Prior Spearhead - 2011

/images/brands/prior/logo/prior_logo.gif

Tapered shape, a shorter stumpy tail and a stretched out nose with rocker profile are the defining features of the Spearhead; a snowboard that by the looks of it will handle ludicrous speed when the adrenaline is pumping and float in the deepest porridge while you potter back to the lodge after a hard days riding.

Manufacturer's Description:

The Spearhead is designed for big mountain freeriders that want a board that excels in the powder yet performs everywhere. The Spearhead’s defined, rockered nose profile provides unparalleled powder trim and super smooth edge to edge turnability. The tail adds drive and a stable pow-drop landing platform. Big alpine bowls to tight treed sections to hardpack groomers the Spearhead handles it all…Mavericks style.

The Spearhead is named after the powder filled Spearhead range which sits just behind Blackcomb Mountain here in Whistler. We like riding there and much of the Spearhead R&D was done in its chutes.

Best for -

All winter conditions. The Spearhead excels in powder of all descriptions and terrain ranging from wide open bowls to tight trees. In addition, it provides incredible performance in hardpack, crud, and variable snowpack.

Rider type -

Big mountain freeriders that want an everyday board that excels in the powder yet performs everywhere.
