Beauty XC2 BTX Snowboard - Women's

Destroy the entire mountain with charm and grace with the Gnu Women's Beauty XC2 BTX Snowboard. From laying down surfy pow turns to sending natural sidehits most wouldn't give a second glance, the Beauty is built to handle the best and worst days you might encounter this winter with poise. A floaty, mellow entry pow nose, mild, tail-settling taper angle, and enough tail to be slashed every which way, this board isn't afraid flaunt what she's got and turn up when the getting's good.

Blessed with an XC2 BTX profile, the Beauty's long, aggressive camber zones underfoot offer serious pop and response so you can boost jumps and pick apart technical lines, while a small rocker zone between the bindings provides float and a bit of playfulness. Mini Magne-Traction edges are mellower than standard Magne-Traction so you still get great edge hold, but with a less grabby feel. A directional shape with a long nose and a set-back stance makes it powerful and precise when pointing it, and also increases float to keep you on top of the deep stuff.

Under its hood, this board has a Light core, which employs a strong Aspen spine with Golden Poplar on either side for the ideal blend of strength and lightweight, keeping your pop crisp all season long. Tough UHMW sidewalls withstand abuse from rocks and stumps, and the durable sintered base is fast and retains wax well to keep you moving through slow spots.
