The La Femme board has a soft flex with high rebound to help in the transition between turns and to give the board a lively feel. This board is a great match for the intermediate riders still at moderate speeds and still need to work on technique a bit. You can use this board to work your way down easier black diamonds, and is really home on intermediate runs. Women have special needs in terms of snowboard gear, to make the experience more enjoyable and to speed up the learning process. Avalanche has provided boards to cater to the needs of a woman snowboarder. Their womens boards are narrower at the waist for quick turning and maintaining a lightweight feel. The sidecut is short to allow quick, short turns and to get a feel of carving early on. The flex of the boards is medium to soft which is better suited for lighter weight riders and those at the beginner to intermediate levels. And to top it off, they look like womens boards! You don't have to suffer riding a board with skulls or a scantily clad lady on it. Avalanche has been involved in snowboarding for decades. Some of you might remember Damien Sanders rocking Avalanche boards with hardboots- in the park, no less. They have come a long way since then. The idea behind Avalanche is to provide quality boards that a wide range of riders can appreciate. Not everyone is a sucker and is willing to pay $500 for a snowboard they will use just a handful of times a year. Avalanche uses the same construction methods and materials as the other $500 boards, but choose to put on a realistic price tag that pretty much anyone can afford. |
