Here we are again, at the beginning of a new winter season,
indeed, we would say a “sick” winter season, since the
mountains are almost all covered with snow and resorts are
ready to open. But it’s also a weird one, though.
The Covid19 situation, which initially had a marginal
impact on our sport, is hanging like a threat over our
heads. Do you want to know what we think about it?
TEXT We’re pretty sure it will be an amazing winter season,
Matteo Rossato and this moment of deprivation will make us appreciate
every moment on the hills. Because we’ll shred soon,
that’s for sure. And we’ll do it with a whole new awa-
reness and that fire that will burn more than ever. All
the indicators and insiders confirm the positive trend of
2
snowboarding, which after a negative peak, has come
back stronger and as a full-on grown sport. Snowbo-
arding is no longer a passing fad or an uprise against
two planners, but a real thing that welcomes riders of
all ages and all levels under his wings. There are no
stupid inside struggles like freestyle vs alpine, baggy vs
skinny: we have become one big family with members
of all ages and colors! And all that is so amazing be-
cause it gave the kick to restart business and creativity,
with many new handcrafted brands, new technologies,
a new generation of riders who no longer look at the
pros as rock stars, but models to follow. We can’t wait
for the resorts to open to strap in our new board, tackle
the first turns and dive into the powder.
Let’s make snowboarding great again!

Terrain
All Mountain
For true 360° mountain lovers, for those who do not
want to miss the best of every situation. From fresh
snow to some tricks in the park, you can enjoy good
performance on any terrain.
Freestyle/Park
You just can’t sit still, right? Are you ready to take on
and jib any feature you have around you? The park is
your home and a freestyle board is the one for you.
Freeride
Pure love for the true essence of the mountain. Nothing
else. If you feel this, you can call yourself a freerider.
When you see some woods or a pristine powder
downhill you are always there to leave your first trace.
Split
If climbing for you is at least as important as riding
down and you want to gain every single turn with your
legs, split boards are what they do for you. Experience
the mountain 100% in all its essence.
Carving
Do you like riding at high speed with your face inches
away from the frozen snow and face such precise and
powerful heart-attack-proof corners? All the products
with this logo were created for those like you who
always have their foot on the accelerator.
Racing
Is the checkered flag your mantra and are you
competitive even in the queue for the apres ski? This
type of products are highly performing and suitable for
competitions. But be careful, they must be tamed like
racehorses, are you sure you are capable of it?
Performance
Flex
Usually a soft and not very reactive board is perfect for
jibbing, a medium soft and reactive one is indicated
for a park use and a rigid one is for freeride. Choose
the one that best suits your style, even through this
important aspect! Our flex are rated from 1 to 10.
Pop
By Pop we mean the playfulness of a board, its reaction
to be bent. If a board has a lot of Pop with a minimum
effort you will have very powerful ollies!
Handling
This indicates the maneuverability - the higher it is the
more manageable the board is to control and therefore
more manageable.
Design rate
Obviously this parameter is subjective and indicates
how pleasant the graphics of a board are or not,
regardless of the level of the artwork.
6
Shape
Directional
Directional boards are characterized by the more
pronounced nose shape larger than the tail. Generally
used for freeride purposes, like in powder and
backcountry.
Twin Directional
Nose and tail can have different sizes, as the setback
means it is shifted towards the tail by a few centimeters
and the sidecut may not be progressive. Perfect on the
groomers and for freeride.
Twin Tip
Twin tip boards are characterized by the same nose
and tail. A twin tip board is perfect for freestyle in all
conditions.
Camber
Indicates the type of board profile that can be positive,
negative, flat camber or the various mixes that the most
important brands propose.
Features
Fast Lacing
The double-rod system drastically reduces the
possibility that the lacing becomes loose and allows
the closure of the upper and inner liner to be adjusted
independently.
Traditional Lacing
Type of traditional boot lacing. The boot is
characterized by a closure composed of the classic lace-
up system. Functional, practical and comfortable!
Boa Lacing
Patented lacing system that uses a special knob
generally connected to hyper resistant laces that make
the fit firm and comfortable even after several hours of
riding.
Fabric
Indicates the type of fabric used to make a specific
outerwear garment. Polyester, Gore-Tex or plyamide,
the final choice is up to you!
Woman
If you find this logo it does not mean that this product
is also suitable for women, but instead it is an article
designed and created specifically for the them.
Youth
Is your little guy already a fan of our world? Well done!
The good news is that many companies are already
thinking about him and realizing suitable products for
his riding.

NX2
– IDEAL FOR BIG DAYS IN ALL SNOW CONDITIONS ON ALL TYPES OF TERRAIN.

The NX2 is for all-mountain riders in need of a stiff, responsive binding with lots of support. The rockered,
aluminum baseplate delivers direct energy transfer and maintains natural boardfeel. Our Glass-filled Nylon
ModBack and Active Strap Technology make it highly adjustable and easy to use. And the all-new ExoKush
PowerStrap makes the NX2 very responsive, and still super comfortable. www.flow-bindings.com
 Sequence Week.
Riding, Testing & Chilling.
During the past winter, wandering around Europe
between events, shootings and product presentations,
we immediately realized that our Sequence Guide is
probably the only product guide dedicated to the world
of snowboarding produced in Europe. This is a reason
for us to be proud but it is also an important responsibility
towards the snowboard market and all enthusiasts who
approach the purchase of a board, a boot or a binding.
TEXT Once the shock was over, the working process for the
Denis Piccolo production of our guide began already with the first
PHOTOS snowfalls. Everything always begins with the first se-
Camilla Pizzini asonal openings, starting from Hintertux where the
opening of Hot Zone is an unmissable event, then con-
tinuing with Kaunertal, Stubai, passing by the Stelvio.
Why go there? During these first events we have the
preliminary feedback from the real judges of the mar-
ket: consumers.
8
We like to listen and understand the feedback of those
who constantly practice our sport and what they think
of new products in order to immediately realize if the
tests we did a few months before have worked or we
need to improve something.
The winter begins as the first business to business tests,
we usually collaborate with Shop 1st Try in Austria, Rock
On Snowboard Pro in France and Back to the Roots in
Italy. During these tests all the buyers of the best Euro-
pean shops test the boards of the following year for a
few days. As for a farmer who reaps the first fruits, for
us this is the time to collect data, dozens or hundreds
of interviews and feedback about boards of the new
lines that will end up in our Drive. A few days later we
fly to ISPO, where we talk with the designers of the
collections to discuss the latest news of their brands.
We examine them and try to get read the mind of tho-
se who designed, studied and produced that specific
product. All this could probably be enough, but more
than 10 years of experience with our Buyer’s Guide has
taught us that we need a further test, our own one,
where to invite the best buyers of the shops that distri-
bute Sequence magazine in addition to coaches, ex pro
riders and some amateurs, in order to have the most
complete evaluations possible.

This year we organized the Sequence Test at Breuil Cer-

vinia, in order to be another tool for consumers and
professionals who can learn from the feedback obtai-
ned from the judgments of a pool of highly professional
testers. The group was created in order to get a final
judgment that is as objective, professional and reliable.
The testers whom have been carefully selected can
boast an important and diversified background in the
various aspects of snowboarding: former athletes, coa-
ches, guides, buyers and industry insiders.

 What is the first step?
The most exciting moment arrives. We begin to receive
all the selected boards in stock. Our eyes are like those
of a child when he gets up on Christmas day and has to
unpack his presents. All the boards are then organised
and classified, and the grid is formed with the parame-
ters that will build, together with the general impres-
sion, the final report. The boards are all checked and
the measurements declared by the company compared
with appropriate equipment. Then the test sequen-
ce of the boards is prepared for each tester: for each
of the tests, each tester will always mount the same
binding, so as to get a result based on common basic
parameters. The boards are pre-mounted for the first
round of tests in the warehouse with the parameters of
the first tester that will test them. Important note: the
boards are not waxed or modified in any way because
our intention is to give feedback on the exact product
the company sends to the stores and which will con-
sequently end up in the hands of the final consumer.

 How do we do the tests?
The group of testers consists of about 20 buyers from as
many European shops, some coaches, us from the Se-
quence staff, a photographer and a filmer. We set off for
the designated location, and for the second consecutive
year we chose BreuilCervinia. The test obviously takes pla-
ce over several days which are organized in this way: wake
up at dawn so as to be in front of the lifts in time for the first
chair. We build up the booths and we prepare the boards,
set up a computer for data entry at the end of the test and
a recorder to collect global impressions. The Sequence
staff at the booth, with the test sequence, prepares the bo-
ards for the next round and waits for each tester to collect
their feedback. This operation is repeated until the lifts are
closed for all the test days. The last day, at the end of the
test, there is a meeting where the data is double checked
and each tester is interviewed to confirm and / or imple-
ment their own judgments on the individual products.

 What do we do
with the collected data?
Tired but happy we return to the editorial office, as
all the data are collected, processed and compared
with those provided by the companies. A copywriter,
together with the members of Sequence staff who
conducted the tests, compiles the texts of the review:
this is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks because
in just over 1500 characters the opinions and an im-
pressive amount of data must be summarized. Once
drafted, each individual review is checked and shared
with the testers. At this point every products is sent to
the photo studio, where it is shot in every single detail
by our photographers.

What do we do
about all those boards?
Once the tests are completed, all the gear is returned to
the companies and the final report is shared with them
without possibility of modification. We believe that an
honest and balanced report, the result of the opinions
of experienced and reliable testers, as well as with very
different styles and skills, can be a valid tool for evalua-
ting the product from the consumer’s point of view. In
a short time the Sequence Snowboard Guide is going
to be printed out and then it’s your turn to open your
copy of the guide, read and learn from this long but
precious job.

 Go Breuil Cervinia or Go Home.
Our home for the Sequence Tests.
It is always difficult to choose the right location of our Sequence
Tests, but when it comes to going to Cervinia, there are no doubts
left. For years it has been one of the best equipped and most
complete winter and summer resorts for snowboarders. But there’s
more, riding at the foot of the Matterhorn is priceless and while
wandering through the various pubs on groomers or in the city
you will always meet some friends to share a beer with.
Breuil-Cervinia is undoubtedly one of the most renowned
and extensive resorts in the entire Alpine arc, together
with the Valtournenche and Zermatt area, it is one of the
TEXT resorts that first believed in the evolution and spread of
Daniele Milano
snowboarding. Already around the end of the 1980s the
first snowboarders appeared in Cervinia. Colorful jumpsu-
its, strictly oversized five-finger gloves. The exclusive re-
sort begins to understand what that “transverse sliding”
means, which is welcomed with open arms by the locals.
Incredible right? Cervinia, cradle of modern mountainee-
ring. Summer destination for several years of the famous
writer Edmondo de Amicis, who found the right inspiration
for his masterpieces among the untouched peaks. And
22
again Cervinia, the undisputed protagonist of incredible
ascents of its alpine peaks, thanks to the indelible feats of
the greatest mountaineers of the modern era. Cervinia be-
comes the cradle of snowboarding. The parallel slalom at
night in the Crétaz parterre, immediately behind the start
of the ski lifts, remain indelible memories in the mind of its
inhabitants. Every week the strongest snowboarders from
the neighbouring regions of Piedmont, Lombardy and Li-
guria triggered fantastic challenges with the Aosta Valley
heroes between the narrow poles.
A little bit of history. Indianpark Snowpark.
The Indianpark was born in the autumn of 2003, from the
idea of three snowboard coaches, Ivo Letey, Daniele Mila-
no and Luigi Carletti. Initially positioned at the height of
the Fornet ski lift, at almost 3000 meters above sea level,
it was considered one of the highest snowparks in Europe
on snowfields. In recent years, thanks to the help of the
lifts companies, the snow park has found a new location
at track 26, an area with an extremely strategic position,
exactly in the center of the entire area. Reachable by two
different ski lifts, the Plan Maison and the Pancheron, it
ensures an excellent turnout of riders of all levels, espe-
cially during weekends and during Christmas, Carnival and
Easter.
23
 Currently managed by We Snowboard, the local snowbo-
ard club, it has a highly professional staff that has gained
great experience over the years: Daniele Milano, Daniele
Scagliotti, Mattia Canovi, Ugo Tassistro and Lucio Fargnoli
are the five snowboard coaches that divide their commit-
ment between the management of the snowpark and the
educational activities of the We Snowboard Club, ensuring
a 360° service that goes far beyond the construction and
maintenance of the snowpark itself. Competitive events,
get togethers, courses for instructors, freestyle snowbo-
ard lessons and free field, are just some of the activities
offered, which are flanked by numerous end-of-season
barbecues, real happenings that gather hundreds of riders
and supporters, to greet in the best way the season that is
drawing to a close.
Park in numbers.
With an overall length of over 1km, the snow park is part
of a much larger snowboard/freestyle ski area, which also
includes a permanent boardercross track and a fun course.
24
The boardercross track is regularly frequented by the FISI Indian Park
National team as a training track for the preparation of the FB: indianpark snowpark Breuil Cervinia
IG: indianpark_cervinia
most important World Cup races. The snowpark is divided
into two areas, the upper and lower parts, joined by an
Indian Park
intermediate connection, which still allows two separate
FB: wesnowboard.cervinia
entries. There are three main lines of different difficulty, IG: wesnowboard_cervinia

res, rails and boxes. Distinguished by the letters S, M, L,
Cervinia
the kickers vary according to their size. The first ones are
FB: Breuil Cervinia Valtournenche
the smaller ones, dedicated specifically to teaching the IG: cerviniavalt
first freestyle rudiments, combined with very basic rail www.cervinia.it
boxes, precisely to allow an approach to freestyle as pain-
less as possible.
Then we find medium kickers, with dimensions between
3 and 6-7 meters, perfect for testing your skills on more
complex rides. Obviously, bigger kickers cannot be mis-
sing, perfect for the most advanced riders, a real training
gym for many athletes, who usually spend their days in the
park training.
The L zone, meaning Large Size, has structures that exce-
ed abundantly 10 meters to allow not only the carrying
out of training and fiery sessions among the best riders,
but also the organization of regional and national even-
ts, which in the years have seen among the protagonists
the best riders of the Italian snowboard scene. Next to the
snow park, a fun line entirely dedicated to children has
also been inaugurated, characterized by the presence of
numerous animated structures that allow an extremely
playful approach to the practice of freestyle.
We Snowboard Club.
Born in 2011, thanks to the initiative of two young coaches
Ugo Tassistro and Mattia Canovi, We Snowboard Club
has also been directly managing Indianpark snowpark for
some seasons now. The snowpark/snowclub combination
allows to offer a unique service throughout the national
territory. The constructive and design skills of the work
team, which operates within the park, are in absolute
synergy with the main needs of the snowboard club’s in-
structors and coaches, ensuring the development of the
most suitable strategies, guaranteeing a great result for
both activities.
For this reason, today We snowboard club is among the
most prestigious teams at national level and year after
year enriches its palmares with victories and podium pla-
cements. The snowboard club offers its members snow-
board instructors and national coaches, who find a real
lifestyle in teaching. The activity of the snowboard club,
as well as covering the entire winter season of Cervinia,
one of the largest in the entire Alpine arc, begins as early
as the end of October, ending in conjunction with the re-
gular closure of the lifts at the end of the season. For some
seasons now, the winter courses have been accompanied
by summer camps, which take place entirely on the Swiss
glacier of Zermatt, which in turn has a top-level snow park.
The Camp is based in the splendid Rider’s House located
a few meters from the lifts and equipped with everything
you need to practice sports, including a trampoline to im-
prove your acrobatic skills. In summer it is also possible
to test the following season’s Nitro boards and bindings
during the Camps. Since 2017 We snowboard has been
chosen by the ski resort as the organizing club of the sta-
ge of the Snowboardcross World Cup in Cervinia, during
which it deals with the construction of the slope and the
direction of the race.

 Testers
Choosing testers is not an easy task.
We rely on expert riders, coaches,
shop buyers, former pros and simple
amateurs. In this way we can have a
complete overview and feedback for all
snowboarding levels. What everyone
must absolutely have in common is the
passion for snowboarding! If you want to

 How to read the tests

4 5 6 7

28
For better clarity, each test was divided into a textual part and a series
of parameters and judgments, on a scale of values from 1 to 10.
1) Global impression
The first part is dedicated to the global impression, a summary of a
few lines wrapping up the impressions of our testers. Generally we
start with the general feeling that the product has arisen and then we
go deeper through the features and performances on various terrains.
2) We Like
Each product has its strengths and Achilles heels. We have summari-
zed what we believe are the strengths in short but clear texts.
3) General info
This section contains information from the brand, as a camber type, sha-
pe and theoretical flex.
4) General specs
The paragraph summarizing the various measures of the tested
model provided by the company and then verified by us in the
laboratory.
5) Riding terrain
There are performing and difficult products as well as products with
high performance for advanced riders that can be easily used by less
experienced users: this grid gives you an idea of whether the board
is bread for your teeth or not. The higher the score, the better the
board is for a certain type of rider.
6) Riding level
We have established 10 different numerical judgment parameters and
asked our testers to give their opinion after the global impression and the
pros and cons. The ratings range from 1 to 10, where 10 is the maximum.
7) Performance
Snowboard products are becoming more and more versatile, so we
focused on all mountain and freestyle. A freeride product can be a
great all mountain as well as an excellent all mountain can also be
suitable for park riding. 10 dots means very suitable for that terrain,

 How to choose your setup.
Choosing the right gear is one of the most important
step to prepare for winter season. Often and willingly
underestimated, carelessly done or according to totally wrong
principles. Buying unsuitable gear is like seriously worsening
the quality of the time you spend with the board under your feet
and consequently you will have spent your money badly.
We will never get tired of repeating that physical shops
are a fundamental element of the commercial and cultu-
TEXT ral scene of snowboarding: a good shopkeeper can ad-

coming from cool graphics or inspirational photos seen on
Camilla Pizzini Instagram. This does not cut out online retailers, who still
remain the future of the business, as long as they have a
real customer service that can help you make your mind.
Having done this necessary preamble, let’s talk about the
most important details.
First of all, the questions to ask before entering a physical
store or browse through an online shop are: How much
time do I really spend on the board in a season? What
is my real ability level? What is my favorite terrain? What
budget do I have?
30
Once you have honestly answered these four questions
you can start shopping. In the last ten years, technology
in snowboarding has made a great leap forward and today
you have a wide choice of solutions to buy high quality,
functional gears without having a Russian oligarch budget.
We will not divide this chapter into sections dedicated to
boards, bindings, boots and outerwear because the inten-
tion is to provide you with a general critical tool to consult
the pages of this guide and approach the choice of your
gears with knowledge. In the following pages you will find
interesting insights for each component of your gear, whi-
ch, if you have the patience to read, will provide you with
further valuable elements to make the best purchase.
How much time do I really
spend on the board in a season?
This is the fundamental question, like the one found in the
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie, whose answer was
42. If you are a die hard snowboarder, who hardly misses
a weekend during winter season, then the advice is to
spend your money wisely but not to skimp on gears con-
vinced that you will change it next year: you would only
slow down your learning process for a few hundred euros
and you would have half the fun. If, on the other hand,
you are an occasional rider, do not be enchanted by the
best gear or by the one sponsored on social networks that
show the rider on his new carbon freeride board, becau-
se you probably will never get to tackle that same type
of terrain or you wouldn’t be able to appreciate a carbon
board. In short, we must be self-critical and not let the nar-
row-minded or wannabe guy that hides in each one of us
decide. Remember, to get better you need to do a lot of
snowboarding, don’t get excited with shiny new graphics
between the bindings.
What is my real ability level?
Another very insidious but equally fundamental question.
Let’s face it clearly: many of us believe to be better than
they actually are, especially in preseason when we use this
ploy as a motivational lever to accelerate progression. A
kind of sling effect. But sometimes this effect has negative
consequences. For example, if you are little more than a
beginner but you see a pro on his board and you want it
at all costs, convinced that it will bring you closer to the
level of that rider, you are very wrong. Indeed, it will have
the opposite effect, making you feel even more incapable.
Some particularly technical boards need the control and
legs of an advanced rider, which does not mean a su-
perman, but a person who devotes a lot of his time to
snowboarding. The same thing can be said for boots for
example: if you don’t intend to jump for days on 20 me-
ters high kickers or to turn at all speed with your elbow
on the ground, maybe that boot is not suitable for you,
you could instead risk to hate him at the third corner and
try to sell him, without success, after the first weekend.
Obviously the opposite is also true: if you are a snowboard
bum, meaning a good rider who buys the boards used
by the sponsored friend or who always looks for cheap
boards, you do not realize that you are making the wrong
choice. Maybe you do everything to live in the mountains
and to ride every day, like working at night, then to save
on gears at the end of the season you have changed 2
boards, 2 boots and a pair of bindings. You add up and
you spent the same.
What is my favorite terrain?
We have reached such a level that pro gear is truly the best
in its field of expertise, just as there are boards, bindings
and boots that do their dirty work in a glorious way on all
terrains. What kind of rider are you? Most of those you see
in the resorts are all mountain snowboarders with various
drifts: park, powder, carving. There are excellent all moun-
tain compromises with all three disciplines mentioned
above. To tell the truth, most of the boards on the market
today are excellent for curves and then, depending on the
discipline, they are more or less stable in speed and fast in
the edge change. However, there are also riders who get
up, go to the park and stay as long as their legs hold up,
just as there are freeriders who use the track only to move
from one off-piste to another. You have to be honest and
understand what you like to do with the board under your
feet. Please spare us from indecent shows like the guy who
climbs the glacier in July with a 170cm directional swal-
lowtail. Or, if you love trekking in the summer, this does
not automatically make you expert splitboarders: you must
know that split boards are a compromise of performance,
lightweight and practicality of transport, so not exactly the
top if then 90% of your time is spent on groomers. The
opposite is also true: if you don’t try tricks on the rails all
day, don’t buy jibbing boards and then complain that your
ears shake when you pick up speed.
What budget do I have?
The credit card is an ugly beast. It always lends you mo-
ney, but then it wants it back on time, usually with interest.
Spending astronomical amounts on gears does not make
you any better or cooler: on the contrary, having brand
new and hyper trendy gear and then being pathetic only
makes you posers. The gear must be changed when it no
longer works well, or, if your father is the famous Russian
oligarch mentioned above, when you like. To date, almost
all boards on the market work well and, with the same
performance, there are boards with a considerable price
gap, perhaps because some brands have more power-
ful marketing or because their target price is higher than
another brand. However, there are certain terrains or uses
that require quality gears, so it is useless to spend less
to have less and not be able to do what you want. Also,
depending on your preferred terrain, there will be more
important pieces of gear to devote a good portion of your
budget to. Usually the boot is the piece of gear to which
the least economic effort is dedicated: either because it is
hidden, or because it only has to keep your foot in the bin-
ding. Nothing more wrong! Spending 90% of your budget
on board, bindings and cool outerwear and use the remai-
ning money on boots or even putting American tape into
the old ones because “who will see it?”, will only give you
great cramps in the soles of your feet and unnecessary leg
fatigue. Got the concept? Spend money where needed.

 Twin or Directional?
The YouTube era has taught us how to create clickbait
titles to grab your attention and get you to read boring
articles about board shapes, so here we are.
Seriously, the explosion of carving and old school shapes
has revealed the great confusion that has been genera-
ted regarding snowboards outlines, that’s why we’re here
to quickly explain to you what difference exists between
a true twin board, a full directional and all the interme-
diate shapes.
Directional Twin
Directional twins are a compromise between true twin and
directional shapes: in fact they have an outline twin, but
the stance is shifted back and usually the flex is also diffe-
rent, just as it can have a non-symmetrical camber. Some-
times some directional twins have a slightly longer nose
than tail (but the contact surface is still symmetrical) and
others have a centered stance. Directional twins are usual-
ly all mountain or all mountain freestyle boards. Switch
riding isn’t as easy as true twins but it’s still quite intuitive.

True Twin Directional

The so-called true twin shapes are nothing more than
outlines where the stance is centered, the sidecut is sym-
metrical and usually the shape of nose and tail is also the
same. However, over the years there have been twin sha-
pes where the nose and tail had different shapes: these
are still to be considered as twin tips.
These shapes are ideal for the park, the pipe and also for
those who enjoy having fun on groomers with press and
butter, because entry and exit from the curves is always
the same in both directions. Twin shapes usually have
sidecuts that are not too radical, which therefore help
cornering. Some twin shapes, however, have multiradius
or fairly deep sidecuts (with a smaller radius), especially
when it comes to technical boards.
Asymmetrical True Twin
There is also an asymmetrical variant, the asymmetrical
true twin, where the sidecut of the backside edge is
deeper than the frontside edge: this is to equalize the
cornering speed, which is usually always greater in front.
Tighter radius, faster turn: the result is the same front and
back cornering ability. Sometimes the latter type needs
to be studied a little bit more, but once you understand
how it works it’s done.
Finally we have the much loved directionals. If until 2010
they seemed extinct, they have now slowly come back
and today everyone wants a directional: for powder, for
groomers, for park. In truth, if we talk about groomers
and powder, directionals are obviously a logical choice
if not the favorite one but in freestyle riding the one that
rules all is the true twin. There are few examples of di-
rectional boards that can easily tackle a park. The so-cal-
led fun boards, or boards with modified volume are good
for some light park cruising, for side hits and for some
turns in powder, but they are not boards designed for
real park riding.
What to choose?
In the end there is no better shape than another, or at
least it does not exist in an absolute way. The choice of
the shape must be made consciously and considering the
use that you will make out of it, accepting what could be
the limits and fully enjoying the qualities. If you are just
starting out, surely a true twin will help you not only to
understand if you are a regular or goofie rider without
consequences, but you will learn more easily to tackle any
turns. If, on the other hand, you already have confiden-
ce with the board and you like to hit slopes fast or face
powder, maybe a directional board is the one for you.

 Laces, fast lacing
or hard boots?
Let’s close this roundup with the least considered, but
perhaps most important piece of gear, the boot.
Sometimes we think about boots as comfortable shells
that keep our feet warm and that simply don’t have to hurt
us, they just have to look cool and end up in the binding.
Wrong. Boots do a very important job: power transmission,
support and obviously comfort and response are neces-
sary requirements for them to succeed in their important
job. Boot technology has evolved a lot in the last 20 years
and today specific boots are available on the market for
every type of discipline, from jibbing to splitboard till car-
ving/all mountain, both with rigid and semi-rigid hulls. For
now let’s consider the macro category of soft boots and
analyze the different kind of lacing, with pros and cons.
Traditional lacing
The snowboard boot was born with laces (we’re talking
about soft ones) and many brands continue to blindly be-
lieve in this system, especially those with a skate heritage.
Traditional lacing actually allows a customization that no
other type of closure allows, being able to act on each sin-
gle eyelet and setting the desired pressure with the stren-
gth of the hands. Freestyle is perhaps its frontier zone, with
the classic lace that wins in jibbing-park disciplines and the
fast lacing that performs better on big contest features.
Lately, however, several brands have begun to offer hybrid
boots with both systems, in order to tight the inner shoe
and at the same time take care of the outer shell: the best
of both worlds.
Fast lacing
Let’s get to fast lacing systems, Here we basically have two
macro families: Boa and non Boa. In recent seasons, Boa in
all its variations is literally taking hold and replacing many
fast lacing systems, some of which remain and are truly
effective. Boa actually has a more tenacious menagerie
level, but on the other hand fast lacing systems with kevlar
cables are more similar to traditional lacing ones in terms
of rigidity. Almost all fast lacing are bizonal now, i.e. one
knob governs the lower part and one the upper part of
the boot: this allows you to obtain a more precise fit and
closer to your needs. However, Boa can also be bi-zonal;
in some cases there are even three Boa. Boa tends to be a
little more resistant, and thanks to the steel knobs and the
We have now come to an end where we should decide a winner. In truth,
the boot is such a personal choice that it is difficult to make a ranking.
At this point the choice is yours and remember that in the end it is highly personal,
based on the principles of comfort, tightness and performance required.

spring retraction system you will not find the laces around
the boot or touching the ground, even if now many fast la-
cing systems provide pockets and retention systems.
Outside the macro-family of soft boots, we have hard bo-
ots or hybrid ones. An article on Gear Patrol at the end
of 2019 asserts that the evolution of snowboard boots is
inhibited by the bond that the latter maintains with skate-
boarding, which makes advanced users (pros) skeptical in
the use of rigid or pseudo-rigid boots. We do not feel we
can support or oppose this theory, but certainly polymers
have improved a lot and therefore maybe in the future
other categories outside the alpine ones will benefit from
rigid boots. The return of carving, however, seems to have
reinvigorated the hard boot sector and split bindings for ri-
gid boots are already available on the market, broadening
their spectrum of use. Halfway between hard and soft are
hybrid boots, they use a rigid shell and a soft knee-high,
and offer the reactivity of a hard boot but the comfort simi-
lar to a soft one: an example is the all mountain Deeluxe’s
Ground Control.
What to choose?
We have now come to an end where we should decide
a winner. In truth, the boot is such a personal choice that
it is difficult to make a ranking, even if you can make an
effort to classify the various categories in potential uses.
In backcountry, the use of hard boots is beginning to be
seen even if soft ones are still the master, in particular tho-
se dedicated with snow gaiters, binding for crampons,
notched technical sole and normally with rigid flex and
possibly settable in hike or ride mode . As lacing, perhaps
Boa or the various fast laces are preferred, although the
hybrid Boa-laces systems have shown great functionality
and versatility. Groomers belongs to everyone: maximum
performance is achieved with hard boots, or with step ins,
or soft Boa/fast lacing boots with a rigid flex: on the bea-
ten track, the watchwords are support and responsiveness.
As already pointed out before, freestyle is a frontier land,
with fast lacing systems that have more grip between half
pipes and slope style riders, while for classic park riding
and jibbing there is nothing that surpasses the good old
traditional lace. At this point the choice is yours and re-
member that in the end it is highly personal, based on the
principles of comfort, tightness and performance required.

 Straps or Step In?
In the past three seasons, since Burton has questioned the
current binding technology by introducing its Step-On,
this same question has been bouncing around everywhe-
re in the snowboarding scene. Burton’s choice has been
right and it has been demonstrated by the fact that other
big names in the snowboard business have reintroduced
step in systems in their catalog.
For example, K2 XHB Clicker debuted just this year, com-
pletely revamped and with very positive feedback from
most of the testers who have had the opportunity to try
it. Or DC, which licensed Burton to produce boots with
Step-On technology.
The initial skepticism of some people was defeated by
tests; this skepticism, however, is justified by past expe-
riences, when in the mid-nineties the first wave of step
in systems revealed perhaps more limits than potential.
As the coming back of carving and the growth of splitbo-
arding, the return of step in bindings is an excellent sign
that snowboarding is no longer a “toy” for rebellious kids,
but a real alternative sport to skiing with an audience of
very different ages and needs. Step in does not require
you to bend down to hook and therefore, in addition to
being quick and guaranteeing the same performance as
a classic binding with strap, it is also ideal for those who
are no longer kids and would therefore gladly avoid doing
squats every now and then. That said, step in is not to be
considered a binding for old guys, as it has amply proven
to be an extremely reliable system, as well as fast, espe-
cially in the all mountain and freeride fields.
Step In system
What are the step in proposals to date? If we talk about
a binding without a strap with a boot that locks through
leverage, then we have the three mentioned above. What
are their differences? Mainly the attachment points of the
boot. While Burton features a rear pin above the heel and
two front “spurs” on the sides, the K2’s keeps everything
in the sole with a front hooking flange and rear block. The
fulcrums are very different but the binding structure on
the board is the same: hull + highback.
Rear Entry system
Halfway between the step in system and the traditional
one, however, there is another solution, used by two
brands with as many technologies: it is the rear entry
system, proposed by Flow with the Active Strap and by
Step In in general remains the absolute best when it comes to all mountain
and groomers performance, if you are a backcountry rider perhaps better to go
with a traditional system, perhaps those dedicated to split if your ascents are on foot.
Finally, on the freestyle side, the traditional system still rule it all.

SP’s Auto.Rs. This system features a floating highback and
anklet, which fold down at the rear, allowing the boot to
enter. Once inside, you just have to lift the highback and
lock it using the special levers located on the ankle strap
for both brands. Depending on the model, you will have
the option of using the binding also in a totally classic
version or using the Rear Entry. These two systems are
an excellent compromise for those who want the conve-
nience of step in, while maintaining a classic interface. If
SP offers bindings ranging from backcountry to jibbing,
Flow focuses much more on performance while remaining
in the all mountain-freeride area. Both technologies are
equally valid.
Traditional system
Finally, we have traditional bindings, i.e. those consisting
of a hull, a highback, ankle strap and toe strap. Also within
the latter category there are different technological varian-
ts, which make the binding’s performance different and
unique. Burton has been offering the ReFlex for several
seasons, which eliminates dead spots under the binding
base thanks to a flexible baseplate system. Now for years
has based its entire collection on Skate Tech, a fulcrum
located in the middle of the hull that makes the basepad
float like a skate truck, helping cornering in a natural way.
Other brands such as Union, have staked everything on
materials and performance, raising the most classic bin-
ding configuration to the state of the art: materials such
as Vaporlite, Duraflex CB Nylon and an advanced use of
Forged Carbon make these bindings true Formula One
cars in terms of resistance and comfort.
What to choose?
We have therefore come to conclusions once again. Is
there an absolute best system? Yes, if we are talking about
a specific terrain and use. Step In in general remains the
absolute best when it comes to all mountain and groo-
mers performance, because the rigidity and response of
the system, in association with the coupling speed, make
the experience truly unique. Alternatively, just as valid and
slightly less fast, we have the rear entry.
If you are a backcountry rider perhaps better to go with
a traditional system, perhaps those dedicated to split if
your ascents are on foot. Finally, on the freestyle side, the
traditional system still rule it all, even if for hike sessions
the speed of fit of a rear entry can make you gain a couple
of runs on your session mates.

 A future without straps.
In 2018, after a few years of development,
Burton introduces its new step in
system, the Step On. Exactly two
years later, K2 also launches its new
step in system called Clicker XB.

Is the snowboard market, after the flop of Step In and
Clickers a few years ago, ready to accept to take a step
towards the future? We tested both of them, and we were
thrilled. And those who think they are less cool than tradi-
tional bindings obviously like to have their asses wet.
We interviewed the two developers of the Burton and K2
systems, which are very similar under some aspects, but
also totally different. Get over it, the future has never been
so close.
Burton Step On
When was the idea and the need to create a
Burton step in system born? The need for a step in
system has always been there. We have always looked for
a fast system between the snowboarder and his board.
The old Step-in systems just prove it.
How long did the development and implemen-
tation process of the first Step On take? This
project has been in Burton’s minds for many years but was
only made available to the public when we were sure it
was safe. On December 13th 2012 the “minds” behind
the Step On met in the so-called WhiteRoom until April
13th. From May 13th to February 2014 they came up with
different concepts with 3, then 4 connection points and
then again with 3. In mid-2014, tests in the laboratory be-
gan and then we had a further 3000 hours of snow tests.
Jake and Donna tested it for the first time in August 2015
in Chile. Terje Haackonsen competed with it in a banked
slalom race in June 2016. The public got them in a very
limited number in winter 2018. So I would say that it has
been a very long process.
The first step in systems a few years ago didn’t
work very well, do you think this could affect to-
day’s market? Absolutely yes! Unfortunately, there are
some people who, burned by the experience with the old
step in systems, think that even today we the standard is
the same. To these people I would just say: try it and you
will never go back!
Why do purest riders tend to prefer traditional
bindings? We need to define the concept of purest ri-
ders. If we’re talking about pros, they were not volunta-
rily the target of the first editions of the Step On or the
product offered was not developed to accommodate the
technical needs of these athletes. With the Step On X re-
leased on 5 November 2020, the level of “performance”
has been specifically raised with the direct involvement of
the Team Burton and the feedback was very positive. Then
we have to take habit into consideration, people who
have a very complex race calendar also have little time
to adapt to a new system and at the same time progress
their tricks. Paradoxically last season, where many races
were canceled due to Covid, we saw many Burton team
riders voluntarily approach the Step On to familiarize with
the system. If, on the other hand, we shift our attention to
expert riders looking for a “core” feeling, Step On is able
to offer a much more immediate and therefore reactive
board/binding/boot connection than traditional bindin-
gs. Obviously, like all new things, it requires a period of
adaptation and above all an approach not conditioned by
considerations related to the first Step In models, that look
almost prehistoric now.
Do you believe that the future of snowboarding
are step in bindings? I strongly believe so, I don’t see
why consumers shouldn’t prefer and want a more comfor-
table, easier, less maintenance system that gives the same
performance. More experienced riders will appreciate the
quick edge change and more precise board control. The
advice is to judge once the “break-in” phase of the boot is
over, but this obviously applies to all new models that are
worn for the first time.
Tell me a good reason why should I go from my
old bindings to a Step On system. Simple. Because
you will fall in love with them, you will not find a reason to
go back, you will really feel more connected to your board
and they are more intuitive and direct than traditional bin-
dings. The future cannot be stopped!

 K2 Clicker X HB
When was the idea and the need to create a K2
step in system born? K2 Snowboarding has made the
Clicker step-in binding system for over 25 years, with a
constant emphasis on improving functionality and pro-
viding riders with the best boot-to-binding connection
possible. Our traditional Clicker step-in system required
a very rigid boot, and we decided that we really wanted
to be able to flex and tweak just like a traditional strap
binding, and the idea was born.
How long did the development and implemen-
tation process of the first Clicker X HB take?
We’ve been developing the Clicker X system in the
background for approximately 36 months. Throughout
this time the goal has remained the same , focusing on
delivering a high-performance, intuitive boot-to-bin-
ding interface.

The first step in systems a few years ago didn’t As a brand, we believe
work very well, do you think this could affect to-
day’s market? It goes without saying that the systems that the future of

snowboard boot over a “traditional” material.
What kind of rider is it intended for? The Clicker X
HB system is intended for riders of all ages and abilities.
With the goal of providing snowboarders a familiar flex
and feel, the K2 Clicker X HB boot-to-binding in-terfa-
ce allows natural medial and lateral mobility. This makes
riding on hardpack, groomers and in powder feel very
similar to a traditional binding system.
Why do purest riders tend to prefer traditional
bindings? Traditional strap bindings will never go out
of style. Guitar purists still love a Fender Stratocaster.
Skateboarder purists still love a Vans Old Skool. Baseball
players still love a Louisville Slugger.
Do you believe that the future of snowboarding
are step in bindings? As a brand, we believe that the
future of snowboarding is wrapped in innovation. Inno-
vation in shapes, technologies, materials, and interfaces.
Do you think this system will help snowboarding
to further grow its user base? In redesigning this sy-
stem the goal was to give the customers, new and old, an
approachable system that gives them additional options
for their needs. Hopefully this with all of the other op-
tions gives the end users the confidence and excitement
to get involved in the sport we have dedicated our lives
to whether they are new or just coming back after trying
something new.
The next step for the Clicker X HB System? Any
future project? The goal with the the Clicker X HB
system is to continue to expand our offering, to allow
snowboarders to truly find the best boot and binding
combination for their personal style. We hope to achieve
this by expanding the product offering for the Clicker X
HB boot range.
Tell me a good reason why should I go from my
old bindings to a Clicker X system. We believe that
bindings are a personal preference and that there is spa-
ce in the market for all, but the Clicker X HB’s benefits are
equal part boot and binding. The all-new Click-er X HB
provides a secure metal toe and heel mount point; aiding
in quick edge-to-edge response, and natural lateral mo-
bility for a familiar flex and feel.

 Vibram: how the sole
can make the difference.
Since 1993 Vibram has been collaborating with
snowboard brands for the development of boot soles. Over the
years there have been many evolutions and performance has
made great strides, and now more and more snowboard compa-
nies rely on Vibram for the development of dedicated soles.
We felt the need to deepen the discussion directly with them.

What are the features of Vibram soles for
snowboard boots? Over time, snowboard boots have
undergone a huge evolution, they have differentiated into
different categories and have become more and more
specific depending on the activity. Vibram has always
been in step with the times, offering solutions dedica-
ted to every context, such as freeriding, freestyle and all
mountain. For example, some features such as the ability
42
to absorb impacts and sensitivity while surfing are tran-
sversal across all categories, while properties such as li-
ghtweight or performance on technical terrain are specific
to certain segments. Another fundamental aspect is the
design of the sole, which must be combined in the best
possible way according to the type of rubber used.
Which one of your technologies best suit snow-
board boots? We have a wide range of technologies
that adapt to snowboard boots soles, which use different
compounds. Softer compounds are used for greater sen-
sitivity or compounds normally designed for mountainee-
ring that emphasize the properties of wear resistance and
precision of support on the rocks. Between the different
proposals, the most used compound in the snowboard
world at the moment is Vibram IceTrek. This specific for-
mulation guarantees optimal comfort and grip even at low
temperatures. Other brands instead, use technologies
such as Vibram Arctic Grip. Nitro Snowboard has recently
launched its first snow boot with this all rubber techno-
logy, which is by far the most advanced in terms of grip
on ice, especially when wet. Some brands have instead
opted for solutions made of Vibram Ecostep compound,
a compound made of 30% recycled rubber that maintains
grip performance unchanged.
Which brands are you currently collaborating
with? Vibram has been collaborating for many years with
the most important brands in the snowboard world, such
as Burton, K2, Nitro, Deeluxe, Nidecker, Northwave and
ThirtyTwo. To best support our partners, we have develo-
ped exclusive projects together with them, creating custo-
mized designs based on the technical and aesthetic needs
of each one of them.
How does the creation process develop? How
do you go from the project to the realization?
Usually for the development of a new snowboard sole, the
inputs are different and can come from: athletes/final con-
sumers, brand partners and the Vibram R&D department.
In fact, many soles were born thanks to the collaboration
with our ambassadors, with whom we try to develop inno-
vative solutions and new technologies for the snow world.
The first phase of the creation process starts with the de-
finition of the brief, the target audience, the type of com-
pound to be used and the timing. Our designers begin
to develop handmade drafts and renders on a graphics
tablet, then moving on to the creation of the maquette
with a 3D printer. Finally, the mold is created, which will
allow the soles to be tested in the laboratory, live and in
the field, receiving feedback from the athletes.
On which bindings can we see Vibram logo right
now? Talking about bindings, we are particularly excited
about the collaboration with Nitro. Together with the
brand we have developed a rubber strap applied in the
toe area of the binding with the aim of increasing the grip
and adherence of the boot with the binding, improving
precision and sensitivity during activities.
Future plans in the world of snowboarding? Re-
search and innovation are keywords for Vibram, in fact we
have always studied and continuously developed possible
applications for rubber and technologies for the snowbo-
ard sector. In all these years it has also been essential to
have the possibility to interface directly with the partner
brands, together with them we continue to test new types
of soles and specific details for the snowboard world, whi-
ch we will create in the coming seasons.

 BOA’s new H4 platfrom.
BOA Technology Inc., creators of the revolutionary,
award-winning, patented BOA Fit System featured in products
across snow sports, cycling, hiking/trekking, golf, running,
court sports, workwear, medical bracing and prosthetics, has
launched its latest innovation in the snowboard category with
the advancement of the proven H-Series BOA Fit System and the
introduction of the H4 dial platform, a high performance,
precision-built fit system for the most demanding rider.
The H4 platform is available with BOA Coiler technology
to increase speed of entry and quickly take up slack in the
lace. Each micro-adjustable click of the dial provides a pre-
cise adjustment and the 4:1 gear ratio and cushioned grip
TEXT allows riders to effortlessly dial in their desired fit.
Denis Piccolo
The combination of the new H4 dial platform and BOA’s
first textile lace in snow-board, TX3, allows for a variety
of fit configurations and is engineered for maximum shell
adjustment and control.
TX3, is specifically designed and engineered for boot
44
shell closure, an alternative to BOA’s classic stainless-steel
lace. TX3 provides a softer, more flexible look, similar to
the characteristics of traditional boot lace. However, unlike
standard laces or speed-lace, BOA has designed TX3 to
be much smaller in diameter to work within the BOA Fit
System while still meeting the necessary strength require-
ments for snowboard boots.
Tested extensively in the field and in BOA’s Test Lab, the
development of the H4 and TX3 has pushed performance
and durability to the next level.
“The H4 dial platform is built to withstand major impact,
the harshest of elements, and maintain performance when
it matters” says Woody Woodard, Boa’s Global Snowbo-
ard Lead, Senior Account Manager. “We have over 9,000
hours of combined field and lab testing that shows that H4
and TX3 will stand up to the toughest conditions, and has
resulted in our most durable system yet.”
BOA brand partners, including Burton, K2, Ride, Vans,
DC, and more, will offer boots equipped with the new H4
dial platform and TX3 lace, BOA’s first high power snow-
board-specific textile lace, at retail for the 20/21 winter
season.
Burton - Ion BOA, men’s
The all mountain Ion boot raises the bar yet again with
Boa’s newest offering, the H4 platform. The H4 brings
a new level of durability for the most demanding rider

matter what the day brings. Updated with a TPU laye-
ring construction & an all new injected toe with a pro-
gressive surface design.
Deeluxe - ID Dual BOA
Through the years, riders across the globe have turned
to the ID as their go-to boot. Now featuring the BOA Fit
System, riders have even more reason to love this iconic
design. Packed with the the H4 Coiler, TX3 soft lace, and
Sequence lace pattern will let riders dial in their fit with ad-
ded precision, performance, and durability. The two BOA
dials allow for independent adjustment to the upper and
lower zones of the boot, maximizing performance.

Snowsurfer exudes a fun, playful, and surfy vibe.
K2 Estate, women’s
Blending luxury and technology, the K2 Estate is a mid-
flexing all-mountain boot with the unmatched fit powered
by the BOA Fit System. BOA Mobility Conda for maximum
heel hold, Intuition SpaceHeater liner for warmth and a

It is true that the level of the snowboard equipment has
risen considerably, but it is equally true that there are many
different aspects and details that make a product more or
less suitable for a type of riding, a type of snow, a type of

Shops 1st Try - Austria
If you believe that the snowboarding scene has lost its
charm and personality it’s because you have never been
to Shop 1st Try, a true dose of pure snowboarding, pas-
sion and desire to ride. And there is also time for testing
and for doing business. Probably the event that is a refe-
rence point for the European scene.
How was Shops 1st Try born? The first edition was
held 2010 in Zams/Landeck, Tirol, on a mountain called
Venet. The idea to create a snow demo for German spe-
aking retailers came from Clive Reply magazine and Remi
Forsans (former SIA, Snowboard Industry Federation).
There was an event happening in France with a similar
concept for French retailers called “Snow avant premie-
re” and Clive and Remi thought there was the need to
create a similar event in the Germanic countries. So they
approached me and my partner Florian Bauer and asked
if we wanted to create such an event. I traveled to La
Clusaz in 2009 to check it out and then we adapted the
concept to the needs of German, Austrian and Swiss
snowboard shops.
What are your thoughts about last edition? The 2020
edition was the biggest that we ever had but still small
enough to be a “Family Gathering”. We had a lot of le-
gends in the past years already, but mostly Industry Players
such as Serge Dupraz, Peter Bauer, Regis Rolland and so
on. In 2020 a lot of big names made their way to Shops 1st
Try to go riding with the retailers, among them where Gigi
Ruef, Jeremy Jones, Werni Stock, Nicolas Müller, Freddy
Kalbermatten, DCP and Wolle Nyvelt, just to name a few. In
addition a lot of retailers from Italy, the Netherlands, from
the UK and from Eastern European countries joined in.
How important it is a B2B event for the snow-
board industry? It is essential for the industry, it is a
chance to meet clients and shops in a relaxed atmosphe-
re and have the opportunity to show the latest develop-
ments where the sport takes place. Last but not least it is
great for both companies and shops having a good time
on snow together while doing business.
Do you think snowboarding has lost its cool ap-
peal over the years? I would say definitely no. Maybe
other winter sports gained a bit of coolness by copying
things from snowboarding but this does not mean snow-
boarding lost it. And snowboarding is in many ways still
very creative. With powder surfing for example snowbo-
arding has invented a very cool niche that can never be
copied from skiing.
Do you think that brands are pushing snowbo-
arding in the right direction? I personally think I presume that
that is good for the sport that brands are more and
more not only focusing on developing and marketing

related to this passion. No matter if it was friends I’ve
made, relationships I’ve built, places I’ve traveled to,
other sports I did and last but not least the money
I’m earning now for living comes from working in the
snowboarding business. I don’t want to sound too pa-
thetic and say that snowboarding is my life because
there are a lot of other important things in my life as
well, but it has a very big part of what I am today.
Any special project for the future? We are wor-
king on a digital B2B platform that supports snowbo-
ard retailers all over Europe in their buying process. If
everything runs according the schedule, we will “ignite
the first stage” just before Shops 1st Try in mid January.
This platform will be a useful tool for shops and brands
when, hopefully, travel and contact restrictions will end.

Back to the Roots - Italy
BTTR is certainly not a surprise, for some years it has
been the reference test of the Italian market. More and
more snowboard stores organize nowadays early season
trips to test new products, but going to the BTTR is more
than just a day of testing.
How was Back To The Roots born? I was in line to
get off the Val Senales cable car with Andrea Costa from
Ride/K2 and Fabrizio Giusto from Bataleon, we had all
the test products with us on that Sunday of an October of
several seasons ago. There we thought for the first time
about the idea of a test tour self-managed by various
brands, immediately after we proposed it to all the other
companies in Italy and we met for a tigelle-based lunch
in north Modena where we gave birth to the group we
are now.
How was the first edition? How many brands
were there? Ups and downs? The first edition went
well, as the others that followed: we had many changes,
im-provements and increased participation during the
years but we’ve always been satisfied, as we were alrea-
dy during that 2016 first edition with 14 brands, more or
less the same as today.
What are your thoughts about last edition? The
2019/2020 edition went very well, the only drawback was
having to cancel the Ovindoli date due to lack of snow.
Overall we were satisfied with the increasing turnout, the
great interest in the testing products and especially the
identification of BTTR as a moment of aggregation and
meeting.
What about this season? This season is quite spe-
cial, in a few days we should leave with the tour and we

Do you think snowboarding has lost its cool ap- snowboarding that

would say!
Which are the trends for the future of snowbo-
ard? Freeriding is certainly gaining more and more spa-
ce. It is a more all mountain sno-wboarding that does not
disdain anything, freer and less and less “stuck” to the
parks. The curve is back in fashion and with it a whole
series of boards and bin-dings that until a few seasons
ago would have been impossible to see on shop shelves
have appeared. Splitboarding is following a similar path
but it’s getting bigger and bigger.
How much this Covid pandemic has damaged
the industry and what will be the consequen-
ces? Brands and shops have been highly damaged with
many drops in turnover and investment. But in general
I see a greater desire to live outdoor, a generalized re-
discovery of the mountains. And above all a desire for
snowboarding as a sport practiced.
Any special project for this winter? Go snowboar-
ding as much as possible! The pandemic has also fueled
my desire for the mountains, cold air on my face and adre-
naline coming from linked curves. Then of course I would
like to successfully accomplish all the stages of the tour.
Rock On Snow Pro - France
As they say, Vive la France! We at Sequence always
love to visit the Rock On Snow Pro which is not limited
to being an exclusive event for the French market but
always manages to attract many dealers from the inter-
national scene. And the mountain where it is organized
always leaves us breathless.
How was Rock On Snow Pro born? Rock On Snow
Pro was born in winter 2002, at that time it was called
Snow Avant Première. Sportair was owned by a visionary
guy, Philippe Chenu, who was the first Burton French di-
stributor. He wanted to help retailers in their orders and
to build an event to bring them riding together, test a
range of Burton snowboards and then bring them back
into the showroom to take their orders. In early 2000’s
Burton Europe decided to move to a French general
agent so without brand to sell Sportair changed its job
into organizing events. That bring us back to 2002 when
the first edition of Rock On Snow Pro took place in La
Clusaz with the aim to gath-er retailers to test a wide ran-
ge of boards.
How was the first edition? How many brands
were there? Ups and downs? We built a village di-
rectly on the slope with manual control on the test so we
had some issues with the weather, electricity breakdown
and so on. Despite of those problems, the first edition
was really appreciated by both retailers and brands and
we had a lot of fun. We had around 30 brands.
What about last edition? Last edition has been
good, we had 45 brands and welcomed more than 800
re-tailers from 5 different countries. That’s for the bright
side, on the dark side we did have brands that decided
to not exhibit for several reasons. We also saw more and
more retailers struggling to open their stores for another
winter. And 9 months later, after Covid19 crisis, some of
them definitely closed their doors.
Do you think snowboarding has lost its cool ap-
peal over the years? I think snowboarding is still
cool because it promotes a spirit of friendship and fun
all over the mountain, from park to powder no matters
what your riding level is. This why we start riding in the
early 90’s and why kids are attracted to strap two feet
on a board. ITW TO

birth of a snowboard brand. We interviewed some of the
strongest pros of recent years who have been brave enough
to develop their idea of snowboarding in their own brand,
often going against any logic that the market imposes.
Amplid by Peter Bauer
In which moment of your life did you decide to
start your own snowboard brand? I had been wor-
king at Burton for 16 years and went through the full
transition from a team rider to being heavily involved
with R&D. It was actually one of the factory owners
who produced for Burton back then who triggered the
thinking process of starting my own brand. That was in
2004. And now here we are with Amplid!
What values did you want to convey through
your brand? My goal was to design and produce bo-
ards with character, not necessarily love-or-hate boards,
but definitely not everybody’s darling decks. And that
starts with a different design approach, and also with
taking different materials.
Why should a snowboarder buy an Amplid bo-
ard? Our brand claim is “Next level riding”. And we
really respect this as our main mission statement. We
want to provide riding sensation which gets you onto
your next level. Sounds a bit inflationary at first sight, or
like hot marketing air. But once you get on one of our
boards, you will understand.
How does a board design come to life in your
head? First of all I am obsessed with making things
better than they currently are. I love it playing with dif-
ferent materials which are lighter or more responsive,
more dampening, more sustainable. Sometimes I have
a geometry idea, so I get on my computer and see how
it would look in a 3D model. Then I need to let it rest for
a while. I have a look at it one or two days later, with a
certain critical distance, and then go on from that. Next
step is the prototype. Perhaps this prototype totally
sucks, perhaps it rips. But this is the try-and-error part
of an empirical development process. You always get
lessons, even if it throws you back.
What will be the trends of the snowboarding in-
dustry in the next few years? Splitboarding will con-
tinue to grow, as a natural consequence of overpopula-
tion. Look at surfing, People are ready to practice sports
in less comfy environments because being alone on the
wave is more important than surfing in shorts. The snow-
board equivalent is the search for untracked snow. Now
people are ready to invest five hours of hiking in order
to get to the virgin goods. Another positive develop-
ment is that the snowboard culture has now legalized
“carving” again. When you look back at snowboarding
10 years ago, everything was about riding rails in urban
environments. But today snowboarders look for a high
speed turn, either on the powder or on a groomer. My goal was to design

boards now. I did the maths and it seems like it will
be 35 years this season. So I thought I will do myself
a little present with a special board. Too early to let
out more details, but stay tuned!

 Jones by Jeremy Jones
In which moment of your life did you decide to
start your own snowboard brand? I never wanted
to start a snowboard brand. The decision to create Jones
actually came out of nowhere. I was half way into shoo-
ting Deeper and I was not satisfied with how my DIY spli-
tboard was working. Back then 80% of my snowboarding
was splitboarding but my sponsor of that time was not
interested in it and no other brands were excited about
it. So in about 2 months I went from thinking about star-
ting a brand to actually creating one.
What values did you want to convey through
your brand? We understand that a customer has a lot
of choices when choosing a board. We recognize that
a snowboard is the connection point for a rider with
the mountain. We view a snowboard as an extension
of our body and put the utmost care and dedication
when creating our products. We also understand that
52
creating snowboards takes resources. We continue to
develop more sustainable ways to make product as
well as make them as timeless and as long lasting as
possible.
Why should a snowboarder buy a Jones board?
We believe there is no short cuts to a great product. We
call it our “Ode to Progression.” Al things can be made
better either through design or material and stagnation is
not an option. This is why our R&D budget is far greater
than our marketing budget. We live by the test, tweak
repeat, process. By the time a Jones board makes into
our line it was often years in the making.
How does a board design come to life in your
head? I am on the mountains about 150 days a year and
with a wide variety of riders. I can’t help but talk about
equipment with them. It is something that I’ve always in
mind. So new concepts come to me very naturally and
usually on the skin track, the bootpack or on the chairlift.
I do not spend energy on market trends.
We set our compass in the mountains not by reading trend reports.
I think by being out there and connected to passionate snowboarders
you get a natural feeling of where the opportunities for evolution are.
My ethos and philosophy are all over everything Jones.

Will you continue to follow your philosophy or
will you adapt to market trends and business?
I do not spend energy on market trends. We set our
compass in the mountains not by reading trend reports.
I think by being out there and connected to passionate
snowboarders you get a natural feeling of where the op-
portunities for evolution are. My ethos and philosophy
are all over everything Jones. However, I really try to cre-
ate a culture that embraces inputs from everyone. When
we are testing new products or thinking about new con-
cepts, it is common for me to run them by team riders,
employees and local riders. Everyone that works at Jones
is really passionate about riding and some of the best
feedback I get comes from the people from the office.
What do you think about “competitive snowbo-
arding” vs freeriding and exploration? I support
all forms of snowboarding. I love that kids getting fired
up to hike a rail in the streets, old guys waking up early to
carve groomers on hard boots and every thing in-betwe-
en. Contests are an amazing platform to make a name for
yourself. It is also often the place where a lot of innova-
tion comes from, especially in freestyle. I would love to
see more regional “pro” contests come back.
What does snowboarding mean to you? Snow-
boarding is such an important part of my life. It is my
energy source. It is where I am both grounded and set
free to explore the outer reaches of my abilities, mind
and this planet. It is where life makes the most sense to
me. It is my greatest form of creativity.
Any special future project? I love the creative pro-
cess. From product to movies, and so on. I am working
on a lot of different things but they never really have a
definitive finish line. So stay tuned, lots more to come
from my side.

 Korua by Nicholas Wolken
In which moment of your life did you decide to
start your own snowboard brand? On a trip to Ja-
pan around 2013 we witnessed the local snow-surf mo-
vement and culture. That was a great inspiration for us.
We started to develop some ideas, a sort of European
version of that approach to snowboarding that could re-
present the same values. The following summer it really
became clear that we had something special in place.
Everyone was exited about the ideas we had and we
knew we needed to give it a try.
What values did you want to convey through
your brand? Our values come from a basic love for
snowboarding. That’s what gives us the energy to
create new boards, films and images and I hope that
passion and fun shines through in all of our projects.
We also want to make snowboarding more attainable
and we aim to create a sense of community in which
anyone is welcome. That’s why we portray relatable
snowboarding and build snowboards that are easy to
ride for all bodies, at a fair price. We care about our
winters and realize that our home planet is in danger
that’s why we offer timeless product designs with a lon-
glasting lifecycle.
54
How does a board design come to life in your
head? It usually happens quite randomly and uninten-
tional. Sometimes it’s a realization you have when riding
in certain snow conditions. Sometimes I draw inspiration
from things outside of our snowboard bubble. What’s
always common is the desire to improve our product line
and the fun we have playing with new ideas. I usually
start by sketching something on paper and then refine
my drawing and create mock-up models with scissors
and cutters to the point where I feel comfortable sen-
ding it out to the team for feedback and inputs. Then
we make digital drawings and some further adjustments.
Next step is producing prototypes which we then test
and tweak to the point we are really happy about it.
What do you think about “competitive snowbo-
arding” vs freeriding and exploration?
I think competition and competitiveness is a legit and im-
portant part of snowboarding because it is pushing the
progression in a big way, but it may not be of interest to
absolutely everyone who snowboards. For me, as tricks
have evolved to a point were I can’t relate, or even imagi-
ne myself pulling them off, it just doesn’t make me stoked
to go out and ride my snowboard. I personally feel like
most of us are in a stage of our lives where we probably
don’t feel a strong need to prove ourselves anymore and

generally have more fun in a less competitive environ-
ment, like simply snowboarding with friends. I also often
feel these competition formats have compromised, the
“free” part of it all. When you’re are being pressured into
doing what the judges want to see, and/or are being jud-
ged by others, it just doesn’t sound very free to me. In a
way snowboarding has become very exclusive, whereas it
used to welcome everyone, especially the outcast.
What does snowboarding mean to you? I think I
can say that it is a huge part of my personal and professio-
nal life and identity. It comes in many forms but ultimately
it’s just sliding down a snowy hill with a board strapped
under your feet. What I like most about it is that feeling
when you are not thinking and things just seem to happen
perfectly and effortlessly, sort of like dancing in ecstasy.
Your all-time favourite snowboard? I have a blue
metallic swallowtail board with literally no flex and no ed-
ges made in the 80s. It’s the first snowboard I had ever
seen at 8 years old and it was standing in the workshop
on the mountain where my dad worked at the time. It was
like an out-of-this-world thing and the shape looked so
fast and the colours just drew me in, so he took me out
to have a go on it after work and that got me hooked.
Some 25 years later he tracked it down and gave it to
me for my birthday, so it holds a lot of memories and
meaning for me.

is the original tagline of the Slash platform. So it is about
quality experience and expression in the act of snowbo-
arding.
Why should a snowboarder buy a Slash board?
Being the owner and operator I can guarantee Slash doe-
sn’t stand still. I’m always striving forward, passing all my
technical knowledge through into my boards, onto my
retailers and trying to make this lifestyle as enjoyable as
possible for everyone.
How does a board design come to life in your
head? My thing are the shapes and technical aspects
of the manufacturing processes. I have ideas based on a
notion of symbiosis to push the envelope of what’s possi-
ble. Everything thereafter that has to do with colour and
marketing is Slash’s investment in the lifestyle of snow-
boarding deriving from artists, friends and extended to
board dealers.
What will be the trends of the snowboarding in-
dustry in the next few years? It all depends on the
experiences you enjoy with friends, on what makes snow-
boarding exciting for you and what makes your riding sty-
le buzz. Nowadays I’m seeing less graphic styles and a
56
more generic look, which is too bad for the artists who
have made a living making snowboards look amazing.
Will you continue to follow your philosophy or
will you adapt to market trends and business?
Next season I’ll be dropping my 10th season’s collection.
I don’t think I’ve done too bad, because the biggest
achievement for me has been introducing Directional
Freestyle Shapes as alternative to twin shapes. I’m an
avid backcountry freestyler.
What do you think about “competitive snow-
boarding” vs freeriding and exploration? Snow-
boarding is what you make of it. If you got talent, show
it. If you are in it for a good time, get loud. If you want
adventure, be prepared.
Your all-time favourite snowboard? Is from my
2014 “Step out” Collection or my first Burton UnInc Mo-
del with the dead businessman.
Any special future project? These uncertain times
should bring out the best in us, so get prepared for the
10th anniversary collection of Slash. Also for the upco-
ming year, the Piratecrew will release our new Movie
“Driven” and otherwise I will make my family and hob-
bies my priority – it’s all about having fun.
Being the owner and operator I can guarantee
Slash doesn’t stand still. I’m always striving forward,
passing all my technical knowledge through into my boards,
onto my retailers and trying to make this lifestyle
as enjoyable as possible for everyone.

Minoia has a glorious history behind it,
can you tell me how it all started? The
idea of a skate shop came to me after a trip to
the US in the mid-80s. I was amazed by Pacific
Drive in San Diego and spent the whole day sit-
ting in front of its door looking that world spin-
ning in just 100 square meters. My father had
a small sporting goods shop at the time, a few
years later with my brother’s arrival, the transfor-
mation began. We had one of the first real skate
shops in Italy. Leaving school to follow a dream
was a gamble for the times but we strongly be-
lieved in the project and time proved us right.
After five years we also opened our first distribu-
tion which has now become an important part of
our business. Then came snowboarding, a new
1400m2 headquarters, surfing, wakeboarding
and kitesurfing. An evolution that has followed
our way of being riders without forgetting where
we came from.

How to
choose your Board.
Length.
Place the board you've chosen in front of your face; if it is
between your nose and your chin, it is perfect, however
at least three other characteristics must be considered:
weight, riding style and type of board. As a general rule,
the longer the board is, the more stability and grip will
be achieved at high speeds thanks to the larger contact
surface of its edges. The plus of having a short board lies
instead in the greater handling at low speeds and in the
rotations, to the detriment of the stability while riding. But
what length for which terrain?
Generally, for an all-mountain board, standard sizes are
OK: neither too long nor too short. This way you will have
a good compromise between handling and stability. The
style of riding greatly affects the length of the board. Jib-
bing and freestyle require an important level of handling;
for this, boards of inferior dimensions are privileged.
For carving is the other way round. If you are fond of high
speeds, carving or just want to overtake skiers, then the
choice will be oriented towards larger dimensions. As for
boards for powder, it gets more complicated. The length
can vary considerably from model to model, and the choi-
ce must be evaluated based on the manufacturer's indi-
cations.
The shapes.
One of the most important features regarding the shape is
the directionality. Directional boards typically have longer
nose than tail, so they are specially designed to have ma-
ximum performance in one direction. Fresh snow boards
follow this rule, which allows the tail to sink naturally be-
low the snow level. Some models have the so-called swal-
lowtail, which further facilitates the riding, while a nose
with a greater surface is a great help on powder days.
True twin boards are exactly symmetrical. The nose and
tail of the same length allow to have an identical handling
during switch riding. This makes them perfect for park fe-
atures and you can take on jumps and riding in fake with
no worries. These boards can be used without problems
for freestyle and rails, which makes the directional twin the
most widespread shape on the market.
In recent years, asymmetrical boards have also been re-
launched, which can be either directional or true twin. The
longitudinal asymmetry is found in the length of the edges.
The heels' edge is in fact longer than the toes' one so to
facilitate carving which, for mechanical reasons of the hu-
man body, is more difficult on the frontside turn. This shape
is unbeatable if the privileged style is carving.
The camber.
The great confusion about camber was brought by Lib
Tech, which in 2007 introduced the Reverse Camber with
the Skatebanana series. Today, the brands produce all
types of camber, specifically designed to suit every riding
style. The most common shape is certainly the traditional
camber: the central part is raised, leaving the two external
parts of the boards just beyond the bindings as points of
contact on the snow. This profile allows extreme stability in
the turns, and makes it ideal for carving. Another advanta-
ge of this camber is the pop but what you will not get from
this type of board is definitely the forgiveness.
In the rocker camber the point of contact is in the middle
of the bindings, while nose and tail stay up. This allows
extreme maneuverability at low speeds and makes it one
of the favorite shapes of jibbers. The limits are felt instead
at high speeds, as hard carving will be basically impossible,
and the board will not have the necessary grip to keep the
edge glued to the snow. Excellent floatation on the other
hand thanks to its raised nose.
The flat camber is the middle way. Often chosen by those
who want a versatile all mountain in every situation, and
often chosen in the first board to understand which way to
go in the following seasons. Thanks to the 2020 materials,
good control of edge, good handling, good pop, good
float in fresh snow.
Finally there are hybrid cambers: these are combinations
of the shapes described above. The range of possibilities
becomes practically endless and it is therefore always bet-
ter to deal with your trusted shop. The perfect board for
every situation does not exist, but you can choose the right
one based on the style of riding and what you like to do.
 Shape

Flex.
The rigidity of the board is one of the most important
characteristics to consider. Generally more rigid flexes are
chosen by those who love high speeds and don't want to Flex
give up cornering and carving stability, or like riding in
powder. With a softer flex you will have more playfulness,
which makes running low-speed flat tricks much easier. If
what interests you is the park and the freestyle and prefer
medium-sized featuers, rails and kickers, it will probably be
better for you a softer board. If, on the other hand, we
are talking about XL-sized kickers, then the situation chan-
ges: a more rigid board will allow greater precision in the
Height

output. But not all flexes are the same. The most common
is the twin flex. It means that both the nose and the tail
have the same level of rigidity. If the switch is something
always present in your riding style, this is probably the type
of flex that's right for you.
Width
In the directional flex, however, the nose will have less rigi-
dity than the tail. This technology allows for greater flota-
tion in fresh snow thanks to the bending of the front part of
the board, while the stiffer tail guarantees a more powerful
pop. There is one last type of flex which is torsional flex. It
is basic what you can feel in the midst of the bindings by
raising the tip of our boot. A board with greater torsional
flex will be faster in edge-to-edge change during a turn
and the response will be much more direct and precise. A
softer flex will make you fall and crash less, but at the cost
of a board with less accuracy.
Camber

Width.
The standard width of the boards does not exceed 25 cen-
timeters at the central point. If your boot number exceeds
US11 you will probably have to consider buying a wide
board. As a general rule, if you look at the board from the
top, once you have positioned and centered the boot cor-
rectly, the toe and heel should not exceed the edges of the
board. The cons is, during a turn with a high inclination,
that your face is projected directly into the snow.

But the board width also influences the riding. The gre-
ater distance between the edges means that the change
of edge while turning is slower. The advantage is that the
larger surface will float better in fresh snow.

Crosscut Camber
Putting an Arbor under your feet is always a good experience: it is
because these Californian guys always manage to put in their boards
that indefinable but special something that leaves good feelings
afterwards.
It has already happened in the past with the freestyle Draft, then with
the all mountain Shilo and now is happening again with this Crosscut.
From the moment you hold it in your hands, it begins to give positive
vibes: either because the manufacture of these Arbor is really excel- Setback

you tighten the bindings and face the first corners, the good vibes
continue and the board definitely convinces you. Designed for an all
mountain use with strong freeride drifts, with a directional shape, a
light taper and setback, this Crosscut lets itself be led naturally, wi-
thout too much effort, but thanks to the four contact points, two of
which are at the height of the bindings and the other two on the nose
and tail, the entry and exit from the curves is extremely precise and
despite the shape is rather generous, the change of edge is fast and
not difficult at all. It can face high speeds on groomers thanks to the
nice wide sidecut, it lets itself be led in wide and harmonious curves
without any difficulties. The Camber System is calibrated in a balanced
way, making the board reactive without excess. In short, the Crosscut
is a beautiful all mountain freeride board, with flawless aesthetics and Waist

Goliath
Goliath embodies the very spirit of Bataleon and has been in their
catalog since the first seasons. An all mountain freestyle based on 3BT,
once you understand it you will never leave it.
As we have already repeated many times over the years when a Bata-
leon came into our hands, understanding 3BT is not absolutely diffi-
cult, but it is necessary to reset all the concepts related to riding lear-
ned on boards with a classic profile. Ironically, we have seen beginners
immediately feel comfortable with a 3BT and long-time riders struggle Setback
to adapt. Having overcome this necessary preamble, let's move on 0 cm
to the analysis of the veteran of the Dutch company: the Goliath is
a beautiful all mountain freestyle, suitable for slopes, powder and
park transitions. The 3BT freestyle with medium uplift on nose and tail
starting from the end of the binding can be unsettling at first, when
throwing yourself on the edge will not automatically find the contact
points and you will feel like sliding: but simply by learning to perform
this movement in a more progressive way and with a little patience,
you will understand how much the 3BT actually works. By mimicking
the shape of the bottom of a boat or a surf, this shape allows you to
enter turns more naturally, resulting in smoother curves and ultimately
gaining control. The Goliath has a medium camber that is felt just
enough, especially when needed, and working together with the 3BT
and with the Supertubes carbon inserts, it results in a lively but per- Waist
fectly balanced riding experience. 25,2 cm
WE LIKE All mountain freestyle top, it makes the most of the
combined work of classic camber and 3BT.

Marauder
Inspired by nature. Designed to provide fluidity. Take it for a ride off
piste you won't regret it.
Constantly looking for powder, a fish that can be manoeuvred with
a load-bearing spatula with a large surface and a short, lively and
characterful tail. The Marauder is well balanced and adapts well to
different terrains. The bold and elegant design is particularly suited
for medium curves. The nose makes its way into every corner with
power and then, with a swipe of the tail, pushes you out. The “Blizzard Setback
Camber" combines a long rocker section in the nose, with a set-back 3 cm
camber between the feet to offer float and strength hard to find in
a 154cm board. But if aesthetics are its first business card and half
of the pleasure is received with the eyes, it’s the technical features
which amazed us: what it lacks in length makes it up for in volume.
The Marauder is made of poplar and paulownia wood, reinforced with
bamboo crosspieces and is held together by ultra-resistant "Green-
poxy" ecological resin. Good features for both your performance and
Mother Nature. It also does well on hard morning slopes and does not
even get embarrassed in the park. Maybe it's not the "fish out of wa-
ter" it seemed, after all. Take it for a spin off the piste and you won't
regret it: backcountry, scary vertical lines, steep couloirs, everything…
A snow shark.

Custom
The Custom has been one of the most celebrated all mountain boards
in snowboarding history and its saga continues, improving year after
year and remaining at the top of the wish list of pros and mere mortals.
It was 1996 when the Custom timidly made its debut in the Burton
lineup. Since then, no other board has gained the same status, actual-
ly climbing the rankings to become a real symbol for the Burlington
company and for snowboarding in general. Now, what could we add
to what has already been said so far? We could say that few boards Setback
like the Custom work really well on all terrains. The Camber version we
-12,5 mm
tested is perfect for aggressive track cruising thanks to its medium flex
that keeps the board stable and in edge even at high speeds without
ever being too arrogant or reactive; it performs excellently on transi-
tions, where the directional shape does not create any problems even
in fast easy landings and the camber pumps in a balanced way on ta-
keoffs and excellently cushions landings, thanks also to the generous
surface. In powder it is agile, fast, stable and floats like a dedicated di-
rectional board. It is not a model that boasts space age technologies,
yet no other brand has managed to replicate such a perfect balance
of all features, which makes the Custom a Do It All board with capital
letters. The icing on the cake, the Custom is also quite easy to un-
derstand and therefore suitable for a non-evolved audience, although
absolute beginners would be better off with the softer Flying V ver- Waist
sion. On the opposite side, advanced riders will enjoy this model a lot. 24,5 cm

 Resort - Alta Badia - Movimënt Parks - Italy
Located right in the heart of the massive Dolomi-
tes, Snowpark Alta Badia and its amazing pano-
rama are definitely worth being paid a visit. Here
you can find majestic peaks and various valleys
that should be listed on your freeride map and
that attract many visitors every year. But Alta Badia
doesn’t mean only relaxed sunny rides in the Dolo-
mites, it also guarantees progression and variation
for all levels.
Five areas, six lines and a total of 37 obstacles gua-
rantee that everyone will find something to shred.
The snake run right at the entrance offers a fast and
funny entry to the park in a banked slalom style. All
those who rather enjoy some tubes and rails will
love the top section and its sweet jib setup.
The easy line with beginner-friendly kickers and
chilled Butter Boxes allows all rookies to work on
their first tricks. Whoever has already passed this
point can go crazy on the medium jib line. Rails and
more challenging boxes make sure that skills get
pushed and new tricks are on the schedule.
Located right next to the Jib Line, you find the me-
dium kicker line with jumps in three different sizes
and a Funbox at the end of this line.
While variety and creative lines can be found on
the new advanced line.
Specials in Alta Badia for the 2020/21 season is the
Funslope Biok.

It looks like a park board, but guess what? It retains many of the
geometric theories that have made the Spring Break legendary in the

Nope, your eyes don't lie: the Capita Spring Break Powder Twin is a
real deck for park riding. Featuring a super-wide chassis, tight turn
radius and Surf Rocker camber profile, all combined in a perfect shape
for your powder stunts. The Surf Rocker Twin Profile features a con-
tinuous arching tip and tail inspired by the modern design of many Setback
of today’s best surfboards. The gentle low angle allows for maximum 1 cm
float and control. The Dual Blaster Ashpop Core features internal po-
plar strips fused with a more dense and powerful ash wood through
the insert area and along the rails. It gives you a stable and predictable
feeling underfoot, with all the pop and reliability you could ask for.
Coming from solidified volcanic lava, basalt is an abundant resource
known for its thermal properties, strength and durability, this natural
material will pump your performance. The Holysheet fiberglass con-
figuration features fiber weaves that provide tensile strength so you
can have a stronger and more responsive board without adding extra
weight while providing maximum strength and durability. The Magic

With a little bit of adaptability, it offers great satisfaction on any

It is difficult to find in a single board all the features and innovations
that the Revolve encloses: asymmetrical backside edge, new power

nose and tail, sintered Isosport 7500 top speed base, carbon-bam-

of years of tests and research in collaboration with the best national
coaches and instructors. This board is quite versatile: with a little bit
of adaptability you can take it to the park, use it on groomers and to
enjoy it in the powder. With a freestyle set-up it is very stable in lan-
dings, while the asymmetrical backside, with a slightly longer edge,
allows for a smooth edge change. The bamboo core and the carbon
structure with triaxial glass fiber guarantee lightweight and speed.
The introduction of new types of wood, carbon and anti-vibration
mounts ensure a unique flex and a perfect balance between flexibility
and reactivity. The return of the asymmetrical backside midsole is the
key point of the new Revolver: perfect control on all landings and
heel support in every situation.

EMB
The right board for all those riders who want to explore every corner
of the mountain and get noticed. Because style is the only thing that
matters.
Why choose? With the DC EMB you can have both power and control
in a single board, thanks to the Lock & Load camber profile and the
new Reactive Core. Are you always in search of the perfect powder
line? If you are looking for a reactive board with lots of stability both
on piste and in the park, then the DC EMB is perfect for you. You can
bet on the confidence of a precise and reliable riding, as much as on
switch riding control. The shape of the nose and tail is symmetrical
and as the board features setback the nose looks a little longer than
the tail. The DC's skate-inspired Lock & Load Camber profile offers
a stable riding, but it's also playful and forgiving, more than just a
standard camber profile. It features a traditional camber between the
bindings and a flat camber towards nose and tail. The dynamic and
light flex underfoot makes this board peppy, allowing you to keep
control all the time. In addition to a great edge hold, the 156 performs
well in the park and freestyle. The Reactive Core is made from a light
poplar that is spread over the entire length and combines flexibility
underfoot with shock absorption. The beechwood along the edges
means quality and long life. The Sintered Supreme Base is fast but
requires careful maintenance. Waist

Death Label - Boneless

PJ Gustafsson is a tough guy and the board he designed could only
reflect his punk spirit totally dedicated to uncompromising skate style.
PJ loves to find lines where others see nothing, unlikely transitions and
above all he likes to do all this at high speed and without compromise.
However, his pro-model Boneless does not require an aviation license
as one might think. On the contrary, the Boneless is a particularly fun
and rather docile board, based on the Death Wing hybrid camber that
features a central rocker and two small cambers under the bindings, Setback
which makes it soft for press and butter on the track but at the same 0
time agile and precise when riding, equipped with a firm snap to ollie
and load tricks on transitions. High quality sintered base and a classic
twin tip shape ideal for jibbing, it a narrow and agile board with a
medium sidecut that make it really intuitive and suitable for even non-
expert riders. The medium flex, not overly soft, makes it pleasant even
on track, where it demonstrates excellent cornering qualities and an
optimal edge grip. Like all Death Label models, the Boneless is made
in Japan and features an MC2 core in local red pine, reinforced at the
tip and tail by W-Basalt Fibers, the board features a soft center and
beautiful reactive tips. Recommended for those who want a park and
jib board but which can perform both on medium transitions or on the
track, even at high speeds.

Battle Rusty
Peppino Stewart, Drake rider and founder of the Rusty Toothbrush
crew wanted to pay homage to the "Toothbrushes" by offering an
interesting hybrid board that reflects the crew's DNA.
When it was presented at ISPO 2020 we were quite incredulous: we
had never heard of a board that would put the backcountry and street
worlds in agreement. But Alex “Peppino” Stewart has a fair amount
of experience on both terrains and so he achieved it. At a quick first
glance this Battle looks in all respects a classic freeride/all mountain
directional with a decisive setback. Once under your feet, you can
Setback
sense the intimate nature of the board: powder and groomers. The 10 cm
center of the board is wide and can be maneuvered well even on
beaten snow. Drake and the good ol’ Alex have thought to combine
this generous shape with a camber with rocker tips and a medium flex,
so as to make the experience on groomers and in the park definitely
fun. While remaining a shape born to float, the permissiveness given
by the camber and the medium flex make it quite playful even on tran-
sitions, where it is stable and much more agile than you might expect.
In conclusion it's a nice one-board-quiver if you have an all mountain/
freeride DNA but also like to tackle the park for a few runs, especially
on transitions. Suitable for a more freestyle use to medium-tall riders
and with fairly long feet, small physique people would struggle to ma-
neuver it easily due to the generous width but could always enjoy it in Waist
the backcountry where it is universally very fun.

Radical
Versatile and aggressive, the Radical goes from XL park lines to
powder without problems.
There are those who prefer the park and there are those who love to
go fast on groomers. Then there are those who want everything, in
two words: this Funky. The name of this board, top seller of the past
seasons and favorite model of the Funky team, describes its vocation
quite comprehensively: Radical. An agile, aggressive, fast and precise
all mountain board, it is perfect both for groomers days in ringing Setback
curves and for facing generous dimensions jumps. Thanks to the RCR 0
camber with rocker tips, it finds its comfort zone even in powder whe-
re it offers excellent buoyancy. Wherever you are, get ready to expe-
rience an adrenaline-pumping experience. Top performance, easy to
control, it ensures directional stability and makes driving child's play.
The fun mood will always be set to on, regardless of external condi-
tions. The shape is well balanced and the total weight is contained
for the type of board. It gives emotions, curve after curve. It is a de-
cidedly technical vehicle, so it is not made for everyone, but at the
feet of advanced riders it unleashes all its potential. The perfect travel
companion, inseparable anywhere you are. Light riders or riders with
untrained legs may struggle to savor its pop and responsiveness, but
those who love power riding will surely appreciate the response that
the Thunder Carbon Stripes can guarantee. Ready, steady, go! Waist

Money
The Money is perhaps one of the most intuitive and fun boards in the
Gnu lineup. Soft but also performing, the Money is a real park board
with something more.
We already know from experience that no matter how playful and
predictable its creations may be, Mervin has always wanted to make
its boards as all mountain as possible, and by all mountain we mean
usable on multiple terrains: that’s what the Money is made for. From
the first turns you can sense the freestyle soul of this twin with square Setback
nose and tail, with a pleasant medium flex but which retains a nice 0
snap for power ollie and load tricks on transitions. The proprietary C2e
camber, which sees rocker in the middle and elliptical camber up to
the nose and tail, makes this board great for butter on groomers, but
thanks to the Magne Traction the edge grip is precise and worthy of
much stiffer boards than the Money. The C2e camber is so well balan-
ced that even an unexperienced rider will be at ease with it, and than-
ks to the raised anti-blade tips dirty landings will not be a problem. On
the other hand, there is no feeling of lack of support, which makes the
Money more docile than a flat camber, but still responsive as if it were
a camber. The jib lines are probably its natural terrain, but even on not
particularly large transitions it defends itself well and indeed turns out
to be really fun, unleashing a grit and a pop that you wouldn't normal-
ly think. Basically, the Money is a beautiful park board, but thanks to Waist
the effective Mervin technologies it can accompany you around the 25,3 cm
slopes and in some occasional powder outings, if not too demanding.
WE LIKE Super nice park board with very effective edge hold, soft
flex and lively pop: an excellent freestyle compromise.

Stratos
Stratos is Jones' answer to that new generation of multipurpose
directional boards with which to carve and launch on transitions.
And it is a convincing answer. Before even put a Jones under your
feet, you already know that you will not be disappointed about the
riding part, because all Jones boards, from the most permissive to the
most demanding ones, rely on shape and flex wisely calibrated to turn
and go fast. If you love old school directional shapes, you can't help
but love this Stratos, with pointed nose and moon tail. The graphics Setback
are minimal but elegant, in pure Jones style. It is a pleasure under the 2,0
feet, especially on the track: the shape is agile and the edge change
is fast and precise, entering and exiting curves in a progressive way
and in general it is not at all rude. Even in the park it has its say, with
a nice reactive pop and a dynamism that make it an excellent tool
for transitions. A small note, which is not meant to be a criticism but
a clarification: when Jones tells you about a board that is "playful",
always consider that it is Jeremy's own point of view. This means it is
not universally considered a playful board, but it is definitely playful by
the Jones standard. This does not mean that it is a difficult board, far
from it, but the Stratos is still a technical board, albeit quite intuitive.
In essence, we are facing (indeed above) yet another successful tool
in Jones's line, who wanted to create a board for track riders with the
vice of transition and succeeded excellently, while maintaining a 100% Waist
Jones DNA. 25,6 cm
WE LIKE Fast, precise, not demanding but still technical, excellent for
slopes and medium-large transitions.

Performance and ease of use perfectly mixed together in this freeride

Designed by the K2 team with the specific intention of creating a di-

offering the complete package of features just mentioned, but adding
surprising ease of use to this type of board. Agile, nervous but with

Imagine powder beyond all boundaries: on powder this board finds its
true comfort zone and is extremely reactive, agile and not at all rude,
suitable not only for steep and speed but also for drops. A special
mention should be made to its extraordinary aesthetics: an attractive
look is sometimes important and riders know it well: the minimal desi-
gn and the skilful fusion of colors make the Alchemist one of the most
elegant and definitely cool board. That said, with a pleasant and very
high riding experience your passion is brought to the highest level of
enjoyment. If you are looking for a directional backcountry board, in
the smallest sizes, you have found it. Seeing is believing.

Korua Otto Plus

Otto reconfirms itself as one of the most fun all mountain boards on the
market, mixing performance on track and on transitions.
There are those who follow tracks and those who open new tracks.
Born for Carvers with a freestyle DNA, Otto is perhaps the Korua bo-
ard that comes closest to the definition of Freestyle Carving Board. It
excels in turning, just like all the other models in the Korua quiver. At
the same time, it lets itself be carried on sensational transitions, giving
surprising performances. On the track it is fast in edge changes, extre- Setback
mely stable and precise, lightweight and agile, features that allow it to 1 cm
live up to the most demanding expectations. When in the park it gua-
rantees fun, especially on transitions and, despite the 2 cm setback
and directional shape, it is easy to maneuver, even in fakie landings.
In the backcountry, especially on lines that are not too demanding,
it is really fun, agile and floats without any effort, thanks to the float
camber that provides an early rise on the nose, longer than the tail.
Obviously the flex remains the one of a board born for curves, so it is
a bit stiff if your yardstick is based on the classic freestyle boards, but
in our opinion it is an excellent compromise for those who spend a lot
of time turning and does not mind some laps in the park.
WE LIKE Agile, fun, stable and also excellent for a little park riding.
Great performances even in backcountry.

Orca
Once upon a time Travis Rice wanted a board easy to use on days
when he woke up without knowing if he wanted to jump into powder or
face a couple of turns on groomers…
Then came the Orca. Of course we're kidding, but Travis's intention
together with the Mervin crew may not have been so far from our
fictional version. In fact, the Orca is an all mountain board with a free-
ride soul, otherwise TRice would never have put his signature on it. Its
original directional shape is very pleasing to the eye, as are the graphi- Setback
cs that recall the homonymous marine mammal. As far as performance 0
is concerned, the C2X camber with its minimal rocker in the center
which extends to the tips with two positive camber zones, keeps the
board not too stiff but still stable even at high speeds. Handling is
guaranteed by the Magne Traction, which ensures effective edge
hold in all types of snow, even in areas with mixed soft/ice terrain. It
should be emphasized that despite the rather generous shape, with
an abundant center, on the beaten track it is agile and the speed of
edge change is absolutely not affected. Once brought to soft terrains,
however, it really unleashes its full potential, revealing a truly unique
agility, ease of maneuver and buoyancy: this board is an excellent can-
didate to become a one board quiver for riders who love to turn fast
on groomers when there’s no new snow, but as soon it increases, they
can’t wait to throw themselves off the piste and trace every corner of Waist
the backcountry. 26,7 cm
WE LIKE A high level all mountain freeride board, but not prohibitive
or difficult. On groomers it feels great, but it is in powder that it makes
the difference.

Proto Synthesis redefines the concept of possible, offering high-level
performance combined with control and stability, even in technical

of maneuver. At first glance it might seem like a simply intuitive board,
but as you put it under the pressure you realize that there is much
more underneath. It offers a responsive riding feel, giving the rider
control in multiple situations. On the transitions it is soft, stable and
precise, but at the same time it can forgive small errors in handling
and landing. The handling, thanks to the Vario Power Grip Sidecut,
is precise and the edge grip is effective on all terrains. Like all Never
Summer boards, it's a massive and not exactly lightweight board, but
the craftsmanship is very high standard and it's really a pleasure to
ride it. Never Summer boards are known as unbreakable and include
a 3 year warranty. Mountains are calling.

Sensor Plus
Last year we tested the standard version for the first time and it really
surprised us with the level of confidence it could give to riders of all
levels, together with the amazing performance.
And this new Sensor + only confirms our impressions of last season,
indeed with some points of further improvement. It is truly amazing
how this board inspires so much confidence and is so intuitive that
it seems you had it under your feet forever. Sometimes it happens
that such intuitive boards do not give special performances once the Setback
enthusiasm of the first rides is overcome: this is not true for the Sen- NA
sor. Defined as a multipurpose freestyle board, it is a real all-round
board with which to tackle kickers, jibs, slopes and even some curves
in powder. The pop is strong and not at all arrogant, the shape is
well calibrated with an outline that gives excellent maneuverability
and a fast edge change. The positive Camber makes it responsive
and snappy both on transitions and on track. Ultimately, the Sensor is
a pedigreed freestyle board, great if you want a "do it all" board that
does well on all terrains, especially the beaten ones. Its kingdom is
the park but on the track it guarantees exceptional edge hold and the
cornering experience is truly exhilarating. If its younger sister Sensor,
which we tested last year, was already much more than a butter board
with freestyle ambitions, this Plus version is nasty and is excellent for
even large structures and curves on the mach 3 track. Waist
WE LIKE Intuitive but not at all obvious, fun and permissive enough 25,4 cm
to face all the structures of the park and track.

Team
For over 10 years synonymous with all mountain performance, the
Team is reconfirmed as one of the favorite boards of the Nitro Team
and many more riders.
The Team needs no introduction: it speaks for itself. Ten years of de-
velopment, implementation of techs and tests have made the Team
a legend and one of the best performing all mountain board on the
market. Ultra appreciated by the entire Nitro Team for its multifaceted
nature, the Team in the camber version we tested is precise, fast in Setback
edge changes and absolutely stable, both in conduction and in take- -15
offs and landings. With the Team you can have a terrific day wherever
you are, on any terrain. Be inspired by the mountains, you will not
regret it. Suitable for those who want a unique board that tackles any
terrains, it is quite challenging for beginners. It is recommended for
riders who already feel confident enough and who will appreciate the
mix of agility and reactivity, which is always balanced. In fact, this bo-
ard doesn’t have any wrong features: despite being a fairly technical
board, you will never have the feeling of having to force your legs to
get a certain type of riding. Every aspect is well balanced in this board
to guarantee performance on all terrains, especially the beaten ones.
Bold at the right point, determined with style.
WE LIKE Precise, stable and fast, perfect for both curves and jumps.

Twin Pig
The Pig series has given birth to a new genre of boards and although
many other brands have successfully ventured into the segment in
recent seasons, the Pig still remains the absolute best.
Fun Board? If we’re talking about other boards with a “modified”
volume this definition may work because they’re models with a vast
spectrum of use who know how to entertain without, in fact, excel-
ling in anything. But this definition does not apply to the Pig series,
which in its many changes has always maintained incredible levels of Setback
performance. Since the first test we did years ago with the progenitor 0
Warpig, the testers have always been amazed at how such a short and
stubby board would ride so well. This year we chose to try the free-
style variant of the Pigs family and our opinion has not change. Here
we are not talking about a fun board, but a freestyle one capable of
tackling groomers, park and even a bit of backcountry always with its
head held high. Confidence, pop, but above all surprising agility for a
board that is all in all quite wide in the center. The Pig is an excellent
all mountain freestyle that can make you have fun on side hits as well
as on generously sized jumps, always keeping that freshness that will
only make you fall in love with it. Negative aspects? Not easy to find
them: let's say that if you are a purist of narrow boards with a thin
waist, you might find the Pig slightly slow in edge change, but there’s
no much more that that. In the end, it is a great board that can be your Waist
quiver if your snow day includes a little bit of everything. 31,4 cm
WE LIKE Fun, performing, agile, multipurpose: the Twinpig is a one-
board quiver for all mountain freestyle riders who are not looking for
extreme performances or who don’t compete in the slope style of
the X-Games.

National
What hasn't already been said about the National? If we were to
define all mountain with the name of a board, surely the National
would be a top choice.
Sometimes people defined as all mountain rather anonymous boards
that are stiff enough to hold the edge smoothly and not too nervous
to maintain a docile behaviour, ideal for those who spend a good part
of their time on groomers. In truth, however, a true all mountain is a re-
ally difficult board to make because it has to perform convincingly on Setback
all terrains, i.e. powder, groomers and park. The National is a hell of all NA
mountain, because, as witnessed by the many pros who have adopted
it over the years, it is wide enough to float, nervous enough to pump
up transitions, stiff enough to hold the edge at high speed. And in all
this, it is not even too demanding for less experienced riders, who will
indeed find it quite welcoming and stable: however, it is far from being
definable as a beginner's board. The fusion camber with rocker tips
gives a hand to the less experienced ones in case of not exactly clean
handling and landings, but at the same time helps to keep nose and
tail out of the snow in case of powder. In conclusion, we are in front
of a beautiful and solid all mountain model, excellent as a one board
quiver for riders with medium-high skills, but which can accompany
even the less experienced in their progression. Bjorn Leines has been
used and abused it for years, so if that's okay with him, it should be Waist
okay with you too, don't you think? 25,6 cm
WE LIKE High quality all mountain board. Solid, snappy and wide
enough to tackle the backcountry.

Zingara
A truly unique all mountain twin-tip, with incredible buoyancy and high
edge hold, with which to go from carving to powder.
With the Zingara, Made in Italy reaches the pinnacle of its creativity
and elegance. The Zingara was born from an “handmade” concept
that means craftsmanship handed down from a tradition of love for
beautiful things and nature. Soul in paulownia and ash, triaxial fiber,
nano graphite insole, sidewall in bamboo, reinforcements in ash strips,
side by side edges, aluminum protections at nose and tail: here every Setback
detail is taken care of up to perfection. The search for technical inno- 0 cm
vation blends with a unique and sophisticated design realized to ac-
company you in all your performances. It allows you to raise your stan-
dards by expressing your true nature and to experience epic days. The
dedication to sustainability is perceived at a glance while the feeling
on the snow demonstrates all the Italian craftsmanship and the con-
tinuous search for innovation. The Zingara is truly nomadic: it adapts
with style to every new context, to continuous transfers and changes
of position. It is multifaceted, versatile and reliable at the same time.
Progressive flex, modern microcamber and shape with rounded tips
make it suitable for any snow and slope conditions and easy to handle
in multiple situation. No matter how demanding you are: the Zingara
will always live up to your expectations.

Power, precision and reliability for epic performance on any terrain.

Sturdy and reliable, it is capable of conquering any surface. In action

Descender
Speed and difficult terrain are its daily bread, perfect for backcountry
exploration.
Why limit your creativity? With this board you won't have to com-
promise, and your style will stand out. Acceleration, explosive pop
and adrenaline are the DNA of Descender, designed to give emo-
tions. If you love exploration and high-speed control, the Descender
is your board. Designed to adapt to any new situation, it has a minimal
and captivating design. The four points of contact - the classic two at Setback
the beginning of the nose and tail and two power bumps under the 2 cm
bindings - feel all right, giving this generous directional board truly
exceptional edge grip and control. Versatile and unconventional, it
finds its balance - and consequently knows how to be fully appre-
ciated - on uneven and changing terrain, such as passages from soft
to icy terrains and vice versa: you rarely find boards that do not let
you perceive the difference as the edge grip is effective. Created to
never disappoint, it will always live up to any ambition, even in radical
conditions. Perfect synthesis between reactivity and power, it ensures
incredible challenges and memorable days. It is also dynamic and fast
in speed edge changes, making the Descender suitable for freestyle
backcountry. It is not a board ideal for beginners or riders who want
a touring directional stick that is easy to handle even at low speeds:
the Descender was born to go fast, where it finds its comfort zone and Waist

How to
choose your Bindings.
n obscure component of snowboard gear, and for this re-
ason perhaps the most complicated to analyze. It should
be considered both what is above, and what is underne-
ath; in addition to style, riding level, materials, stiffness
and closing methods. It is important not to underestimate
the choice of bindings because it is the component of
transmission of impulses to the board, and together with
the latter responsible for the final performance.
Dimension.
The bindings should be chosen in the right size according
to your boot. Surely those who have a number higher
than 10US, will have to buy a binding of size L. The pre-
cise size of boot for which it is necessary to pass from M
to L still remains a mystery. In fact it depends on the size
of the shell of the boot (even with the same number and
size, the external dimensions may vary from model to mo-
del), and from the fact that the bindings have adjustments
for centralizing the boot. In many bindings it is possible to
move the heel arch for a more central better positioning.
Compatibility.
The most classic systems for attaching the bindings to the
board are the 2x4 and the 4x4, and if you have a board
with this arrangement of screws, you don't have to wor-
ry about particular compatibility. It is different if we talk
about Burton boards with the Burton Channel system, a
technology that allows to increase the precision of the
regulation and to improve the lightness. Burton bindings
are naturally compatible with the system, but if you buy
another brand it is always better to make sure that the
fixing disk has the appropriate adapter.
Materials.
The materials used in the construction of the bindings can
be plastics, metals, alloys or even carbon in case of the
best performing models. Plastics have a good absorption
of vibrations and usually a lower price. Metals such as alu-
minum, on the other hand, have greater resistance to low
temperatures and a greater level of impact resistance.
The flex.
Binding stiffness goes hand in hand with board and riding
style. Exactly like with board and boots, a greater rigidity
is preferred by freeriders for stability, while the more the
riding style tends towards jibbing or freestyle, the more it
will tend to consider soft bindings. It is very important to
choose bindings with an adequate flex for your board, to
avoid unbalance. You can test the flex in the spoiler. We
can test it by trying to flex the spoiler towards the rear, or
by making twists.
Cushioning.
Overlanding is the nightmare of every freestyler. In fact,
freestyle-oriented bindings have cushioning systems to
better absorb shocks during wrong landings. Such bin-
dings have greater thicknesses in the baseplate, or even
systems based on air pads. Bindings with a thinner base-
plate on the contrary will give a more direct feeling on
the board and will allow greater precision while carving.
Others.
Noteworthy are the ankle and toe straps, as well as the
front closings that hold the boot firmly to the rest of the
binding. The more enveloping and cushioned they are,
the better the overall feeling and comfort will be during
riding. In some particular bindings we can find particular
technologies. For example we can find the baseplate sli-
ghtly tilted towards the outside to ensure a more natural
riding position and a better flexion of the knees; or the
adjustment of the spoiler inclination to personalize the
edge grip.

 Cartel X TE R R A I N
FREESTYLE
The Cartel is one of Burton's most successful traditional binding, because it features all
the characteristics that a good binding should have. FREERIDE

Lightweight, support and comfort. This binding features all these four characteristics. ALL MNT

The Cartel is admittedly a stiff flex binding but in truth it has only a stiff support and
JIBBING
responsiveness because the comfort and feeling are the one of a normal medium flex
binding. It adapts to all boots tested without problems. Taken in hand before putting it
on, it is appreciated for its lightweight. The Flex FullBED pad is very effective, proving
to be a truly valid interface for dampening vibrations and maximizing comfort. Let's talk R I D I N G LE V E L
about the straps: the combined work of the Hammockstrap 2.0 strap and the Supergrip BEGINNER
Capstrap 2.0 offers a firm grip but without pressure points, with the result that power
transmission is optimized and it is not necessary to overly stiffen the structure. Finally, I N T E R M E D I AT E

the Heel Hammock highback provides all the necessary rear support without depriving
A D VA N C E D
of lateral movement and indeed gives additional comfort. The DialFLAD system, the
system for adjusting forward lean, is very simple and above all impact-proof. PRO

WE LIKE Thumbs up! The Cartel X is a guarantee of comfort, response and performance.

How to
choose your Boots.
Choosing the right boot is fundamental, since it is the only
component of the gear in direct contact with our body.
We assume that the boots should be comfortable. We
must take into consideration the width of your sole and of
course the length of your foot. It is important to consider
the actual length in centimeters of our foot; often EU or
US translations can vary a lot from brand to brand. The
measurement in Mondopiont (MP), corresponds instead
exactly to the length in centimeters of the inner sole of
the boot. Snowboard boots have a thermoforming insole
that will quickly adapt to the shape of our feet. This is
why the length of the boot should be chosen precisely,
so that the tip of the foot touches the tip of the boot
without bothering.
Even the boots have a level of stiffness, also called flex,
which must be chosen according to your needs, your
riding style, and your equipment. For example, a too soft
boot worn while riding a carving board will be definitely
underperforming.
Stiff boots.
They are more suitable for freeriding and carving. Just
think of the harboard boots: almost as stiff as a ski boot
to quickly transmit input directly to the board. Stiff boots
therefore allow control of the board at high speeds
without chattering, and also guarantee good protection
of your precious joints.
Medium flex boots.
Also known as all mountain. And, as you can imagine,
they stand halfway through stiff and soft boots allowing
you to do a bit of everything. Often chosen by those who
are starting or simply don't want to invest in two pairs of
boots to have greater precision for each riding style. They
are also the choice of high-level freestylers, who need
flexibility without giving up the support needed for big
tricks and huge landings.
Soft boots.
This is the territory of the jibbing lovers. A soft boot
allows lots of ankle mobility, making flat tricks and edge
controls at low speeds easier and more natural. This of
course will make you lose some stability in high-speed
turns, making the control more difficult; what the boot
lacks as support, we will have to put it in our leg muscles.
However, if you like to kill it on park and street rails, well
this is certainly the best choice.
An important side note must be made on lacing
methods. Over the years, various technologies have been
developed that have the purpose of wrapping the foot as
evenly as possible during the fit.
Traditional lacing.
It is still one of the most appreciated in the snowboard
world. These are classic laces that wrap and close the
outer shell of the boot. It is certainly a slower method
but allows a manual and personal closure in the individual
lengths of the boot.
Boa system.
It is a fast closing technology that allows to tighten
the boot by rotating a wheel in the upper part of the
boot. The closure is designed with a very resistant steel
cable, and allows the closure of the boot in a rapid and
homogeneous way. Also the release is equally fast.
Quicklace system.
It is a system that allows to tighten the outer shell of the
boot through one or two laces and without having to
make knots. The double lace systems, as well as in the
boa technology, allow a greater precision of the closure
and a differentiation between the upper and lower part,
ensuring greater customization of the fit.

ThirtyTwo reconfirms itself as a leader in the snowboard boots sector with yet another

It is absolutely not at all easy to realize a boot that is at the same time reactive, soft

some nasty corners on groomers. ThirtyTwo has succeeded, thanks to its long expe-

a Lashed or in any case a forgiving freestyle boot with a soft flex, but when you put it to I N T E R M E D I AT E
work its nature is much more aggressive and technical. Traditional lacing for millimeter
customization, Intuition thermoformable liner that really stands out. The insole made in A D VA N C E D

collaboration with Michelin has exceptional grip on any type of snow. Suitable for practi- PRO

Comfortable and performing all mountain boot with a medium flex, an impeccable look TE R R A I N
that only DC can offer and with an effective, simple and very fast Boa lacing system. FREESTYLE

DC, since its debut in snowboarding, has accustomed us to a quality of high level snow
FREERIDE
footwear. The Control has been in the catalog for some years already but it’s not outda-
ted, just the opposite. It continues to be one of the most successful model for a number ALL MNT
of obvious reasons. Comfort: these boots are very comfortable, there are no pressure
JIBBING
points even when you tighten the boot to the bone. Boa: there is little to say here, the
Boa, especially the double one that we find in this model, does an excellent job when
lacing the boot. Fast and safe, it opens-closes really in an instant. This alone should be
enough. Design: DC reinvented skate shoes in the mid-90s and when it debuted in the R I D I N G LE V E L
snowboard world it revolutionized boot design with sneaker influence combined with
BEGINNER
functionality and comfort. The Control is really beautiful, well-proportioned in shape,
not at all bulky and full of details that please the eye. Finally, the feeling of riding with I N T E R M E D I AT E
the Control on the feet is really pleasant. On groomers it offers truly optimal support
A D VA N C E D
and power transmission, in the park it is much more flexible than it may seem at the
first fit and allows for truly remarkable mobility. The insole has a nice grip on all types of PRO
snow and combined with insoles cushions impacts and vibrations without any problem.

FREERIDE
There is a new player in the field of step in bindings, it's called Clicker and it puts on its top
ALL MNT
selling boot to complete the kit.
It is one of the best-selling snowboard boots in the world, so it doesn't sound so strange JIBBING

that for the launch of the new binding-boot interface K2 has chosen its Clicker version.
To the most seasoned testers, the word step in alone gives rise to a certain bewilder-
ment, but any doubts are promptly dispelled once worn and fixed to the Clicker hull.
R I D I N G LE V E L
The Maysis is already a very comfortable boot, it guarantees an optimal fit and provides
BEGINNER
a nice support. The Maysis XHB is a fairly stiff boot but not too stiff if you consider
that the Conda system, that simulates the grip of the ankle strap, is hidden inside. In I N T E R M E D I AT E
fact, one of the two Boas is dedicated to grip adjustment and we really liked this detail
because you can decide the degree of grip: the final sensation is really close to that of A D VA N C E D

a classic binding. While riding, you won’t notice that you are using a step in system and PRO
if you love all mountain riding you will appreciate the power transmission in addition to
the comfort of this boot. Small quick mention to the lacing system: K2 has done a great
job, making it much easier and more comfortable to use the boot.

If you're the type of rider who wants to feel firm support and grip when tying a boot, the FREERIDE

Insano could be your next travel companion. ALL MNT

At first glance, the impression is that of an extremely technical boot: double Boa, Mi-

chelin insole and tough upper suggest that we are not in front of an apres ski model.
And in fact, as soon as you put it on, the grip and the support are those that make riders
who love big features or big curves fall in love with it. Once the bindings are fastened,
you will soon get to know how it works right from the first corners because it takes very R I D I N G LE V E L
little to activate its power transmission. The response is immediate and precise, the BEGINNER
support is truly exceptional and, even after several rides, the Boa system keeps the boot
absolutely tight. You don't have to imagine a grumpy and uncomfortable boot, because I N T E R M E D I AT E

the Insano is really comfortable and can be worn without problems and does not create
A D VA N C E D
pain in any part of the leg. The design is truly elegant and all shapes are aesthetically
balanced. Mention of merit to the insole made in collaboration with Michelin that offers PRO

How to
choose your Clothing.
DWR or Gore-Tex?
The clearly provocative title wants to underline the general
chaos that reigns in technical snowboarding clothing. Un-
fortunately or not, outerwear is that piece of gear that by
its very nature undergoes the greatest influences of fashion:
sometimes it helps to improve it, other times it confuses the
ideas of those who have to choose the outfit for the season.
Fabrics
Gore Tex, PrimaLoft, Polartec, big words or real quality? Ob-
viously the answer is the second one, but put yourself in the
shoes of a kid who identifies the Gore-Tex logo only because
he has seen it printed on luxury streetwear clothes. We belie-
ve that maybe a short digression could avoid great mistakes
for the less experienced riders. First of all, the three brands
mentioned above, together with others, are among the top
players in the production of synthetic fabrics with a high de-
gree of waterproofing and breathability. Without describing
each one of them in detail, let's just say that when you find that
name on your clothes it is an indication of quality.
Layers
Beyond the fabrics that make up your technical outfits, it is
important to learn how to dress to protect yourself in the
best possible way against the elements and the cold. It is
now known that ultra heavy jackets with a normal t-shirt un-
derneath are not the smartest choice: the watchword is to
dress in layers. The first layer in contact with snow and cold
is important as the last one close to your skin, and the same
can be said for intermediate layers.Today you can find at ab-
solutely affordable prices first layers, socks, tights, technical
fleeces of every material and fit, both very useful to fight
cold and to let your skin breathe while avoiding getting wet
with your own sweat.
Sustainability
Another very important aspect, that everyone of us should
learn to recognize and above all look for, is "sustainabili-
ty". Fortunately, most of the outerwear companies today
use recycled materials, try to geographically reduce their
production cycle and generally strive to ensure the lowest
environmental impact. Some brands such as Picture Organic
Clothing have made it its mission since day one, others, such
as Burton, have set up a drastic step-by-step program to cut
environmental impact. The concept is very simple: the more
we invest in sustainable clothes, the more chance we will have
to preserve our winters that are already in serious danger.
Bib, track pant & anorak
Let's move onto lighter topics. In the last few seasons, three
terms related to outerwear have filled the mouths of all
snowboarding enthusiasts: bib, track pant and anorak.
The bib is the all-over with braces that prevents snow from
entering when you fall, it is very useful in the backcountry
where being submerged in powder is not so rare. In truth
it never disappeared, but for several years it was put in the
closet and then came back because it is indeed a very fun-
ctional item.
The track pant exploded in snowboarding thanks to a fa-
mous sportswear brand that proposed a simple snowboard
pants without gaiters at the bottom of the leg, very simple
in construction and with an elastic on the bottom to prevent
snow from entering. After it, almost all brands have joined
in the proposal of basic pants with elastic at the bottom be-
cause they are very cheap and without frills that can be torn
away. As you can imagine, as long as we talk about parks
and slopes, we can agree; but when you start moving into
backcountry you need something more technical.
Finally, the anorak, straight from the 80s, it has reappeared
in recent seasons and then became a fixed element of any
self-respecting outerwear collection: 1/4 zip, front pocket
for everything you need, elastic cord on the bottom. The
reasons for its success are again its simplicity and low cost.
All these warnings just to say that, beyond the more or less
precious fabrics, there are a series of considerations to make
when choosing the outfit that transcend aesthetics and that
will make you spend more and more happy days on the snow.

How to choose
Goggles and Helmet.
How to choose a snowboard goggle.
One aspect to carefully consider when choosing a snow-
board goggle is the size. It is in fact important to select a
size that suits your face type. For example, for those with
a rounder face shape it is advisable to avoid very compact
models that could be uncomfortable and limit peripheral
vision, for girls, on the other hand, many brands create ad
hoc models suitable for the female face.
Almost all goggles on the market are equipped with a dou-
ble lens that reduces fogging. People on a budget could
buy a single lens mask but are far less effective, especially
in difficult conditions, exactly when you don't want that to
happen. That said, there are two basic types of lenses to
choose from: cylindrical and spherical .
Types of lenses.
Cylindrical lenses curve around the frame horizontally, but
are flat from top to bottom. They are simpler to manufactu-
re and therefore cheaper, but still offer good performance
and are arguably more stylish.
Spherical lenses are a little more high tech, curving both
horizontally and vertically, like a bubble. This has three ad-
vantages: increased peripheral vision, reduced glare, and
less distortion at the edges of the lens. Spherical lenses are
therefore more expensive, but it’s always worth checking if
the style and fit work for you.
In the past few years, so-called frameless goggles have
also become popular. The lens clips straight onto the front
rather than under a rim, providing increased peripheral vi-
sion and a clean look. The downside is that the lens is a
little less protected from falls than a traditional frame. A
crucial factor, whatever type of lens you opt for, is ventila-
tion. When air flows freely through the goggles it reduces
their capacity to fog, so look for a pair with plenty of foam
or plastic vents. When the visibility changes, it’s important
to be able to change the lens, so keep an eye out for quick
release mechanisms. Some models will even come with a
spare lens (usually low light) to help clinch the deal.
Which lens to choose?
Goggle lenses come in a variety of tints to suit different
weather conditions. It’s a great idea to carry at least one
spare lens should the visibility change or you take a bad
crash that leaves your first one frozen. When you buy a new
pair of goggles, it will usually come fitted with a modera-
tely dark tint, a lens like this cuts out a fair amount of light
thanks to its reflective coating, and can be used in mixed
conditions including patchy sun and clouds, but with un-
certain weather conditions, fog or overcast skies, you will
definitely need a very light colored lens that increases the
contrast.Low light lenses are typically rose, green or yellow.
They’re super bright but unlike clear lenses, which are only
really designed for night riding, they protect you from gla-
re and offer more definition in a white-out.
For cloudy days when it’s not actually snowing, a lens like
the yellow/blue chrome combo pictured below still makes
the most of the available light. In perfect bluebird condi-
tions snow blindness becomes a genuine risk, so it’s time to
think about a more heavily mirrored or perhaps polarized
lens. A grey tint will cut out the majority of both direct
sunlight and reflected light from the snow. Polarized ver-
sions reduce glare further by only letting light penetrate
the lens from one direction, the downside of mirrored
lenses is that they can scratch easily and therefore require
careful looking after.
How to choose a snowboard helmet.
Your head is definitely more delicate than your butt, so we
don't need to tell you how important it is to protect it. The
protection market has grown exponentially in recent years,
so here are some features to keep an eye on when you go
 Lens

Size
shopping for your next helmet.

Watch out for stickers that prove that your helmets have
been tested and meet certain product standards. The CE
logo ensures that the helmet follows the safety require-
ments set by the European Union which are expressed in
the form of EN numbers.

Fundamental features
For a helmet to work properly you need to choose the ri-
ght size, so be very careful that the product you are going
to buy is the correct size. If it feels a little loose, you can
tighten it around the crown using a dial on the back.

Also ventilation is very important. Make sure your helmet

has plenty of vents, especially if you’re riding in the spring
or you normally wear a hat underneath. Adjustable vents
can help regulate temperature further.

Goggle straps and clips allow you to attach your goggles

to the outside of the helmet and help you not to lose it
during a fall.
Ventilation
If you like to stay warm, look for a model with earpads
and a plush lining better id removable because often the
helmet heats a lot when we are riding. Furthermore, it is
essential to remove it in order to wash it correctly, avoiding
bad smells.

The chin strap should feel comfy and be easy to get on and
off. Some models feature magnetic clips which mean you
can even do your helmet up while wearing gloves.

Now that you know how to protect your eyes and head,
you are ready to tackle any curve!

The new Barryvox S has a wide and simple interface and intuitive operation system, im-

even more effective by the Smart Search function.
This digital/analog device with three antennas has a large digital search strip of 70m
and 80m analog and a wide and reliable reception band, 70m digital and 95m analog.
In the field, the Barryvox S proved powerful, easy and quick to use. The display is also
visible with polarized glasses and the buttons can also be used with gloves. The shell is
waterproof and shock resistant and the interface features a revolutionary graphics. All
these features demonstrate Mammut's commitment to technological innovations, made
possible also thanks to the experience guaranteed by 45 years of development and de-
sign in Switzerland. A really powerful tool: the wide circular reception bands ensure that
the signal transmitted by the buried ones is detected faster: the wider the search strip,
the shorter the route on the terrain and therefore buried people will be found faster.
The marking function improves management in the case of complex scenarios where,
thanks to the possibility of scrolling between the various signals, the rescuer can search
for each buried person individually so as to significantly halve the timing. All the signals
of the devices of the buried subjects are gradually stored in a list and the rescuer can
see every single data (distance and direction) so as to facilitate the multiple research.
WE LIKE Easily readable display even with polarized glasses. It can also be used when
wearing gloves. Impact resistance, waterproof, simple use interface.

DEADBOLT by SPY+

Spy+’s new Marauder goggle is the only one fea-

turing the new patent-pending Deadbolt magnetic
lens change system.

This innovative system overcomes the primary is-

sue with goggles that rely solely on magnets to se-
cure the lens to the frame, the lens ejecting during
a fall or impact. This new technology, on the other
hand, thanks to very powerful magnet system com-
bined with a side block, guarantees stability to the
lens even in the most difficult moments. It is a qui-
ck, immediate and safe locking system that tran-
smits greater safety on the snow. It therefore offers
a better practicality of use, so clean and simple that
it can be managed while the user is wearing the
goggle, with gloves, even with their eyes closed.

In addition to the innovative Deadbolt system, the
Marauder goggle features a game-changing Happy
Definition (HD+) lens that boosts alertness while
providing enhanced color and contrast in order to
have impact-resistant, distortion-free optics. They’re
built from flexible, durable polyurethane + nylon for
seasons of use and guarantee 100% UV protection
for your eyes against damaging high-altitude sunli-
ght.
while the locking levers bolt it down; it’s a ride so
secure you can plunder pow in peace. In addition the
Rise ventilation system utilizes the Venturi effect to
draw air through subframe vents above the goggle,
creating a vacuum that pulls hot air from behind the
lens. In the end subtle notches in temples allow for
seamless OTG (over the glasses) integration with RX
eyeglasses. This goggle is compatible with the most
popular helmets on the market.

The anti-fog injected SIC (Superior Injected Curve)

dual-lens maintains lens shape for optical clarity. De-
adbolt’s magnets securely guide the lens into place
