Skunk Ape 2 Snowboard | 2023
The Lib Tech Skunk Ape II C2X Snowboard is a big resort board for big resort guys. This board was once a small child, a park rat twin that liked to bounce around on rails and jumps. But then one day, it started growing. First it grew big around the middle. But not fat, more like those dudes that lift barrels and rocks and stuff in strongman competitions. Sturdy. Then it got tall. Lanky through the trunk and with a big long nose. Finally it got strong as hell, and hairy, and just a little bit malodorous. The Skunk Ape was born. Nowadays it can be seen swinging from trees throughout the ski area, leaving monstrous bomb holes underneath powdery cliffs, denting downrails in the terrain park, and leaving trenches the size of snowmobile tracks across the groomers.
