The 100EIGHT is so good at leveling the unruly rubble that remains two days after a storm that a fleet of them could be used as an off-trail grooming machine. They love to be pushed into a wall of snow where their fully rockered, U-shaped baseline can feel complete connection with mother earth. Removed from this ideal environment, they’ll drift like two unmoored dinghies unless the pilot rakes them up like a catamaran under full sail, one hull high above the water.

Dropped back down to a shallow edge angle, the 100EIGHT’s convex baseline takes over, setting the turn dial to “SWIM.” The best way to get them to re-focus is take them where the snow is deep enough to form drifts and wind berms the 100EIGHT can bank off, where they deliver a whale of a rollercoaster ride, steering or swiveling on a whim.
