Bam! Boom! Pow! Kapow! Batman would ski these and annihilate the white. The ultimate ride for slashing big-mountain terrain, throwing down tricks, and taking names.

It includes a Kevlar veil—adding energy to the FSC certified bamboo core—and designed with an early rise and reverse sidecut in tip for floating in pow, and strong tail for stability in windblown crud. Our specially designed Razor Cut sidecut provides strong edge grip—straighter where you need cutting power and curved in the right spots for turning. The Kapow, undoubtedly, will give you the confidence to chase your favorite athlete down an AK spine.

A real smile maker - Backcountry Skiing Canada
Backcountry Skiing Canada said, "In deep pow it excels but also floats over crud and miraculously still carves on hard pack and groomers.... The Kapows are a real smile maker in any condition, resort or backcountry as they just turn so effortlessly." Read the whole review here: http://tinyurl.com/lxaxjn3.Posted on 2/11/14

I've had a few days to ski my new Kapows and you have a RAMP lover for life. They're an exotic Italian sports car on the groomers, and a hovercraft in the pow. Everyone here at Powderhorn is jealous.Posted on 1/8/14
