Talk about your brand

Since 2011, the Ursa Major has been a cornerstone of our lineup, evolving subtly while maintaining its essence. Ideal for freeriders, it balances stability at high speeds with a playful feel, making it perfect for big-mountain lines, open terrain, and glades alike. 

Key Performance Traits

  • Float & Stability: Unique design retains surface area behind the rear foot, ensuring confident landings, high-speed turns, and playful maneuvering without sinking into powder.

  • Adaptability: Allows some switch riding in powder and excels in various snow conditions.

The Ursa Major inspires confidence to ride faster and tackle challenging lines, while reducing fatigue on choppy terrain. Its smooth glide makes it a joy for wide, high-speed turns but it can adapt to tighter turns when pushed hard.

 

Flex and Camber Profiles

Built for aggressive riders, offering stability, control, and support.

Stiffened Flex: A stiffer nose boosts stability in tough terrain, while a firmer tail offers support on landings and high-speed descents.
Confidence at Speed: Designed for trust at top speeds, providing responsive feedback and control in varied conditions.
Aggressive Riding Performance: A more demanding flex, ideal for big-mountain riders seeking solid, controlled performance in expansive terrain.

Effortless powder control with fluid carving across all conditions.

Moderate Nose Rocker: Enhances floatation in powder and agility across all conditions, especially when combined with directional flex.

Light Camber Underfoot: Provides balanced grip, improved agility, and enhanced pop.

Subtle Tail Early-Rise: Delivers a catch-free ride without sacrificing grip, allowing for smooth, fluid turn exits.

Size selection

Big Big Bear

Days riding on this board:11-25, Review:When I received the request to share my review, I went to the Trapper website to familiarize myself with the Major's description. The goose bumps were instant. The description is so incredibly accurate I found myself in a trance.
Imaging myself flying downward in knee deep POW with artful precision. Then to a spring groomer day, curving corduroy like a surgeon on speed. Long story short, the big bear performs just as the description on website states it would. It is a hard charging thrill machine.
Unfortunately for me, I overlooked one small detail which keeps this board from being crowned King of the Hill. Based on my height, weight and riding ability, I elected to go with the 160 over the 155. When I mounted bindings I noticed how wide the stance was compared to my other boards, even the longer ones. I convinced myself I could adapt and off I went. Its been journey. Not only have I had to learn to ride with a significantly wider stance, I had change my traditional stance completely. Typically I ride feet almost parallel a little greater than shoulder width apart angled slightly forward. On the Ursa I ride the ultra wide duck foot stance. Its not favorite and find it harder on my knees and hips. It almost prevents me from venturing into the super tight trees which I fucking love. On tree hugging days the bear gets traded in for the fish:l
Id buy another Trapper in a heart beat though. In fact, I just might.

This board is a tank

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.

My go to all 'round board

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.
