2022 Lib Tech Snowboards

This post will give a quick overview of the 2022 Lib Tech snowboards lineup.

To start with let's take a look at any new boards for the 2021-22 season, and any old 2020-21 boards that aren't returning with a 2022 model. 

Then I'll take a look at each board and put them into the categories where I see them best fitting.  

2022 Lib Tech Snowboards

New 2022 Lib Tech Snowboards

The new boards for 2021-22 are: 

  • T Rice Golden Orca - New souped up version of the Orca. This was released for 2021, but was a late release. There are a few differences between the Regular and Golden Orca. The Golden has less setback and is overall a little narrower - as well as having a different sidecut, plus a  different core and glass.  
  • T Rice Apex Orca - New souped up version of the Orca. This one has the same dimensions as the regular Orca, but it has an even more different core and glass than the Orca.   
  • T Rice Orca Split- New split version of the Orca. This was released for 2021, but was a late release

Summary

So there you have the 2022 Lib Tech snowboards lineup. 

The new entries are all variations on the T Rice Orca, with the introduction of the Golden Orca and Apex Orca, in addition to a split version. 

The line has been consolidated somewhat with 7 2021 models not returning with a 2022 version. Not too surprising, given the impacts of Covid-19. 

Of the returning boards not a lot has changed. Some getting new sizes and others dropping some sizes, but otherwise everything returning looks pretty much the same as their 2021 counterparts (at least for the boards that I pay close attention to). 

I was lucky enough to test some 2022 Lib Tech boards and I'll release my reviews for those through the year.
