You don't win the Verbier Extreme five times and ride any old board. The Arbor Steepwater Snowboard was built in collaboration with Steve Klassen, big mountain snowboard pioneer. The Steepwater is built for power and control at speed on steep, exposed terrain. The full camber profile supplies you with the edging and pop you demand in gnargnar situations, while the directional shape is stable when rocketing out the bottom.
Full Camber – A modern version of the classic camber that many riders grew up with. Like the classic, it offers more stability and grip because more of your board is in the snow when it’s set on edge. Unlike the classic version, this profile offers more float and speed in soft snow thanks to a smoother transition into the nose area.
Stiff Flex – Performance at speed and through variable, big mountain terrain. Expect Ferrari like acceleration and control.
Directional – A slight stance setback combined with a directional shape provides you with a surfy ride in deep snow. Directional boards also give riders ample control and stability when dropping through chutes or landing big airs at high-speeds.
Blended Paulownia-Poplar Wood – Lighter weight durability
Triax Glassing – A stiffer lay-up for high-load, on-edge performance
Power Ply Top – Structural, performance enhancing real wood. Protective film laminated to the power ply tops contains 30% bio-plastic and eliminates the need for toxic clear coats.
Ply [topsheet] – Premium burled eucalyptus
360-Degree Full Wrap Sidewalls – Durability and impact resistance
Extruded Base – Polyethylene pellets are melted down in extreme heat then forced together under a high pressure machine. The end result is a strong, solid, and smooth base that is easy to maintain, non-porous and extremely durable.

The crown jewel of Rome technology and performance, the Rome Targa Snowboard Bindings are crammed with game-changing features for an unrivaled riding experience from piste to park. Starting with their Targa AntiShock Highback, there is a built in suspension system allowing the top section to flex 3 degrees before locking to reduce vibration and chatter. This means you'll have playful flex, yet response right before it starts taking away from your control for fun and aggressive riding. Pairing that with a V-Rod Baseplate, SubBase V-Pad, and Rome's specially designed straps, this thing is equivalent to a tank that weighs as much as a Prius. Drop a bomb on your local mountain with the Rome Targa Snowboard Bindings.
Stiff flex for powerful control
V-Rod Baseplate – A V-shaped baseplate with a "rod" of edge-to-edge contact limits the binding's footprint on the board, which delivers three things: natural board flex, greater binding flexibility side-to-side, and full power from toe to heel. You get the perfect blend of flex with pop.
SubBase V-Pad – Partnered with the V-Rod baseplate, the 3D profile of the EVA and rubber sub-base pad fills the lifted corners of the baseplate, creating cushioning for the smoothest side-to-side flex while allowing for a dampening barrier between the baseplate and topsheet.
Targa AntiShock Highback – Designed specifically for Targa bindings with a built-in suspension system where the top section flexes up to 3 degrees before locking out to reduce vibration and absorb shock and the middle bushing acts as a dampening system. This binding is designed for the most aggressive riders.
PF Adjust Ankle Strap – Ultimate customization with two interchangeable EVA inserts for three options of stiffness: extremely flexible, very supportive, and ultra supportive. Designed for the rider who readily adjusts bindings for versatility.
Auto Strap – Rome's signature idea using an elastic band to hold the ankle straps out of the footbed until you are ready to strap in.
ConformGrip Toe Strap – Overmolded TPR grips the toe of your boot for comfort and control, while conforming seamlessly to all models on the market.
Yes, I Can't System – Canting gives you more comfortable wide stances for more power over your nose and tail. Go with 2 degrees or 3.5 degrees of canting, or run 0 degrees if you want to go traditional.
