Lib Tech T. Rice C2 BTX HP Snowboard 2012

Travis Rice needs no introduction—the man’s been pushing the limits of backcountry freestyle snowboarding for years. Fittingly, his pro-model C2BTX HP Point Tip Snowboard is now pushing the limits of board design. The upgraded Horsepower construction combines Lib’s new Columbia Gold core with 100% basalt fibers (no fiberglass) for a light, strong, and unbelievably poppy ride.

•C2 Power Banana hybrid shape places camber under your feet and rocker in-between for a loose, fun ride that still carves through turns
•Columbian Gold core uses snowboard-specific, genetically-engineered wood for insane pop and light weight
•Pointy tips increase surface area for better float in deep snow
•Eco-friendly basalt fibers replace traditional fiberglass for a lighter, stronger, and snappier board, and also dampen vibrations for a smoother ride
•Magne-Traction edges add five contact points to offer exceptional grip and control, even on icy snow
•Bioplastic topsheet made from castor beans is both tough and good for the planet
