This board was used only twice on powder days and is a 2009-2010 model. I owned the same board in the 2007 model and loved it. I have decided to get in to split-boarding and backcountry touring, so I need to sell this to pay for all the related expenses.
It is in pristine condition and retails for $1200 due to the custom graphics and $1000 with generic graphics. The graphics are custom as Prior will allow buyers to choose their base and top sheet for $200 extra, so this board is unique in their line up. You will probably be the only person on the planet to own a board with the exact same graphics as this.
It is amazingly stable on super deep powder and is really a trip to ride. It is like surfing on the pow. Unlike the Burton Fish and the Prior Khyber, this board rules the piste and the crud on those transitional days. The fish and the Khyber are super squirrely. I did not like either of them, but that is just me.
I was amazed how solid it was on the groomers. The faster you go the more stable the board is. If you look around at some of the pics and videos on-line, you will see that some riders use this board as a carving board on groomer days. That is not my thing, but it really does carve like a mother too.
Pow-stick is the undisputed king of big mountain directional powder boards. The exhilaration that comes from being launched out of and into the next powder-turn, turn after turn with increasing speed and stability is unparalleled; the behavior and performance of this rocket ship 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 that allows for a more natural stance without the dreaded back leg burn.
The Pow-stick is clearly in a class by itself and has set the standard by which all big mountain powder boards will strive to attain. Best for - Open bowl and gladed powder of all descriptions...the deeper the better. The Pow-stick rails hard on groomers and rips through the crud and varied snowpack. Rider type - The Pow-stick is perfect for directional riders who have a fetish for untracked, open bowl powder. It is also great for soft boot riders who like to spend their time cruising and carving on the groomers. Surprisingly, the Pow-stick is one of the best soft boot carving boards in the entire Prior fleet.
