Lib Technologies Skunk Ape MTX Snowboard - Wide - 2009 BCS

i used to ride a 09 NS legacy-r 170cm. hopped on a 2010 169 skunk ape and never looked back. the board eats the choppy runs up like there's nothing going on underneath you and has quite a bit more flex ( i weigh 220lbs) than the NS. the mtx makes me more comfortable on those crappy iced out runs bc you can cruise around like its nothing with the sidecuts biting in the ice just by you leaning. i choose the skunk ape over my legacy r everytime now.

i only had this board for about 3 weeks before a snowboard rack failure saw to it's demise, but it was a LOT of fun to ride. The MTX works surprisingly well, and the board was a trooper. Not too heavy for it's size either, which if you're a trekker on snow shoes like me makes a big difference.

Straight goods. I have 20 years of snowboarding behind me, and I hail from the Interior of British Columbia. I have a few Big mountains on my resume. ( I don't actually keep track ). Would you surf Wiamea on a thruster? I don't care what your size is, or how long your flippers are. The truth is 1500 verticle feet of 45+ degree slope on a Big board takes a certain type of character. I picked up a 6 foot Doughboy in the early 90's, this 190cm Skunk Ape is the replacement. LibTech builds good boards, I just wish they didn't sell out and adopt the metric system for sizing their boards. Picture yourself floating over a powder field at 50 MPH and slashing a carve with a 20 foot high rooster tail. Only a few can appreciate it.
