The Salomon HPS - Salomon x Aesmo 159 Snowboard was shaped by modern snowboarding pioneer Wolfgang Nyvelt, and is inspired by his love of the sport and all things big mountain. Crafted with nimble edge-to-edge control and built with a Ghost Green Core for power and stability through major sends -- the Salomon HPS - Salomon x Aesmo 159 Snowboard was crafted for fellow powder hounds. Made in only one size, so you can saddle up and stomp a line for the ages.
Rock Out Camber Flat between your bindings for stability, camber near the feet for response, and rocker on the tip/tail for pressability.
Responsive Flex A stiffer flex helps connect you with your board. It's stiffness allows for quicker turns, easier edge hold and impressive stability at speed.
Tapered Directional The tail width is slightly tapered (10-15 mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves flotation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
Quadratic Sidecut A blend of elliptic curves for easy turn initiation, effortless direction changes and fluid edge to edge transitions.
Ghost Green Core The Ghost Green core components have been selected to optimize pop and reduce weight with super light paulownia wood.
Popster Maximize the natural snap and powerful pop of wood with Popster's shaped core profile. Feels like your skateboard kicktail finally connected with your snowboard.
Biax MD Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
ABS Sidewalls Salomon's Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is a mouthful, so Salomon calls it ABS, the best material for sidewalls. The molecular structure can be described as a concrete bar with rubber nuggets inside, combining toughness for energy transfer and dampening properties for impact absorption.
Sintered EG Engineered for a super fast glide in everything from fresh pow to sticky spring snow. Sintered material provides superior wax retention, Gallium strengthens impact resistance, and the Electra finish gives a turbocharged glide.
Fine Stone Finish Speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
All-Mountain Edge Bevel A 1° edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut meets a 2° bevel between the feet. This delivers the most solid edge hold with no hang-ups.
