Suffering from ED? Many alpine riders experience Edge Disfunction from time to time. If lack of edge grip is affecting your confidence to lay it down, the Turner is for you. The Turner is a new shape and flex pattern designed for maximum edge hold in a user-friendly package.
Named in honor of the Montucky Clear Cut event held at Turner Mountain near Libby, Montana, the name also portends what the board excels at doing all day long. Developed and tested in the Mountains of Montana, the Turner is a freecarver that can go from first-chair groom to last-chair crud, from hero snow to spring variable. It is a dedicated carving board, but with a broad power band so to speak, letting you carve effectively in a variety of conditions.
Its abundant edge hold and freecarve flex let you confidently complete carves across the fall line to control speed, making it perfect to help riders progress to carving on steeper and faster terrain.
We would advise to get as narrow of a waist as your boot size/stance allows. (60-70 degree angles on bindings) Narrow waist widths allow you quick edge to edge transitions and aligns your lower body to absorb bumps and ruts. This type of stance will reduce/eliminate your want for a plate.
Narrow trails or new riders 9.5-10.5m SCR 160-170cm
Medium trails or intermediate riders 11-12m SCR 170-178cm
Wide open, no traffic and high speed 14-17m SCR 180-185cm
There are two different core laminations available, mild and spicy.
Secret Construction: Mild
Ride-all-day dampness and comfort. Amazing edge hold on icy and mixed spring conditions and not so perfect grooming. If you ride somewhere with marginal or inconsistent grooming, this is the board for you. If you want to ride-all-day comfort or are a newer rider, this board is for you.
Standard construction: Spicy
This will give you less dampness and more rebound. Moderate acceleration out of the turns and just enough pop. This board will take more energy to ride, but return it all in high performance. If you are willing to sacrifice a super smooth ride for a more lively and energetic ride, this board is for you.
