How long does it take you to get amped for the coming season? For us, it’s 2 minutes 17 seconds. And we’ve just watched the edit that’s got us preemptively packing our board bags and checking snow forecasts. Mat Crepel has just dropped one of the most froth-inducing videos we’ve seen in a hot minute, and if we didn’t like him so much we’d want to beat him up for making us so envious.

Mat hit the skin track in his backyard to put in some hellishly dreamy turns on the new Nidecker Escape Split. And while our skills are nowhere near on par with Mat’s, we took the same board out for a spin earlier this year to put it through its paces. Did we like it? No… We loved it. So much so that we awarded it a coveted spot in the Whitelines 100, naming it one of the best pieces of kit we tested all year.
