Prototype testing in Trysil
“Much better than expected!”
After a few weeks of adjustments and small optimizations, it was finally time to test one of our first prototypes again – this time under real conditions in Trysil. With both excitement and a good dose of curiosity, we headed up to the mountains this weekend to see how the board would perform.
And to put it plainly: it delivered – far beyond our expectations!
We’re positively surprised
The flow, response, and feel were significantly better than before. The adjustments we’ve made to the shape, flex, and material selection seem to have hit the mark. It’s incredibly motivating to feel that the development is moving in the right direction – especially when working with handcrafted boards designed to match both the style and riding feel of each individual rider.
Now we’re looking forward to completing more prototypes over the next few weeks. We’re taking everything we’ve learned from this test weekend and continuing to fine-tune. The goal is clear: to be fully ready for next season with boards we can truly be proud of.
Stay tuned – there’s a lot of exciting stuff happening at Holmen Snowboards in the months ahead.
