Description
The Powder Slut’s versatility and playful/surfy feel make it one of our most popular models for use in dry snow conditions. A longer, more drawn-out nose and lightly tapered reverse sidecut gives this board it’s surf-like character and maximizes floatation, planing and stomping ability for larger airs. The rounded notch tail allows for incredible agility in technical terrain while still being able to maintain stability at the highest speeds in open terrain. This directional hybrid can be still be ridden backwards (flat base models) with fairly good control, keeping your options open for freestyle riding. Available with our CDC 3-Dimensional Base or Flat Base.
-Ideal for dry powder conditions of 6″ (15cm) or deeper – See the “Barracuda” models for best performance in shallower or variable conditions.
Recommended Width Sizing: “Standard” – US boot sizes: 9-13 / Weight: 130-230 lbs . “Narrow” width – US boot sizes 7-9 / Weight: 100-200 lbs

Super surfy in the deep, handles drops with ease, and wiggles effortlessly through tight trees. The reverse sidecut is very responsive in ideal snow conditions but is more challenging to ride in the variable snow compared to some of the other boards in my quiver.
