Snowboards

Light new rides and funky shapes impart
performance at the resort and in the backcountry.
1. Meier The Native
Snowboard
35031-UL

With a good many of their skis
named after cowboys, the folks at
Meier decided to name this snowboard with a nod to indigenous
people. This model has been in the
works for the last three years and
has been honed to what Meier believes is "perfect." With an effective
edge of 127.5cm (in the 161cm) and
low swing weight, The Native is
functional and stylish. | $595

2. Capita Snowboards
Spring Break Powder
Racers
37129-UL

New models in the Powder
Racers line take the highly
sought-after shape and design
from the 154cm board in last
year's breakout Spring Break
Powder Series (which retailed
for $720) and place it into a

/ SNOW SHOW 2019

construction configuration
with an accessible price point.
Now available in three sizes,
the new Powder Racers feature
a Forest Stewardship Council-certified P2 Superlight Core,
new Technora + Flax Boosters,
and a new Powder Drive base.
Lightweight, dependable, and
affordable, the Powder Racers
let riders live the dream without
breaking the bank. | $500

3. Weston Backcountry
Carbon Backwoods
33148-UL

Weston aims to make carbon splitboards accessible to the everyday
backcountry rider. Featuring a
completely redesigned core utilizing lightweight Paulownia wood
with aluminum stringers and a
carbon topsheet, this new splitboard shaves 1.3 pounds of weight
while maintaining the same playful freeride flex and durability that

the original Backwoods is known
for. The Carbon Backwoods still
features the same award-winning directional tapered shape
with rockered nose and camber
between the feet. | $1,099

4. G3 Axle
39081-UL

The Axle is not an all-mountain snowboard cut in half but a
backcountry board developed to
ensure the climb up is as smooth
as the ride down. The progressive shape makes it a one-board
quiver. The carbon-fiber matrix
construction creates torsional
stiffness and better edge control,
while PU sidewalls provide excellent dampness. A full thickness
base means a more durable and
longer-lasting board. Rounded edges on the inside tips are
designed to avoid snagging pants
or scratching the board's edges
against each other. | $849

BINDINGS

Jones Snowboards
Apollo Binding
37153-UL

The new Apollo binding is designed
for the freerider who demands unmatched edge control, comfort, and
response. What sets the Apollo apart
is its exclusive Carbon Flax Highback, which blends the eco-performance of flax with the lightweight
and torsional stiffness of carbon.
Matching the premium highback
with Now Skate Tech creates a binding that will respond to every muscle
twitch with lightning-fast accuracy.
The Apollo can be set up in Surf
mode or Freeride mode by switching
bushings and swapping the Flip-It
ankle straps. | $450
