What sets the Brainstorm apart from other Slash snowboards is the almost twin-like shape and big spoon-styled nose. This along with a slew of other nice features makes the board so easy to ride in powder and you can happily land this thing switch.

I think Slash snowboards might just be some of the fastest boards I have ever ridden, this thing absolutely flies down the mountain. Responsive and agile, carving feels fantastic on this thing. Power into a turn and the board just locks in and rails hard.

Spinning also feels great and with the reactive flex core I think it would be fun in the park if you wanted to venture in there as well.
