Local: Spring Time Slush

Written by JT. Posted in Local

Skunk Ape Horsepower - On Snow

I’ve been pretty busy with work, but am still getting in time to make turns in the spring conditions. We’ve had a really dry month here in Colorado this past March, and our snow conditions are quickly turning into surf sessions. I’ve been riding the Never Summer Cobra, and the Skunk Ape Horse Power with Flow binders for the end of the season, and will have write-ups coming shortly. I’ve also been keeping tabs on the condition of my Vans Cirro boots to see how they’ve held up for the past two seasons now. They are finally starting to see some wear, but are still holding solid.

Local: A Bit of Info on the Never Summer Cobra

Never Summer Cobra Close-Up

There’s been plenty of chatter around the internet and in the scene about the Never Summer Cobra. Yes it’s a new board, with a new shape, combining tech from some of the best boards in the NS line to create a killer “All Mountain” machine that can paintbrush down your lines. Carbonium, check, spaded tail ala “Premier F1″ indeed. I’ll be spending a bit of time on this board, along side a NS Legacy for a board to board comparison. Why the Legacy? That’s the board most people have asked about comparably speaking so why not. I’ll probably try to nab a Proto CTX again as well, and maybe do a three board write-up on the differences and such. Stay tuned, as it’s been dumping snow up there, and I’ll be making turns here shortly to pin up some reviews.
