Prior Pow Stick

The Pow Stick, Prior’s swallowtail, is the king of big mountain directional powder boards. The behaviour and performance of this board is the result of years of research and development and can be attributed to the nose shape/profile that allows for effortless floatation and the swallowtail allows for a more natural stance without the dreaded back leg burn. In a class of its own, it has set the standard by which all big mountain powder boards strive to attain.

Not only does the Pow Stick deliver in the deep but its variable snow performance is surprisingly good. With limited taper and a long effective edge the Pow Stick also has the ability to hold a great edge in variable snow. The tails can flex independently allowing the board to hook up nice and easy in the tail end of the turn.

Profile Nose Rocker: Provides floatation and predictability in powder of all kinds. It also allows the board to initiate sooner. Traditional camber in the tail provides additional power when driving off the back foot.

Rider Type: Directional riders who have a fetish for untracked, open bowl powder.

Best For: Open powder bowls and glades...the deeper the better. Also rips the groomers like a carving machine.
