Comparing The Orca VS The Ultra Mind Expander

Another amazing powder day in Whistler!
Strap in, as Kevin, Evan, and I, hit up Whistler mountain for some sweet and sassy, yet dank and nasty, powdery runs.
We shred Club 21, then scoot across into Seppos for some lavish tree lines.
Afterwards, Kevin and I trade boards, so that we can give a direct comparison of the Jones Ultra Mind Expander to the Lib Tech Travis Rice Orca.
I ultimately feel like the Orca is slightly more agile, while the Ultra Mind Expander is more stiff and floatascious, but they are similar styled boards.
About mid way through, we say goodbye to Evan, because he has to go to work, to sell boards to the people. I then embark upon a journey up Peak Chair, towards Khyber Pass, and utilize it thusly.
Its been a fantastic season, and this day is right up there with the best of them. Just as the dolphins have returned to the canals of Venice, so has the powder returned to the mountains of Whistler. This truly feels like a classic winter season, right out of the Sears catalogue.
Filmed February 2nd 2021 on a GoPro Hero 9 Black.

What size Orca do you rock?

[@jonmassey8996]

Hey dude what size orca do you ride?

[@lilkae101]

That Jones sounds pretty cool but I love the c2 that libtech has, makes those boards so much fun to swivel around and still enough pop go get sendy on every side hit you see 🏂

Please take me to khybers!

If you’re riding into garibaldi park how are you getting back out? Closest chairs over there are Symphony and 7th Heaven. Do you just hike back to them?

[@markingram4023]

Andreas can you please point that camera down the hill, nothing more unnerving than sliding backwards. Otherwise keep up the good work you rock.

[@user-wy4nl4bx7x]

Oh no... in line 3-4 hours before the lift even starts spinning then ride for 2 lol

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

I'd be freezing if I rode and filmed with no gloves, even for one run😬
