Salomon Highpath Snowboard - 2027 One Color, 153cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took this out on a chunky, wind affected ridge line and it stayed locked in the whole way down. The Quadratic Sidecut made fast direction changes feel almost automatic, and the extra damping underfoot kept the chatter from that rough snow out of my legs. This is a board built for riders who want to go further, not just faster.""The Salomon Highpath Snowboard is built for the traverse before the run, the kind of terrain that asks something of you before it gives anything back. We point it toward a ridge most riders would skip, trusting the edge hold to carry us through wind scoured snow and inconsistent chop without a second thought. That trust is earned through deliberate engineering. Basalt Boosters radiate out from the insert packs toward the nose and tail, adding pop while keeping the flex torsionally alive, and Fiberglass Dampers placed underfoot soak up the vibration that rough, high speed terrain throws back at you. The Popster core transfers energy cleanly into every turn, while the Quadratic Sidecut smooths out direction changes so fast, technical lines feel intuitive instead of forced. An olive wood veneer and bio-based resin construction round things out, so the high path stays a clear conscience choice too."
