Day 57 - Fun day demo-ing snowboards (4 runs each) on Humpty Dumpty (hero), Cat Track park (baby jumps), Hutch (bumps) and Collins (carve 360) ...
2025 K2 Almanac (surf) - 153 cm great for carving and laying down trenches and good on bumps
2024 K2 Alchemist (all-mountain freeride) - 160 cm stiff and heavy but stable with wide carves. Powers through crud but too big for the bumps.
2024 K2 Niseko Pleasure (powder freeride) - 151 cm soft good for carving but washes out in the crud. Best for the bumps with the least swing weight. Sickest looking graphics / design.
Finished off with my 153 cm KNWN (all-mountain freeride) riding out the super secret Olympic run ... appreciating how well-rounded this board is for typical Cypress conditions ... somewhere between the K2 Almanac (soft surf) and the K2 Alchemist (stiff freeride)
