow and reduce toe drag; the poplar core and Bi-Lite laminate keep the ride lively; the sintered base carries speed. Sequoia adds natural stance alignment and reliable hold with its dual-injected ankle strap and UltraGrip convertible toe strap.
