Love the Yukon

By Guacamole Ranked #125 - Snowboards January 18, 2008

This board served me well up at Whistler this last week. Its wide waist profile easily accommodated my rather clunky size 13 boots without any significant toe or heel drag even when cutting across the steepest runs at the peak.

I decided to ride the 159 ( I am 6'2 but a light 165 lbs) Given the amount of powder up there I could have used a few extra centimeters, but the board was a dream in the park. Fast base and tough compound handled the rails and tables without a serious ding

Pros:
Wide waist takes big feet
Great looks and bright colors
Lightweight.
Slimewalls? Though I didnt really feel the difference.

Cons:

Stiff Stiff Stiff, but it loosened up after a few days
Its a lot of board to get moving from toe to heel and back but once you get the hang of it you wont go back.
The etched topography map of the Yukon on the deck made stomp pad application quite tricky. Any small spikes/stars came off but my larger single pad stayed in place.
