2027 thirtytwo Atmosphere Snowboard Review

Reviewer: Duncan Philip, Store Manager, Whistler
Location: Sun Peaks, BC
Conditions: Cold & Chalky, Bluebird Groomers

"It holds an edge. This thing's great at long, drawn-out carves, it does tight, snappy carves, and you can get your elbow down on this thing. It's very stable at speed."

thirtytwo jumped into snowboards this season with 12 all-new shapes, and the thirtytwo Atmosphere Snowboard is the big-mountain pow stick of the bunch. Camber runs from just outside the bindings into a big reverse camber off the nose and a touch off the tail. Directional Carbon Boost Stringers stiffen the nose so it won't buckle on hard landings. It's built to float the deep stuff, and on an icy, gladed day at Sun Peaks it still held an edge through every kind of carve and stayed calm at speed.

Pros

  • Big reverse camber in the nose keeps it floating in deep snow
  • Camber from just outside the bindings grips on firm, icy groomers
  • Carves long and drawn-out or tight and snappy on command
  • Stable at speed and composed landing jumps
  • Rides switch well for a directional pow shape

Cons

  • Nose and tail don't have an easy flex, so it's not the pick for jibbing small to medium park rails
  • Taper and 20mm setback favor riding pointed downhill over a switch-heavy park day

Who Is It For?

The Atmosphere is for backcountry-minded riders and freestyle freeriders who like to point it straight downhill when the snow gets deep. It suits intermediate to advanced riders who want one board for chutes up top, side hits on the way down, groomers, and the occasional lap through the park to hit jumps. If you want an easy-flexing nose and tail for pressing and jibbing small to medium park rails, look elsewhere.
