RIDE Snowboards Berzerker

ride-berserker-provisions

The RIDE Berzerker is your grade-A example of a carefully refined pro-model. Now in its sixth year, Jake Blauvelt has worked with RIDE to fine-tune and perfect this all-mountain charger since its debut. “It’s the all-mountain board. It can float in pow, but it can rail an edge on hardpack as well. My home mountain is Mt. Baker, so you can get all ranges of conditions there, from neck-deep powder to super hardpack, icy moguls, and everything in-between.” – Jake Blauvelt. Match this all-terrain performance with camber underfoot and early rise in the nose and you will be charging down the mountain with ease. Don’t believe us? Just watch Jake Blauvelt’s new film, Off Course to watch the man himself put it to the test.

BCA-Tracker-3-provisions

Arva Pro 2.240 Avalanche Probe

arva-probe-provisions

Avalanche professionals often recommend aluminum over carbon, and slightly beefier probes over flyweight ones. Why? When avy debris sets up after a slide, it becomes extremely concentrated and hard to penetrate, and a burlier probe simply works way better. Why carry a probe all season if it won’t even help you find your buddy? The Arva Pro 2.40 Avalanche Probe is a quality 7075 Aluminum that deploys in seconds and will last for years – don’t leave the ski area without it.
