Travis Rice is known for his jaw-dropping backcountry airs and daring big mountain descents, but when he just wants to surf some pow on a deep storm day, he reaches for the Lib Tech T.Rice Orca Snowboard. Sporting a wide waist, directional shape, and setback stance, this board was designed to float effortlessly in the deepest, lightest snow, from Jackson to Japan. New for this year, Lib decided to add some extra size options to open up the fun to more riders.

Don't be fooled by its seemingly short length, what the Orca lacks in length it makes up for in width. The result is all the float of a much longer board, only in a shorter, more maneuverable package that rips through tight trees and offers a surfy feel when linking pow slashes down open bowls. Its C2x profile features longer camber zones underfoot and a shorter rocker zone between the bindings to enhance edge hold and response, so after the powder is tracked out you can use the Orca to rip through gullies in the trees and natural halfpipes with confidence. When seas of snow are raging, take a ride on the Orca.
