Skunk Ape Snowboard + Lightning Binding + Aura Pro Boot

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying

"The Skunk Ape is my go-to as a bigger rider. The wide platform means no toe drag when I'm carving deep, and the camber with Horsepower construction keeps it stable and lively at high speeds. The extended nose really helps in pow—it floats better than I expected for a twin-like shape. For riders with big boots or heavier builds, this board makes everything easier and more fun."

Large-Boot, Heavyweight, and Aggressive All-Mountain Riders

This package is built for snowboarders with size 11+ boots or heavier builds who want high-performance gear across the full mountain. The Skunk Ape's extra-wide waist widths eliminate toe and heel drag, while the Aura Pro boot's medium flex and heat-moldable liner deliver all-day comfort without sacrificing response. The Lightning Supermatic binding brings step-in convenience and medium-stiff all-mountain performance for riders who want to spend more time riding and less time strapping in.

All-Mountain, Freestyle, and Resort Terrain

This package thrives on groomers, powder, park features, and sidecountry trees. The Skunk Ape's directional twin shape and extended nose float well in soft snow while staying precise on hardpack. The Aura Pro handles the full resort day with ease, and the Lightning Supermatic's automatic entry system keeps transitions smooth from lift to line.

Wide Platform, Lightweight Build, Step-In Speed

The Skunk Ape is anchored by an FSC-certified 60% aspen / 40% paulownia core kept light and lively through Lib Tech's Horsepower construction. Tri-Ax/Bi-Ax fiberglass with basalt alloy delivers smooth flex and response, while Magne-Traction serrated edges hold on ice and variable snow. The Hybrid C2X profile—lengthened camber with shortened rocker—gives you pop, precision, and float in one shape. The Bent Metal Lightning Supermatic binding adds Supermatic® automatic entry, a solid power highback, and a 3° canted footbed for balance and impact absorption. A dual band auto ankle strap and flip-fit toe strap lock in securely the moment you step on. The Vans Aura Pro boot ties it all together with a dual-zone BOA® system, heat-moldable Smartwool® liner, and a V2 Waffle Pro sole for traction on and off the snow.
