We like retro aesthetics and backcountry touring. So of course we went for the Kemper Rampage Split Snowboard as this season's rip-stick. The Rampage features tri-axial fiberglass and a wood blend core with carbon fiber strips. This keeps things stiff, so whether there's a foot of fresh or an inch of slush, we'll maintain a high level of control. And with its flat camber profile, our edges stay locked in, keeping traction high going up and response a priority coming down.
