Any chance you can tell what the Mystery Tree Board is going to be for 24-25? It was the Hometown hero premium in 23-24, the Con Artist in 22-23 (i have this board), the Juice Wagon in 21-22. Any idea if they are coming out with an improved Power Wagom 164 or 166?
The Mystery board wil be a Day Trader. As for the Power Wagon that will be replaced by a new big mountain shape called the High Fidelity with a slightly blunted tip, less pointed tail and 2 more mm of taper. Still that stiffer, long carving charger. There will be a 162 instead of the 160, and still having a 166 like the Power Wagon did this year.
@@Anukulous The Power Wagon and Straight Chuter were kind of a Custom/Custom X when it came to construction for big mountain boards. For 24/24 they just did the 1 big mountain board in the High Fidelity.
Great question! The parent company didn't want to keep it going, and then at the last second they did but on a much, much smaller scale. Who knows 100% when it comes to publicly traded corporations these days 🤷♂. The good news is Peter Glenn is a private company who cares about the gear we sell and doesn't have to answer to people who just look a dollar signs all day long.
Love the vids! Need some advise tho! I'm a snowboard instructor (beginners and intermediate), therefore I ride both regular and switch. But I get to teach from baby steps, to carving but myself - I stay in the park (still beginner in the park lol) or freestyle all around. I rode a 2020 Salomon Huck Knife - loved the board, but that edge control on hard carves or harder terrain is just horrible (I've heard they have improved this). Either wat I've been thinking of a Capita Indoor Survival, maybe a Burton Process or just an updated Salomon Huck Knife. Also I'm a pretty heavy dude, I tend to muscle snowboards (5'10 and 192ish). What would you suggest?
Sounds like you definitely need something that is a little more all-mountain friendly than the regular Huck Knife. You are on the right track looking at twin tip, all mountain style boards like the Process or Indoor Survival! Size-wise I'd definitely keep it in the 158-160 range too.
@@PeterGlennSports Thanks for sharing! I actually really enjoy a size down as I"m into learning park. I've been on a 155 which was fine and now I'm thinking of staying in 155-157 range, just need to pick the right board. Found 2 really good deals: Burton Process 23/24 and Salomon HKpro 23/24. Both with 30% discount hehe
@@bartasjo The main problem you are going to have with sizing down (unless you go with a volume shifted board) as the board sizes go down, the boards also gets softer. Then you loose edge hold the faster you go. That is probably the main culprit to the problem you are having with the Huck Knife. If you are going to have 1 board to ride every where you'll want to bump up the size closer to something that fits you better. If you are going to have a 2nd board as a "park only" board then it's ok to downsize THAT board because you'll know that on those "park days" you won't be riding as fast and won't need the extra stability. Check out these 2 videos about "Sizing" and "Buying A Quiver" for a great visual explanation, and lots of good tips to get your sizing and board(s) fine tuned for your needs!

Very similar riding styles, biggest difference would be the slight rocker in the tips of the Huck Knife Pro for a little extra catch free feel vs a little more “on edge all the time” feel of the Blossom. But again very very close.
