Gnu Dirty Pillow BTX Snowboard
The line between park laps and powder pillaging can be blurry; the Gnu Dirty Pillow BTX Snowboard carves out a new category in this space with a profile that Gnu likes to call Progressive Park Powder Freestyle. The Dirty Pillow deploys in-resort pow-day-enhancing tech into a frame with freestyle twin geometry and a medium-stiff flex. The Dirty Pillow drools on pillow lines with Banana rocker, a mid-wide waist, and elongated nose and tail entry points on a mellowed-out Magnetraction edge. What that means for you is stable switch landings into pow and the ability to float on top of the soft stuff without having to work for it.
- Banana Tech rocker profile is the one that started it all—rocker between your feet, and flat zones extending to the contact points for a super-loose, catch-free feel
- Magnetraction edge adds traction to all snow types with multiple contact points that create an effect akin to a serrated knife
- Altered Genetics 1 core utilizes a hybrid wood composed of bamboo, balsa, and aspen for incredible strength and lightweight response
- Double sintered base uses a porous compound to hold and retain wax in the name of speed

Bottom Line: Drooling on pillows isn't always a bad thing.

perfect flex for the mountains, great float in powder, and pretty good edge control.
