Danny Kass XC2-BTX Snowboard

Danny Kass may be best known for his pipe-riding glory days, but he is also always down to tackle the rest of the park or go through the gate to send it into powder just like his pro model Gnu Danny Kass XC2-BTX Snowboard. With a snappy flex, power twin shape and hybrid-camber XC2 profile, this deck is a great ride for experienced shredders who are just as likely to spend the day lapping the jump line or the pipe in the park as they are to be seeking out cliffs and pillow lines in the woods.

The XC2 BTX profile features aggressive camber zones outside the bindings for powerful turns and rocker between the bindings for float in powder and a more forgiving ride on hardpack. Serrated knife-like Magne-Traction edges create additional contact points along the sidecut to provide reliable edge hold on the slippery slopes and icy pipe walls. Lightweight liquid crystal polymer fibers dampen vibrations for a smooth ride. A mid-wide width increases stability in the park and improves float in the deep stuff, and a twin shape with a slightly set-back stance adds power and control without compromising your ability to ride switch.
