Directional pow slasher that doubles as a groomer carvenator.

Our test crew praises the Korua Dart’s effortless float in deep snow and laser‑sharp carving chops, thanks to its tapered directional shape, swallowtail, and float‑camber design. It shines with a forward stance and positive angles, offering locked‑in edge hold and slashy surf‑style turns. Curious how it handles steep pow fields and tight trees?
