Sierra says: This is perfectly described, a big gun for snowboarding. The carbon a-frame design stiffens up the tail to push hard when shredding down fast lines. This Structurn style on its sintered base delivers a faster ride with limited friction creating a smooth glide feeling on groomers or on powder. This board is for the intermediate to advanced rider looking to make his own lines in the ...

Sierra says: The Arbor Crossbow is a high-end aggressive all mountain snowboard geared for the intermediate to advanced riders. It has a stiffer directional shape for smashing down the groomers and also for launching out of the halfpipe. Also, it has a lot of torsion stiffness so riding edge to edge at higher speeds is made easy while having reduced chatter because of its cork dampening features....

Sierra Says: The Arbor Element gives the traditional Hawaiian appeal and look. Carbon fiber struts that run from tip to tail fine tune this board, creating a great feel, which helps riders with their control when at high speeds and maneuvers when at slow speeds. This board is good for the all around rider who likes to ride different terrain and experience new bounds. Arbor says: The application...

The structurn base gives less friction, which in turn creates faster carving lines. This board is great for the rider who is looking for a durable board for the whole mountain. The Arbor Push is built to give women freeri...

Sierra says: The Arbor Roundhouse sets the bar for every other wide snowboard out there. It’s aggressive at speeds, nimble through trees, and floaty in powder. Basically an all-mountain freeride machine. The cork dampening makes it ride very smooth even at the highest of speeds and the bamboo topsheet adds power both in pop and edge grip. The Roundhouse is a great snowboard for a progressing in...

Sierra Says: "The Fish is a perfect board for deep pow riding. This board comes with a 30mm taper which makes it almost impossible to nose-dive in powder, even if it is 5 feet deep of fresh. Compared to the Fish LTD this board is slightly easier to ride because its not as stiff and aggressive .

Sierra Says: Jussi is a hard-carving, park slaying monster. And his board is no different. This board is perfect for the all-mountain freestyle rider that goes big off of every hit in sight. All sizes have a stiffer tail to add uber pop and landing stability. The 156 is a twin shape and is more terrain park friendly, while the 159 is directional shape and geared more toward big mountain freestyl...

Sierra says: "With a 20mm taper this Burton Malolo plows through the toughest powder spots, cliff-drops, and tree lines. With such a taper you should size down 2-4 cm from your average board length so you do not get too much board for yourself. It rides groomed runs adequately, but shows its true self when in deep pow. Want a new all-around powder stick? Well the Malolo is just up your alle...

Sierra says: "Designed with the Custom core this board is a mellower and easy-going version compared to the Supermodel X. With a 10mm taper and a softer flex than the X makes this board easier for the not as advanced rider that still wants to rip it up in the powder and riding down the groomers. It feels like an all-mountain board but rides like a true freeride/powder board." Burton...

Sierra Says: Whoever does not believe in the theory of evolution clearly has not seen the 09 Black Death, Inc. from Capita. This new model is a rad mixture of the late Photo Fetish and Black Death Speed Tribe. Capita took those two boards and fused them together to make a new versatile, aggressive, all-mountain freestyle board that is sure to make a lasting impression among advanced riders. We...

Sierra says: If you’re a female rider looking to further your abilities anywhere on the hill, then look no further than the Flow Infinia. The Infinia has a directional shape, helping to dial in those aggressive edge holds, yet has a mellow enough flex to not buck you like a bull as you’re still gaining the confidence to ride with more speed. With the Whiskey Royale construction, you can let t...

Sierra says: If you’re looking for the do-all board, your search ends here. The Flow Infinite has what most could only wish for. Flow has designed a board that can be ridden at high speeds, yet still remain stable, but can also be taken through the jib course and be soft enough to ride smoothly from start to finish. Take your skills to the next level no matter where you are riding on the mounta...

You’ll never doubt your sketch landings or hairy terrain, as the Team has been trained to take all the beating you can thro...

Sierra says: Every year the Forum Grudge proves itself as one of the premium all-mountain snowboards in the industry. For this season, Forum decided to take the Grudge to a whole new level by removing a 1/2 pound of unnecessary weight and adding the SuperGnar LE3 core. The triax laminates are loaded with carbon strips to add strength and pop. Plus, the Formula speed base absorbs wax like a spo...

Sierra says: The Forum Pat Moore Pro model is an exceptional big mountain snowboard. Its directional shape and Formula base are ideal for smashing through the deeper stuff to find the untouched kickers and cliff drops. The SuperGnar LE1 core is light and responsive with some crazy pop. We recommend this board for the intermediate to advanced all mountain rider who loves to catch huge air on an...

Sierra says: The Forum Roost is a killer powder-specific snowboard with a very surf-oriented feel. This board comes equipped with a tapered shape and setback stance, along with a fast base, to produce a great weapon for the deep powder. We recommend this board for the intermediate to advanced freeride/powder hound. So pick up a Roost if you spend most of your day surfing the fresh stuff or just...

K2 combines the hyper progressive shape with the exclusive powder rocker, bringing you the most fun in the powder you will probably ever have. We recommend the Gyrator to the intermediate to advanced rider who lives for the powder days but will still rip it on the groomers to change up th...

Sierra says: The K2 Zeppelin is historically one of the most progressive and influential snowboards the sport has ever seen. An all mountain annihilator, the Zeppelin is a perfect board for the greedy rider... somebody who wants to exploit the whole mountain on any given day.
