Snowboards
This season we’re adding a few new brands to our line-up. This year Lib Tech, Special Blend, and Volcom will be on the floor alongside the massive array of old favorites (see opposite page). Last season saw dump after dump of snow and the finger-crossed predictions are the same for this season. Collingwood conditions were epic, and the parks were shaped to Ontario perfection. As far as new technologies, we saw the introduction of Burton’s EST binding system that gives more flexibility in positioning and is super light. This year Burton continues with EST system and adds the new Rx Adjustable Cushioning System for the Ion boot. The Feelgood and Custom graphic look amazing and are featured on the opposite page. Burton also premiers It’s Always Snowing Somewhere, a two disc double feature – see burton.com/movie for a preview.
Lib Tech is also pumping some new R+D into their boards as well, in which they call the age of Fruity Enlightenment. This new era brings forth Banana Technology and Magne-traction, two great forces working together to help you in big landings and better stability.

Here’s how it works: the traditional camber is replaced with the rocker ‘banana’ which is a reverse camber so when you stand on the board pressure is applied to the edge area and between your feet as the weight presses out the rocker. The flex pattern is slightly stiffer in the tip and tail to increase pop and is great for big landings. The two technologies are integrated into Lib Tech’s new freestyle boards such as the T.Rice Pro Model, the Cygnus X1 and the Skate Banana. Come in to check out the graphics.
