Testing snowboards sounds like a blast—and it is. But the truth is that running a snowboard test is no simple task. To successfully pull off an objective, thorough test, you need heaps of snowboard gear from brands big and small and a diverse crew of diehard riders to test it. Last but not least, you need a radical resort with varied terrain that allows testers to truly put gear on the chopping block. 

This past spring, that resort was kirkwoodmtn: a storied freeride hub just south of Lake Tahoe.

We had arguably our best snowboard test in the last decade at this under-the-radar resort, which is home to puckering cliffs, corridor-like chutes, and steep, technical terrain that demands respect.
