Powder Hound

$689

When it finally dumps, the Powder Hound is the board you want underfoot. A set-back stance and generous nose taper let it surf the deep stuff with the back foot doing the work, while enough camber underfoot keeps it honest on the traverse back to the lift.

Demo shop — checkout is not wired. Free binding mount on every board.

Highlights

  • 25 mm tip-to-tail taper so the nose floats and the tail sinks — surfy, drifty, effortless in deep snow
  • Setback 30 mm stance keeps your weight behind the float
  • Directional rocker nose with camber underfoot for drive on firm traverses
  • Paulownia-light core to keep swing weight down in the trees

The verdict

A board you buy for ten days a season and don't regret for a second. On a real powder day it turns competent riders into heroes: point the nose, lean back, let the taper do the work. The grin is the spec sheet.

Who it’s for

  • Storm days and deep off-piste
  • Tree runs and natural-terrain surfing
  • Riders who want to float without a 170 cm plank

Not for: A one-board quiver — on a hardpack-only week it's more board than the day needs.
