In order for it to totally dominate any environment, we had to go all out: variable thickness poplar and paulownia laminated core for maximum lightness, crazy Easy Grip edges, a very high density P-Tex sole, carbon and Kevlar spatula reinforcements for maximum pop and resistance. With this, you can send like a big bear in park, ride, on hard or deep snow. There won't be much to stop you except the scent of a wounded deer. You've certainly noticed its wavy edge line, a real jaw that increases the contact area between the edges and the snow.
