PRIOR SKI FACTORY TOUR – HANDCRAFTED SKIS & SNOWBOARDS

Matt holding a pair of NEH skis and a NEH snowboard on the factory floorWith the growing number of snowboarders joining us each year at Northern Escape Heli Skiing (in BC, Canada), we are yet again expanding our snowboard fleet. We have been using Prior Khyber and Prior Spearhead snowboards for a few years now and have heard nothing but good feedback from the heli boarding guests who have used them. Both Prior snowboards are designed to excel in powder while still being versatile enough to take on windblown peaks and tight trees, which is what makes them perfect for our British Columbia heli boarding company.
