To design the big mountain dominating Billy Goat, Gnu leaned on the experience of freeride master Temple Cummins. They started with a core made entirely of high-density Great Lakes Aspen for strength and a predicable feel, gave a board a freeride friendly directional twin shape, and then sealed the deal with the high-performance C3 BTX profile.
The C3 BTX camber banana tech places mild rocker between the feet with aggressive camber leading out to the contact points. Designed to be the ideal profile shape for aggressive and powerful snowboarders, C3 BTX provides precision tip and tail control with end to end stability for performance you can count on at high speed.
The day I rode the Billy Goat we had fresh powder in the morning that got pretty slushy by the end of the day. I immediately noticed how the flex points under each foot felt a bit different than most of the boards I tested. I felt stable and in control at speed but was also impressed with how easy it was to make some tight turns.
The nose had no problem staying up in the soft snow. It was really comfortable to lean back and trench out some turns. The stiffer flex helped keep the board stable as you would expect, but it also helped a lot for powering out landings.
And as an added plus, the top sheet graphic has a mean looking goat on it, so you know we’re digging that. For a stiffer, high-performance board that’s geared towards deep snow and big mountains, you can’t go wrong with the Gnu Billy Goat
