The Lib Tech T.Rice Orca Snowboard is still out there chomping fish. The volume-shifted pow ripper that’ll have you laughing as you chop the tops off moguls, the Orca has become the pillar of do-it-all boards. The sidecut’s tight enough to drill a spiral carve down to the bedrock, the short nose floats like a dang cork in the Dead Sea, and it stays stable at ludicrous speeds. From Jackson Hole to the BC BC, from Mt Baker to whatever that ice moon of Jupiter is called: the Orca’s ready to eat.
