We love that the Gnu Banked Country Snowboard is ready for whatever the forecast has in store. Windy and cold sunny and warm or dumping inches a minute--it's all fun with the Banked Country. Progressive Pro Magne-Traction edges and a C3 camber profile keep us locked into our carves when riding ice while the stiff flex and sintered base speeds through slush with stability and a slick glide. Its slightly larger nose and directional tapered shape boost us up and out of deep powder with exceptional float while the lightweight core keeps us nimble in trees as we weave our way back to the base.
