"The Route SL comes with all the same qualities as the Route but with upgraded construction. To start, the board has a poplar and paulownia core with a versatile shape. Add a responsive carbon fiber top sheet and the Route SL ranks among the lightest of the directional cambered boards available on the market. The oversized shovel nose and tapered inverted tail tackles powder to hardpack. For a powderboard quiver killer with the best of the best construction look no further then the Route SL."
