stats:
Recommended for freeride riding Recommended for big mountain riding Very high cost snowboard Available in MidWide Rocker construction Directional twin shape

There’s no need to get all-directional for backcountry terrain with the Slackcountry UL. The shape is almost twin with only a ¾ inch setback stance as most of the float comes from the fluid directional HighRize rocker profile which means the tail rises less than the nose to keep it stompy for tail heavy landings and big ol’ slashes. UL construction makes it into the Slackcountry this season to keep it light for monster hikes and nimble shredding.

Manufacturer's Description:

The ultra light 2012 Ride Slackcountry UL powder snowboard features our HighRize™ shape built with a slightly higher rocker in the front than the tail and maintains a loose feel that retains response. This versatile twinish design that allows you to dominate the deep stuff, slash groomers and easily ride switch. Complete with our Hempbrain™ top sheet and the latest UL techs, you’ll float in the powder like you’ve always dreamt, but don’t bother pinching yourself ‘cause this Ride’s for real.
