Bataleon Snowboards are back in Australia thanks to Chris at Butter Distribution. I have never ridden one myself but they got a ringing endorsement from my good friend Phil who searched high and low early last year for an Evil Twin (when he found them, he bought two!). The good guys at ESS have scored a semi-exclusive on the boards until 2010 – so if you’re after one, you have to hit them up – check their contact details here.

PS. I’m told that ESS Jindabyne will have a full demo fleet and will be running demo days throughout the season. I’ll post dates and details here as they are available.
