Elan Ascent

"The Ascent is the ultimate powder board, which we specifically designed for deep snow. Because of its shape, the Ascent has the best turning radius so you’ll be surf slashing all over the hill. Its floatation is incredible, just like a fish board, but with your position remaining as centered as on your regular snowboard. The specially designed omega sidecut tail gives you the option to go as big as you want and makes your landing effortless. Elan makes the lightest board on the market, which is very nice for hiking to the top of the world. I ride this board and recommend it to anybody who rides in the backcountry, either with snowmobiles or in a helicopter. You will never go back to your regular snowboard." - Martin Gallant, International teamrider
