The 2027 Arbor Rooster Fish is Arbor's newest addition to the premium Founders Collection, designed for riders who chase deep snow, technical terrain, and surf-inspired turns. Built around a full-volume tapered shape, aggressive swallowtail, and Parabolic Camber profile, the Rooster Fish delivers exceptional float without sacrificing the precision and power needed for steep descents and tight tree lines.
What sets the Rooster Fish apart is its unique blend of modern freeride technology and classic surf-inspired design. The oversized 3D Nose Hull naturally lifts the nose above deep snow, while the tapered swallowtail sinks effortlessly into the powder, creating a centered riding position that reduces back-leg fatigue and encourages smooth, flowing turns. A Progressive Dual Radius Sidecut provides quick turn initiation and confident edge hold, allowing the board to feel surprisingly nimble despite its powder-focused shape.
Although the Rooster Fish shines on storm days, it remains remarkably capable when conditions firm up. Arbor's Parabolic Camber profile delivers powerful edge engagement and stable carving performance, making this a freeride board that's just as satisfying laying trenches on fresh corduroy as it is floating through untouched powder.

The 2027 Bataleon Party Wave proves that bigger isn't always better. Designed as a volume-shifted snowboard, the Party Wave packs the surface area of a longer board into a shorter, wider shape, delivering incredible float, lightning-fast maneuverability, and one of the most playful rides in Bataleon's lineup. Sized 5–10 cm shorter than your traditional all-mountain board, it's built to slash turns, surf powder, and make every run feel like a powder day.
Built around Bataleon's signature 3BT™ (Triple Base Technology) with SideKick™, the Party Wave eliminates the catchy feel many directional boards can have while maintaining reliable edge hold when you need it. Its medium-soft flex encourages butters, quick turns, and playful riding, while the directional shape and extra width create effortless float in deep snow and surprising stability on groomers.
Although powder is where the Party Wave truly shines, don't mistake it for a one-dimensional snowboard. It's equally at home weaving through trees, slashing side hits, cruising spring slush, and making everyday resort laps more fun. If your riding style is more about creativity than competition, the Party Wave is one of the most entertaining boards you'll strap into.

The 2027 Nitro Dinghy is one of the most versatile boards in Nitro's Quiver Series. While it was inspired by powder riding, the Dinghy has earned a reputation as a board that feels just as comfortable carving groomers, slashing tree runs, and navigating variable resort conditions as it does floating through fresh snow.
Built around a tapered directional shape, oversized platform, and traditional camber profile, the Dinghy delivers a unique combination of float, stability, and edge hold. The extra width provides incredible confidence for riders with larger boot sizes while also creating a smooth, planted ride that thrives in chopped-up snow and spring conditions. Unlike many powder-specific boards, the Dinghy doesn't feel like a specialty tool—it feels like a daily driver with a serious appetite for soft snow.
The full camber profile gives the Dinghy a powerful, energetic personality. It rewards riders who enjoy carving, loading up turns, and generating speed from edge to edge. Whether you're ducking into Vermont tree lines, hunting side hits, or ripping early morning corduroy, the Dinghy brings a playful but confident feel that encourages exploration across the entire mountain.

The 2027 Rome Viper is built for riders who want one snowboard that can confidently carve groomers, slash side hits, weave through trees, and still feel at home taking laps through the park. New to Rome's lineup for 2027, the Viper replaces the legendary Freaker with a more modern directional twin design that blends freestyle creativity with freeride confidence.
Built around Fusion Camber, a Directional Twin shape, Directional Diamond 3D in the nose, and Directional Double Kick in the tail, the Viper offers a ride that's energetic without feeling demanding. The 3D nose improves float and makes turn initiation feel smooth and intuitive, while the Double Kick tail increases torsional response for quicker edge transitions and easier maneuvering in technical terrain. Carbon HotRods provide the snap and stability to charge harder as your speed increases.
The result is one of Rome's most versatile new boards—a snowboard equally happy carving fresh corduroy, boosting natural features, or exploring powder stashes after a storm. If you liked the Freaker, you'll appreciate how the Viper modernizes that ride with improved versatility and smoother handling.
