furberg 2.0 twin and freeride and womens

Topsheet is pretty sick…best in my collection by far! 1.0 set the benchmark in my quiver and in my local terrain. 2.0 delivers but more in a splitter type of way…split-friendly on the up and will handle all kinds of terrain/snow. 2.0 seems like the first choice with a 1.0 in the quiver for back-up or solid deep days.

HFT, I know your riding style and terrain choices and respect any concerns/wants deeply….voile clips was top of my list. Voile clips were delivered. I look forward to your feedback along with others you ride with.

Think snow,

The furberg Twin can rail some groomers.

The freerides deal with corduroy in a predictable fashion and require a little more rider input. They are not designed for a full-on groomer days, but can be used for that if needed. A 2000+ vert wide open freshly groomed trail is an experience I would like to have on a freeride. It would be a fast ride! I think one’s comfort zone would be maxed well before top-end speed is achieved. An early morning at Beaver Creek would be a great place to try this.

Video was over-exposed to white out the background and not meant to show the elegance of the color and graphics. It is a very light green with a luster/sparkle in the right light. Definitely has a Scandinavian influence with the clean design.

The debatable sickness is in the topsheet material. It is textured like a DPS pure3 layup ski. I work at a ski shop that has furbergs exclusively in the snowboard demo fleet, and I have been comparing and fondling the two awaiting some snow. The texture is similar to Salomon rentals from 5 years ago but to a refined, lesser degree. The furberg and dps sound softer and smoother when running ones fingernails over the topsheet.

So far in my shop experiences this year, the textured topsheet boards (furberg and beater Salomons) and dps skis have been coming in with less, if any at all, snow on them. Durability appears to be better compared to 4frnt and RMU skis and some 2013 Jones boards left over from the previous owner.

In my own 5 days of riding experience on the freeride 172, I have found minimal snow stickage and excellent grip sans any stomp aid between the bindings when skating. I like to “hang 10” by moving my rear foot up against the front binder and sticking my belly out on a long traverse, soul-arch style. There is a lot of grip in the topsheet.! Low snow year down here and base durability has been better than old model.

@summersgone Hoping to make a Silverton trip before the splitfest. I’ll let you know. Thanks for your offer of a tour. Lots of core shot repairs this season on rentals/demos/customer skis and boards. Yesterdays snow provided some added coverage, but sharks are still patrolling the waters.
