Gnu Frosting

The Frosting is an excellent choice for progressing riders. Its forgiving flex and hybrid camber profile make it approachable enough for confident beginners while offering enough performance for intermediates to push their skills across the whole mountain.

The C2 profile features a subtle rocker between the feet, which helps the board float naturally in deeper snow. While it is an all-mountain board rather than a dedicated powder specialist, it handles soft snow and backcountry bowls with surprising ease.

While the board is technically directional, the shape is subtle enough that it remains very capable when riding switch. You won't feel a significant disadvantage when landing jumps or riding backward in the park.

The Frosting uses a sintered base, which is known for being faster and more durable than extruded alternatives. It holds wax well and stands up better to the occasional rock or debris you might encounter on the mountain.

It provides a responsive, poppy feel thanks to the Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax glass laminates, but it is not an overly stiff or aggressive carving board. It is designed to be stable and precise on groomed runs without requiring the high-energy input of a dedicated race or freeride deck.
