2014 Pow Nas Review

The Specs: 

Don't you dare call these skis-- no, the Lib Tech Pow NAS should be referred to as Narrow Ass Snowboards. These shred-sticks are giant underfoot with a waist width of 117 mm, which makes them perfect for pow days, but also awesome for everyday crushing. The Rocker entry reCURVE Magne-Traction shape is perfect for carving the hard-pack, but enables you to also slaughter pow. Ridden and designed by Mike Wilson and the Lib Tech 'experiMENTAL' division, the reCURVE Magne-Traction lifts your tip and tails from ends of camber to traditional contact points, creating a “dynamic early rise” which happens when boot pressure is applied to the center the ski.  This allows you to easily float in the chop and chunder, and provides precision when pointing it through the hardpack. But it's also is catch-free for jibbing and presses. The Pow NAS is ideal for most of the market: beginners, rail rippers and even burley badass backcountry boys. Lib Tech has nailed it with these Narrow Ass Snowboards. 

Reviewer Insight: "Large and stiff ready to charge but still playful/jibby. Not super fast turning so you need to know what you're doing. Tons of fun in the soft stuff, stable in little puppy air. Somewhat manageable in the crap snow for a pow ski. One of my favorites of the day."
