Swallowtail Splitboards
Prior’s Swallowtail Split is the king of big mountain directional powder boards. The swallowtail breaks down resistance and allows for a more natural stance without the dreaded back leg burn. 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. Rider Type & Best For Rider Type Self propelled backcountry adventurers and powder hounds that ride directionally and want the added benefits of the swallowtail design. Best For Soft open bowl and gladed powder of all descriptions. Also rides well in hardpack, crud and variable snowpack.
