Free Rider
Free Rider snowboards are best for ungroomed snow in any terrain. They snowboards are designed for adventurous riders who spent most of their time off groomed runs. They are often directional boards, meaning they are meant to be ridden with one end always facing downhill. The flex of a freerider snowboard is usually stiffer than that of a freestyle board.
Big lines call for a predictable board that lets you be in the drivers seat. This Burton Family Tree Free Rider Snowboard is for riders looking to step out into the steeper alpine terrain and variable snow that big mountain riding offers. Modest sidecut, a confident edge, and a stable tail offer the control to make the right moves when you need them or no moves when you don’t.
