The tree's at Rusutsu resort in Japan are something special, and provided excellent terrain to test out the Gentemstick XY Snowboard. Throughout the day we were able to find copious amounts of powder, a variety of drops, and even a few tree jibs which is something we never really come across. The XY performed really well in these conditions providing excellent float and lots of stability. The board features a directional shape with a very long nose and short tail outside the contact points, a taper, setback stance, as well as a very wide shape; all of these features help give this board float. Gentemstick gave this board a full camber profile with a rockered nose, as well as a large sidecut radius to complement the width which also makes this snowboard very fun for carving. The biggest highlights for me on this snowboard is the combination of float and stability that it offers, and the fact that it is locally produced in Niseko. Let us know what you think in the comments, thanks for watching.
