The new Fish 3D directional flat top board builds on the iconic Fish shape with additional 3D convex shaping in the tip and tail (like a surfboard). More on-snow testing than any board in recent years gives this Fish a new level of surfability, responsiveness and control in deep snow. And the double swallowtail adds acceleration and cornering control. Available in three sizes: 151, 156, 161. Go get some.” –Jonathan , burton.com Khyber Split $699 “The Khyber has been the long-running ride of choice amongst the Prior community on those deep, coastal days. Its highly tapered shape and signature rocker nose offer effortless float and eliminates back leg burn while the flex offers optimum surf-inspired flow when slashing pow. Ideal for open bowls or weaving through your favourite trees, the Khyber Split still provides a damp, stable ride on more committing lines or dicier snow conditions. An all-around slayer.” –Ben, Prior Snowboards & Skis, Function Junction, Whistler. 604.935.1923 priorsnow.com Mountain Life Gogglesoc $16.95 "Protect your lenses and look like you belong in the pow with this local collaboration between Mountain Life, Gogglesoc and legendary photographer Blake Jorgenson.
