They say: Mountain matriarch.
We say: A great starter board that will ease you in slowly. With its super-soft flex and predictable camber profile this probably won’t have the stability at speed needed by experts, but beginners will love it.
Tester says: Nice, easy to turn and predictable. Not the poppiest, but perfect for intermediates.

About Salomon
- Building boards since: 1997
- HQ: Annecy, France
- History lesson: The father and son team Francois and Georges Salomon founded the brand that bears their name in 1947. Although it started out in a small workshop in Annecy, the company soon outgrew these humble origins. By the time it reached its 50th birthday in 1997 – the year it launched its first range of snowboards – it was one of the world’s biggest ski makers. Perhaps predictably then, its boards met with a lukewarm reception from the hardcore of the scene. This didn’t deter Salomon however, and it kept investing in the sport. In the end its attentiveness paid off when snowboarders realised that Salomon’s boards were simply too good to ignore any more.
- Ridden by: Sensible shredders who like a decent amount of tech in their sticks without compromising too much on style.
