What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying"This is a serious board for serious terrain. The System Camber platform gives you real power through turns, and the Grip Tech edges dig in on icy steeps without feeling grabby. It's stiff enough that beginners would struggle, but if you're comfortable on aggressive freeride lines, it rewards you. The added nose length makes a noticeable difference in deep snow."Who It's ForAdvanced to Expert Backcountry and Resort Riders:The GPS is designed for experienced riders who charge hard terrain: steep resort lines, technical backcountry, and big-mountain environments. With a stiff flex rating, this is not a forgiving board for developing riders. It suits those who prioritize power, precision, and edge control over playfulness, and who are comfortable riding in demanding, variable conditions. What It's ForBackcountry and Advanced Resort Riding:Built to perform in the most technical environments, the GPS excels on steep resort runs and backcountry terrain where edge hold and directional float matter most. The added nose length and tapered outline help it handle deep snow, while the System Camber platform drives power through every turn on hardpack. Resort groomers, backcountry powder, and aggressive mountain lines are all in its wheelhouse. Why We Like ItHigh-Performance Construction with Backcountry Intent:The GPS is built around a Highland III Core with Double Carbon Stringers for torsional stiffness and snap, topped with Real Wood Powerply for a lively, responsive feel. Grip Tech edges provide extra hold on ice and firm snow, while 360deg Fully Wrapped Sidewalls add durability for rocky, variable backcountry terrain. The sintered base is fast and accepts wax well. The Offset Fender shaping at 5deg nose and 3deg tail, combined with a 1. 9cm taper, keeps this board riding true at speed and floating cleanly in powder.
