Best Snowboards 2013: Lib Tech TRS
LIB TECH TRS: TOTAL RIPPER SERIES
This isn't the TRS's first rodeo—the true twin has been a heavy hitter in Lib's line for some years now—and it just seems to get better with age. Magne-Traction edges have no equal whether sending icy pipe walls or bulletproof groomers; seven contact points on each edge means fewer washouts and more confidence. Lib blends Banana rocker binding-to-binding and camber at tip and tail to gain the best of both worlds: Rocker's surfy smooth ride and camber's electric pop and power. The TRS has all that and then some.
