I love this board, its great on big pow days, steep chutes and coiloirs, also used it on multi day traverses and its worked out fantastic. My go to split for any conditons.
Days riding on this board:100+, Review:Been riding my Ursa Major since 2020 & it's taken everything I've thrown at it. From peaks, pillows & pow laps to marginal conditions & sketchy icy crap. This board just laps it up! Fast, fun & dependable. Build quality & attention to detail is incredible. Love this thing!
Days riding on this board:26-50, Review:Super stable board. Handles rough terrain - chunder, ice, unfortunate mogul forays like a champ. Very fast, can get up to 90km/h on this. Very agile at the same time. Tight trees are no problem. Floats on powder like a feather.
Days riding on this board:11-25, Review:After riding with this board throughout rogers pass, the okanagan, & the coquihalla with widely varying conditions I can safely say that this board is worth spending the money on. Not for how it handles the downhill during a deep pow day, you can make just about any board work on a pow day. But for being able to handle icy to almost neve conditions &/or when you have almost as much shurbbery than snow at lower elevations. This board can take a beating & that's what you need from a splitboard.
Days riding on this board:11-25, Review:I've had the Trout Trap for a couple seasons now and it's an awesome choice for "large" days at Kicking Horse, here in Golden. Beautiful craftsmanship comes through in the attention to detail and how it performs. These boards are made by people who know what they're doing and who truly love the sport. Ursa Major is on its way soon...
Days riding on this board:26-50, Review:The board has been sweet since I first rode it. I like the design it feels like I’m just set back in the right spot. I have the 166 and I’m 190-200 lbs depending on time of year. It’s been the perfect board for my backcountry trips out of Sitka, alaska… I’m looking forward to taking it to Haines! Seems to do fine touring as well. I got some Pomona skins that do a pretty nice job climbing. Board is hold up pretty well couple dings I should probably address. Overall super stoked with this board I have even turned a few of my friends to TRAPPER!
Days riding on this board:11-25, Review:This board has been nice, stiff and floaty for those deep powder days. The directional shape makes it so I never worry about keeping it up!
Days riding on this board:26-50, Review:Last year California was walloped by 30 atmospheric rivers. If you want a board to get steep and deep in the backcountry, the Trout will take you there. I was deeply impressed by the build quality, value and performance envelope of this board: it feels like a surfboard in powder but is surprisingly versatile and useful on park days with some fluff. Great product, crew and mission from Trapper -- and a great ride in some serious terrain is the result.
Days riding on this board:11-25, Review:Absolute weapon of a stick. Loves those soul-ride days when it's deeeeeeeep. Need to get the split version next!
Days riding on this board:51-100, Review:This was my wife's engagement gift to me, at my request. I had been admiring Greg's design on this for a while, and was impressed with his approach to the build. I took it to Whitewater on a pow day, hiking slackline as the day progressed. Endless float in the deep, followed by surprisingly fast lines in the groom. Holds the line super well and carves like a resort board. I mostly use the board for cat-boarding trips. It is fast, light, dreamy and snappy. Ripping tree lines is a delight. Wide open bowls are playful, with the whiteroom abounding. It is super stable dropping cliffs, landing solidly without nose diving. I loved it so much I bought the split version. After dozens of days, it still looks new.
Days riding on this board:100+, Review:After dabbling in the stiffer longer Ride and Burton models, I landed on an Ursa Major. It was a life changing experience. I went from fighting the designs of the major developers, to melding with this uniquely graceful charger of a board. I will ride this in all conditions. It holds firm on chunder and ice. It floats in anything but the deepest blower days. It is shockingly maneuverable for such a large board. It is best ridden fast. When I broke the sidewall in my first one at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, I texted Greg via the website. Later that day I was at his shop, happily picking up an updated model. When I convinced a buddy to try it, after years on a Salomon, he went on about how he could finally keep up, and how amazed he was with the speed and stability of this board. If I'm running to any hill without knowing the conditions, I grab my Ursa, and I'm always happy.
Days riding on this board:51-100, Review:The most impressively neutral board. Nothing about it stands out. At first that might seem like a negative, but it's truly not. It feels completely natural on all terrain. Strap it on and it seems to disappear. You never think about the board because it never needs thinking about. It's calm and capable no matter what you find yourself riding. Peak to park, powder, groomers, tracked out mayhem, side hits, power carves... Doesn't matter. Just you and the mountain.
Days riding on this board:51-100, Review:Passion in every board. A true artisan. One of the nicest blokes I've ever met too! I had no idea what an amazing piece of kit I was getting as a novice - needless to say it's still going strong all these years later. Legend.
Days riding on this board:1-10, Review:The thing i like about this board is that you feel very stable and can take on any terrain! Definitely lives up to description Greg wrote🤟
6'-0", 180 lbs, riding on a 155. Two years on this thing now, and spend all of last season on it after wrecking my all mountain/rock board. First the obvious, this thing crushes in powder. It floats effortlessly in low angle deep, but it's stiff enough to charge when it gets steep. It's nimble with that short tail and really lets me flick it around in the trees for quick direction changes. What surprised me was the versatility! On groomers it can carve really well with that extra bit of width and poppy camber, and that relatively stiff little block of a tail I can just load the back foot and dig it in for a long swoop of a turn. Only downside is the nose sometimes works against it. When it gets rough and bumpy there's a third of the board out front so it can start to get a little flappy slappy, but really that's not what it's meant for. Great board, permanent resident in my quiver.
