The 2025 Gnu Banked Country upholds its reputation as a dominant, directional force in the realm of all-mountain snowboards. The masterminds behind its design, the father-son duo Temple and Cannon Cummins, reveal the genius that went into refining this high-powered, ATV and crafted this unique board with a singular objective in mind – gold medal finishes at the Mt. Baker Banked Slalom. The durable and aggressive construction, a cambered setback stance, and the exclusive Progressive Pro Magne-Traction technology makes the Banked Country feel like a roller coaster cruising across the entire mountain, evoking the legendary riding style of Billy Goater himself.
