Powder-S Camber – Positive camber from the tail, through the mid-body and halfway through the nose. In the front part of the nose there is integrated rocker. Found in Rome's splitboards, this camber is designed for both float and slash. When you skin up for powder you want to glide effortlessly through it, whether it is dense of light. And you want to explode massive face shots when we find deep pockets. The rocker in the nose gives the float you wan; the positive camber in the middle and tail gives the power you need.

Response Rating – 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Directional – These boards feature noses that are larger than their tails to help you ride faster in deep snow. The stances are set back slightly to maximize this sidecut-to-stance relationship.

AirPop Core Matrix – Five zones of ultralight woods and air channels combine with snappy poplar for maximum lightweight response. Starting with the responsive “pop” of poplar laminates, we integrate five zones of low-density, ultra light wood to reduce weight. Then we add air channels to make it even lighter.

HotRods | Carbon Double Barrel – We mill channels in the cores of nearly every board we make and integrate thin carbon, glass and bamboo rods for more pop and more power. As with TurboRod Technology, we place HotRods in the boards to deliver power to specific areas. Found in both TurboRod and HotRod Technologies, this pattern features two rods that start under both bindings and extend in straight lines towards the tip and tail. This pattern provides a blend of response—double the energy-loading power for straightline pop, and also an added dose of torsional response to put more kick into our flat-rocker and powder boards.

StraightTriax 45 Laminate – In some boards, we want easy control over the board for laps through the park, and at the same time we want to be able to rip a Euro carve for the time on the rest of the hill. In this matrix, the 45 degree fibers allow for plenty of forgiveness in the park, while at the same time delivering power for slashing the mountain.

SinterStrong Sidewalls – In the new National and Marshal all-mountain freestyle boards, and in our re-designed Powder Division series, we use our new sidewalls constructed with sintered base material. With greater strength through greater elasticity, these sidewalls increase durability for those times that you unintentionally hit a rock or intentionally land on a rail.

SinterSpeed Base – Speed matters, whether you want to glide smoothly through powder or whether you want to make sure you clear the knuckle. For our higher end boards, this is the base that ensures you get to the line first and you land in the sweet spot.
