snowboarding








Backcountry and powder snowboards are directional shapes built to do one thing exceptionally well — ride deep, variable, untracked snow. Wider noses, setback stances, taper from nose to tail and rocker profiles that keep the tip above the surface in soft snow. These boards are not all-mountain compromises. They are specialist tools for specific terrain.
Frequently Asked Questions
They are directional shapes built to ride deep, variable, untracked snow. Wider noses, setback stances, taper from nose to tail, and rocker profiles that keep the tip above the surface in soft snow. These are specialist tools for specific terrain, not all mountain compromises.
Yes, but shape selection matters. Australian powder tends to be denser and wetter than Japanese Japow or Colorado champagne powder. Mid width boards with meaningful setback and early rise rocker handle our conditions better than ultra wide rockered shapes designed for lighter snow.
On the deep days at Mt Hotham, Falls Creek and Mt Buller, the morning after a significant snowfall when the off piste is untracked, and in Australian backcountry terrain accessible by splitboard or touring.
Jones, Korua, Lib Tech, Burton and YES all have strong directional and powder shapes. Come in and talk to us about the conditions you ride most and we will match you to the right shape.
