Sierra Says: "The Custom X is a super versatile all-mountain snowboard. It shreds hard in the pipe, but also slays it on the mountain and through the trees. This board is very fast and aggressive on groomers and can easily stomp huge kickers and cliff-drops. Its Stainless Steel PDE gives the board incredible edgehold while also eliminating the possibility of rusty edges . If you are an advan...

Sierra says: The Econico is a new environmentally friendly, trend-setting snowboard from Burton. With that said, it is also a killer all-mountain board that rivals some of the most advanced on the market. Natural materials such as green wax (a combo of bee?s wax, carnauba wax, and soy oil) give the board extra zip without using earth-damaging chemicals. Plus, features like the edges and base a...

Sierra Says: The iDiom is everything you need in a snowboard and nothing you don't. A slightly tapered shape (even less then the super model) and a twin flex gives you a true all mountain freestyle experience. With a flew on the softer size riding this board is effortless. **This board does have a small waist width so large feet beware. The 159cm comes with a 245mm waist width. Smaller ...

Sierra says: "Designed with the Custom X core, the Supermodel X is the powder/freeride version for slaying the mountain at ultra high-speeds and dropping cliffs comfortably. The slight 10mm taper gives this board great floatation, while still allowing it to ride comfortably on the hard-pack. The N20 WFO Vision base will allow you to be aggressive and show all other that you are faster than t...

Sierra says: "The T6 is a super stiif speed demon that absolutely rips it down the steepest groomers and gnarliest tree runs. This board is made almost fully of honeycomb so it will have less weight and will float better in powder too. It is meant for the guy who wants to step up his level of performance or for the long-time veteran who wants is looking for a high-adrenaline all-mountain fre...

Sierra Says: "The Burton Vapor is the lightest board on the market. On top of that, it is also pretty stiff. Not really designed for an un-experienced rider, the Vapor will be excellent for the guy who wants to get more aggressive when riding the resort. With the Vaportech construction this board will float faster and easier on powder and groomed runs than most boards. This is not a jib/rail ...

Sierra Says: This is one of the greatest all-mountain freestyle boards around. Add the Banana tech and you ride, slide, or jib any box or rail with ease. Built-in 3D Riser Plates, along with Banana Tech. This board is stiffer and more aggressive than a lot of all-mountain freestyle boards, but slides effortlessly and launches kickers with ease. The Power Transfer Internal spines and walls offer g...

Sierra Says: Lib Tech Says: This board is a 3 time Good Wood award winner! Originally the "factory choice" designed by Gnu's in house test team the Rider's Choice freestyle series is now designed and ridden by Zach Leach, Dennis Buonjourno, Nate Ferrel and crew. Sandwich construction, EISS 9 sidewalls, sintered bases, twin directional shapes with Magne-Traction and lightweigh...

Sierra says: One of the most high-intensity freeride boards in existence, the Palmer Crown continues to push the limits every year. A combination of Nomex Honeycomb, Carbon Fiber Reinforcements, and Titanium Inlays, this board takes no prisoners. It is very stiff and aggressive on all types of terrain. We recommend the Crown for the experienced adrenaline junkie who has not yet met his match. ...

Sierra says: The Concept UL is a fast, smooth, responsive, and above all aggressive snowboard that is meant to take advanced riders skills and perfect them. The Silencer 7 tuned core, along with Slimewalls, make this board seem like your floating. Take it in the backcountry, steep groomers, cliff-drops, or park jumps and you will understand that this board slays it all. With all the added vibrati...

Sierra says: The Design is one of the most original and renowned snowboards in Rome's lineup. One of the defining features of this board is its double nose shape. It is a directional twin, but both tips are shaped like a nose to make riding switch in softer snow almost effortless. This feature really lets you open up your freestyle arsenal in the backcountry. Also, the Design is often regard...

Sierra says: The new revolution in freeride/powder riding. The Sick Stick gives the ultimate amount of maneuverability for the rider that finds himself needing or wanting to ride switch when in the pow. It's a blend of freestyle and powder influence to satisfy any needs when in the backcountry. With a double taped twin shape this board floats no matter which way you ride it. Along with that ...

Rossi jumped into the wide carve category a couple of years ago with the Zenith series. This category of ski was intended to blend a dramatic sidecut with a wider waist to create a "one ski quiver" for the skier with mostly groomed slopes on his agenda. The Z-9 was "ski of the year" in its first year and has remained successful. The z-10 is the newest version and it now fits o...

This is not another rebadge job on the old Rossi Bandit/B-series from years past. The width of the new SC80 falls right in between the old B2 and B3 models and it is a whole new build which features a new solid wood core. This is an entirely new ski and is a fantastic upgrade. While the Bandit series pleased a lot of skiers there were complaints from some skiers that the skis were not aggressive e...

The Z3 has been in the Rossi Zenith collection since its introduction and returns unchanged for good reason. This is a ski that hits its target customer almost perfectly. While it’s easy to make a ski in this range soft and noodley, Rossi doesn’t do that. For the intermediate to relaxed expert skier, there is a lot to be said for a ski that is moderate in shape and flex but has above average dampe...

Sierra says: The Fury returns for '09 with no significant changes other than graphic. I ski the Fury often and find that it is a great blend of groomer performance and grip with a nimble and compliant feel in the off trail and in softer snow. Among the 50/50 skis, this is one that can be a fit for a wide number of skiers. Edge grip is better than average for the 50/50 group and the deep sidec...
