Prior’s Powstick Split is the king of big mountain directional powder boards. We have redesigned the nose and tail of this classic Prior ride to create a more nimble and versatile shape. In addition to the redesign we have added a couple of extra sizes for smaller riders or those wanting to use this split as a more everyday powder weapon.

The behaviour and performance of this board is the result of years of R&D and can be attributed to the nose shape/profile that allows for effortless float.

The swallowtail breaks down resistance and 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. With limited taper and a long effective edge, the Swallowtail Split is surprising edge to edge and efficient in variable snow conditions; the tails also flex independently to increase mobility and provide a smooth transition to finish the turn.
