“Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check?”

After putting in countless days riding his Original Winterstick Swallowtail, Rob Kingwill felt inspired to shape a modern version with a little more horsepower. He took out some of the taper, widened the swallowtail, and added some angular inspiration from the elusive Aurora Project plane design. Looking for stability on steeper runs in Jackson Hole and Alaska, the sidecut radius blends from tight to long in tail, for a catch-free riding experience. Not just for powder, this board handles just about every snow condition with ease, and may become your daily driver. Although it is inspired by stealth, the jet black and red top sheet is going to set off every radar as you walk through the parking lot and tram line!

    One board to rule them all

    I've worked with the guys at Winterstick to refine my custom Wescott Pro over the last 3 seasons. Without doubt the shape suits my riding style down to the ground. Adding the titanal lattice insert provides extra grip and vibration damping, without giving away playfulness or pop. The board rails all kinds of arcs on groomers, floats beautifully in low angle pow, is tenacious in critical narrow and steep chutes, and is way faster than everyone else on the cat tracks. It's as close to an all mountain freeride quiver killer as I have ever ridden. And it's a proven winner for banked slalom where the nose shape and tail profile mean easy turn initiation on the banks, and no tail catching on the exits. Pretty darned close to the perfect board I reckon.

    Dream board!

    If you want a board that prefers going fast this one is for you..This board was designed for charging big lines, having the stability to be solid at full pin yet be playful enough to manage technical terrain. I have ridden it in all conditions and find it also really shines on wide open groomers when you want to lay super g carves...floats like a dream on those deep days and even has the ability to rail banked slaloms. It's a hard charging do everything board.

    Incredible Ride

    Rode this model for a few runs in Montana. It was AWESOME . The 183 was easy to handle and I was able to carve it without any issue. I am 5'7 and about 140lbs. It handled beautifully.

    Surfy, even in an indoor ski area!

    I demoed this board at Big Snow in NJ. It is a very fun board. Most certainly a surfy model. It felt good even on the chewed up snow there. I would love to try it on a groomed trail laying down turns and in powder. I used plate bindings and Hardshell boots... and it was great!
