The Rossignol Krypto is a directional all-mountain snowboard, and it is an exclusive design available only at Backcountry. AmpTek Auto-Turn, a 70/30 blend of rocker and camber, keeps the edges catch-free and the turns easy to start. Within the soft flex, the rear foot and waist stay firmer for stability while the front foot stays a touch more supple to smooth turn entry. That combination makes the Krypto a forgiving Rossignol snowboard for beginner to intermediate riders working on cleaner turns. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"On a steeper blue run, a friend new to the sport drifted wide mid-turn and skidded out of it instead of catching an edge. The next pitch they rode with a quicker, rounder turn. That progression is what I look for in a first board."
