Description
The Spearhead splitboard was introduced in 2007 and its popularity continues to grow as powder junkies everywhere learn of this new board evolution that provides the most versatile powder performance of any Prior board. Big alpine bowls to tight treed sections the Spearhead – aptly named after the powder filled Spearhead Range in Prior’s backyard – handles it all…and rips in hard pack and ice too (both directions).
The Spearhead’s defined, gradually up-sloping nose provides unparalleled powder trim; its modest sidecut, taper and shorter tail provide the enhanced performance and drive. If you crave powder, like to “earn your turns” and want a splitboard to stir your mojo, jump on the Prior Spearhead.
