Who is the Box Knife Best Suited To?
The Box Knife is most suited to anyone looking for a resort board that is freestyle oriented. Whether you want that freestyle to be over the whole mountain or in the park. But also a board that is fine for laying into some carves and that can handle a bit of speed (without being a speed demon).
Not well suited to powder and certainly not a beginner board. You don't have to be an expert to ride it by any means, but best to be at a solid intermediate level
The Box Knife in More Detail
O.k. let’s take a more detailed look at what the Box Knife is capable of.
Demo Info
Board: Lib Tech Box Knife 2022, 157cm (253mm waist width)
Date: March 3, 2021
Conditions: Temp 0°C (32°F) but -6°C (21°F) with wind and that wind was quite chilly but not overly strong - 10kph (6mph)
Overcast but 90% visibility
24 snow: 0cm (0")
7 day snow: 24cm (9")
On groomer: Soft on top. Not slushy but kind of like when it's slushy but the snow wasn't wet. It's like it was ice overnight but softened up.
Off groomer: Very hard/crunchy.
