Mountain Division
Designed for riders who demand a board as versatile as the terrain they
ride. If it’s deep, take it to the peaks and steeps. If it’s
wind-blown, hit the trees. If the groomers are prime, drag some
knuckles. The Mountain Division’s Free-The-Ride camber profile lets it
float with ease, slash with power and rip clean carves.

AirPop Core Matrix
Starting with the responsive “pop” of poplar laminates, we integrate
five zones of low-density, ultra light wood to reduce weight. Then we
add air channels to make it even lighter.
SuperlightBiax Laminate
For boards where we want to evenly blend freestyle feel and all-mountain
power, we use 90 degree and 0 degree fibers for the best of both
worlds. Then we reduce the weight of the fibers to keep the board
superlight. For an even blend of turning power and responsive freestyle
flex, we build a matrix of lightweight fibers in 90 degree and zero
degree angles.
SinterSpeed Base
Speed matters, whether you want to glide smoothly through powder or
whether you want to make sure you clear the knuckle. For our higher end
boards, this is the base that ensures you get to the line first and you
land in the sweet spot.
TurboRods - Carbon Double Barrel
In our TurboRod Technology, we mill channels in targeted areas of the
core and place a sleeve inside the channel. Then we insert a thin rod
of carbon inside the sleeve and anchor the carbon rod at the end of the
channel closest to the midpoint of the board. This allows the other end
of the carbon to flex independently of the sleeve and load up more
energy. When the storage of energy is released, it increases power and
pop for the board. Some configurations just add longitudinal ollie pop,
while some balance longitudinal pop with torisional response, while
others focus more on improving the torsional power of a board.
Found in both TurboRod and HotRod Technologies, this pattern features
two rods that start under both bindings and extend in straight lines
towards the tip and tail. This pattern provides a blend of
response—double the energy-loading power for straightline pop, and also
an added dose of torsional response to put more kick into our
flat-rocker and powder boards.
