Salomon Women’s HPS Annie Boulanger Snowboard 2023 Salomon

Paying homage to legacy Salomon shapes, Annie Boulanger and powder shaping craftsman Wolle Nyvelt have collaborated to bring you this women’s specific powder design. This unique, directional tapered profile, includes a moon tail and features our powder camber, allowing for hairpin turns, superior float, and natural grip on groomers.

Profile: Powder Camber
Terrain: Resort/Pow
Response: Medium

Features:

• Float: Increased width and a long rocker nose allow for supreme buoyancy and turn initiation in deep snow.
  
• Agility: The moon tail, short and tapered, allows for tight turns and maximum maneuverability.
  
• Control: Powder camber under foot allows for explosive turns and stable charging.
• Ghost Green Core: Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing sustainable attributes of a super light wood.
• Popster: The core is strategically milled inside of the insert packs, allowing the board to flex more naturally underfoot and transfer energy into the nose and tail for added pop.
• Radial Sidecut: Created from a perfect circle, Radial is the classic sidecut for consistent response forward and switch
• Bamboo + Cork Rails: The liveliness of eco friendly bamboo mixed with cork composite, for the best direct feel and dampening ride in the industry.
  
  

Profile: Powder Camber

Camber between feet for carving and precision, and huge rocker on nose for floatation in very deep powder.

Shape: Tapered Directional

Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves floatation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.

A directional shape with a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail get taken to the next level with a tapering design—which sees a wider nose tapering into a narrower tail. The advantages are two-fold: this shape not only sees mega-enhanced floatation with a surfy feel in deep powder, it also creates a faster turning snowboard which is noticeably more nimble and great for tree riding.

Flex: 5-6 (Scale 1 – 10)

Versatility at it’s finest. From the park to the peak and anywhere in between.

Base: Sintered EG

Engineered for fast glide speed and maximum wax retention in all conditions. Gallium strengthens impact resistance, while the Electra finish enhances speed.
