Summary:

Ladies looking for a well-built all-mountain snowboard to take their riding to the backcountry and bigger features in the park need look no further. Stable at high speeds through variable snow conditions, responsive when pushed to the limit and perfect for those bigger transitions in the park. If you fancy leaving the boys behind in your wake then the Brandywine could be the board for you.

Manufacturer's Description:

Entering its sophomore year the Brandywine has been refined to provide a silky smooth, stable ride for women who want to rip all over the mountain in all conditions. Built with the very best ingredients, the Brandywine is designed for women who are serious about snowboarding and want the best all-ride board they can get. The Brandywine is named after a well-known, horseshoe shaped waterfall located ten minutes from the Prior factory. We like the falls….we also like Brandy and Wine too.

Best for - Big mountain powder, groomers, trees, park and pipe - the Brandywine is an all-mountain, all-ride board.

Rider type - Women of all abilities who want to ride their best (also great for lighter men with small feet).
