LIB TECH Women's Cortado Snowboard 2027

The Cortado is a balanced all mountain board that hits the sweet spot between freestyle and freeride. Not coincidentally, the Cortado coffee drink is a 1 to 1 balanced ratio of espresso and milk. The C2 contour and Magne-Traction edges make precision turns with catch-free ease. The gentle entry on the nose and updated shape tighter kick on the tail are for comfortable float and control on all terrain and variable snow conditions. Balance out those natural terrain runs with some laps through the park and the Cortado will be ready for performance action, with a double shot of fun. Purple mountain moonlight art by Hoko Saari.

Flex: 5-6/10

Shape: Directional

Bend: Hybrid Directional C2 - Carves the resort, plays in the park and slays the powder. We worked with Travis Rice to develop this perfectly balanced all terrain contour. Mild rocker between your feet combined with powerful cambers to the tips and tails. Enough power, pop, and precision to hit the biggest wedges. Enough float and freedom to rip the gnarliest AK lines.

Core: 75% Aspen/25% Paulownia - Aspen, our favorite FSC certified fast growing, light, lively, strong wood core material. It’s natures fiberglass! Paulownia, fast growing environmentally nicer light and strong and smooth riding wood core material

Fibreglass: Triaxial/Biaxial Fiberglass - Triaxial 0° x 45° x 45° oriented fiber combination creates the perfect balance of torsional responsiveness and overall flex performance. Biaxial 0° x 90° fiber orientation builds in pop, stability, control and forgiveness/ease of ride.

Base: Eco Sublimated TNT - The highest density UHMW and FASTEST base material without wax. TNT features our unique dual-layer thermal fusion “phase alteration” process which aligns the molecular chains into an engineered crystalline structure. The titanium layer reflects light and heat keeping the base at or near snow temperatures. The crystal layer is the fastest base material without wax making it a very consistent sliding surface in a wide variety of conditions and wax wear lifecycles. Wax to conditions as normal…board will remain fast even as wax wears.  TNT produces optimal graphic reproduction with our proprietary water based eco sublimation process. Easy to maintain easy to repair.
