DESCRIPTION:
The Khyber is a performance powderboard--its increased taper provides improved trim, float and maneuverability in powder conditions compared with standard freeride shapes. The Khyber is named after a large, off-piste area on Whistler Mountain that is famous for its excellent treed powder stashes. There is a great view of the Khyber region from the Prior store above our factory--on a good day we can ride the Khyber Trees almost into our back door.

Strengths: Does all they say on the powder: Quality construction, great flotation, turns quick, very nice ride. Surfy feel is fun, but takes some getting used to.
Weaknesses: Not so great in-bounds: cutting a board in half and putting it back together makes it lose all its pop. No response on bumps, shape makes it spooky on flat runouts. An adequate but dead ride off the powder. A great backcountry powder board, but if you don`t have another board for in-bounds, you`re going to be sacrificing some fun.

Strengths: Turns amazingly easy in steep powder in the trees. This board is incredibly flexible, which helps it turn.
Weaknesses: None.

Strengths: Perfect for steep tight trees and lots of pow. I`ve put 240 hrs on my khyber and it looks new. Softened up a bit, but I`m replacing it this week with a carbon fiber khyber.
Weaknesses: Original was on the heavy side. Hopefully carbon is a lot lighter.
