When it comes down to it, the makings of a hard charging powder board and a straight up hardpack ripper are not all that different. Or, in the case of the GNU Banked Country C3 Snowboard, they’re exactly the same. Designed by the father son collab of Temple and Cannon Cummins, the Banked Country is built to chase huge snow days as well as gold medals at Baker’s Legendary Banked Slalom. The stiff directional shape, gripped edgehold, and big shovel-like nose bring smiles to the faces of OG’s and up and coming groms alike, through the deep days of winter and the rippin’ days of spring.
