Camber Profile: Cam-Out Camber
Flex: 6/10
Personality: Surfy & Playful
The 2027 Nitro Fintwin is one of the most fun and unique boards in Nitro's Quiver Series. Designed by Bryan Fox and Tommy Delago, the Fintwin blends the float of a powder board, the maneuverability of a shortboard, and the playful personality of a surfboard into a shape that makes every soft-snow day feel better. Featuring a volume-shifted design, tapered swallowtail shape, and Nitro's forgiving Cam-Out Camber profile, the Fintwin is built to slash, surf, and flow through terrain rather than simply ride over it.
Unlike many dedicated powder boards, the Fintwin doesn't feel like a one-trick pony. The mid-wide platform, progressive sidecut, and responsive flex make it surprisingly capable on groomers, spring slush, tree runs, and side hits. It rides shorter than a traditional board while maintaining plenty of surface area for float, creating a nimble, playful feel that encourages creativity all over the mountain.
For riders who dream of surf-style turns, powder stashes, tight trees, and making ordinary resort laps feel extraordinary, the Fintwin delivers one of the most enjoyable ride experiences in Nitro's lineup.

Powder riders who value maneuverability over straight-line charging
Tree riders and side-hit hunters

Flex: 5.5/10
Personality: Smooth & Powerful
The 2027 CAPiTA Sidewinder is an all-new addition to the CAPiTA lineup, built for riders who believe there's no better feeling than laying down deep, powerful carves. Designed as a true resort carving machine, the Sidewinder blends smooth turn initiation, exceptional edge hold, and surprising all-mountain versatility into one confidence-inspiring package. It proves you don't need a race board to enjoy precision carving—you just need the right shape.
Built around CAPiTA's new Alpine V3 Directional profile, the Sidewinder combines a camber-dominant ride with forgiving transition zones that make the board approachable without sacrificing power. A 15 mm tapered directional shape, Progressive Sidecut, and articulated tail allow the board to enter turns effortlessly while delivering explosive acceleration out of every carve. The lightweight Multizone Dual Core™, Special Blend Fiberglass, and fast Quantum Drive™ Base create a ride that's lively, smooth, and ready for everything from first-chair corduroy to afternoon powder stashes.
While the Sidewinder was designed to carve trenches, don't mistake it for a one-dimensional snowboard. Its directional shape and tapered outline float naturally in softer snow, making it an excellent daily driver for riders who spend most of their time exploring the resort.

The 2027 Jones Frontier 2.0 is built for riders who want one snowboard that confidently handles almost every day on the mountain. Sitting just below the Flagship in the Jones lineup, the Frontier 2.0 delivers approachable freeride performance with a smooth, forgiving personality that makes it equally comfortable carving groomers, floating through powder, and weaving through trees. For 2027, Jones completely redesigned the Frontier, making it more versatile and even more enjoyable as an everyday resort board.
The biggest update is the addition of a Medium 3D Contour Base, giving the Frontier smoother turn initiation, better float, and a more catch-free feel in variable snow. Paired with Jones' Directional CamRock profile, a subtly tapered directional shape, and Traction Tech 3.0, the board blends the edge hold and response of camber with the maneuverability and float of rocker. The lightweight Master Core and fast Sintered 8000 Base provide the energy and durability needed for full seasons of exploring everything the resort has to offer.
Whether you're carving first tracks, chasing fresh snow through the trees, or simply looking for one dependable board to ride every day, the Frontier 2.0 delivers the confidence and versatility that have made it one of Jones' most popular all-mountain freeride boards.
