#10 Salomon SLEEPWALKER 

Canyon Park rats have spoken and the Salomon sleepwalker is a great bang for buck! I've took this bad boy for a few laps at Canyon Ski Resort and found it to handle great in the park and messing around on side hits. Its not the most poppy board on the market but its fun, flexy and forgiving! Would recommend for park rats, jibbers and entry level boarders that want to start having fun right away!

Salomon Sleepwalker -  Twin/ Flat out Camber

A true twin, mid-soft flex Salomon's "Rock Out Camber" allows for a playful ride that locks into rails and provides definitive pop off jumps. Salomon put these radical Royal Rubber Pads underfoot for a smooth ride with added protection against sidewall blow outs. If your budget is a bit tighter and you need a board that will take a beating on rails, boxes and jumps, Get a sleep walker!

#9 Never summer SNOW TROOPER

From hard icy groomers to steep pow in the trees, The Snow Trooper performs when you need it to. If you like riding trees on the back side of Lake Louise or heading further west to Kicking Horse or Revelstoke BC, This board will perform at any mountain. It's quick and nimble in tight trees but will give you the float you need on the deeper days. 1 board to rule them All-mountin riders. 

Never Summer Snow Trooper -  Directional/ Original Rocker Camber

The Snowtrooper is the all mountain equalizer and a great board for any riding style and ability level. It has the Original Rocker Camber Profile for amazing float and turn initiation, a mid-flex for all mountain versatility, with the natural feel of a slightly setback stance and symmetrical shape. Some might even say it’s the Swiss Army Knife of snowboards.

#8 Ride PSHYCO CANDY

Ride Snowboards always kills it with directional shapes and the Psychocandy fits right in. Looking at the shape you'd think Pow/All-Mounatin but after riding this board it's so fun messing around on side hits and in the park. This board accomodates a wide range of riders from newbie boarders to psycho senders. Its rocker profile is really soft and buttery, great for wheelies, presses and world record tripod attempts.

Ride Psychocandy -  Directional/ True Rocker Camber

The PSYCHOCANDY’s shape is based on the innovative WARPIG, so the board is designed to be ridden 3 to 6 cms shorter than your standard board and approaches the mountain with the same ideology attitude that the WARPIG is known for. A Tapered Bi-Radial Sidecut maximizes grip and allows the PSYCHOCANDY to maintain speed in all conditions. Carbon Slimewalls® enhance response and stability. The PSYCHOCANDY is a directional all-mountain board designed to ride like a WARPIG so you can tackle any and all terrain the mountain has to offer, be it park, pipe, pow or slush.

#7 Lib Tech T.RICE PRO

The board that doesn't really need an introduction, Travis Rice built it right the first time and is now standing the test of time. The T.Rice is an All mountain destroyer and can handle anything you'll throw at it. The C2 Camber allows you to float in pow and the twin shape is great for park riding and landing/taking off switch. It might be a touch stiff for a beginner but you will never be able to out ride this snowboard.. unless your Chris Rasman.

Travis’ favorite Jackson Hole designed / globally tested shape in lightweight, long lasting, environmentally friendly, powerful HP construction. The T.Rice Pro HP is a versatile stick that will allow you to push your limits anywhere on the mountain and is still playful enough to be your daily driver. The perfect resort snowboard from the world’s best snowboarder.

#6 Ride KINK

Park laps for daaaays! if your a hand rail/park rider, this is your board. I've ridden this board multiple times and the soft flex on the Ride Kink locks you into presses and slides so you can take em right off the end of the rail. We've had multiple team riders on this board riding at Canyon, Lake Louise and Sunshine and they would all ride this board again and again. plus the 90's feel on this graphic is insane!

Ride Kink  -  Twin / Extra Camber

The Kink is a street machine. Designed with a focus on predictability and durability for urban and park riding, the KINK is at home on handrails and jibs. The Kink is the board of choice for Jed Anderson and many team riders when riding in the street. The Extra Camber profile has camber underfoot for pop and smooth turn initiation with a minimal amount of rocker at the tip for predictable catch-free performance. A Quadratic Sidecut provides predictability and edge hold. Slimewalls® and Cleave Edge™ provide a smoother ride and increased durability. The sintered base is harder and more durable. The Kink is a board designed for modern freestyle and street performance.

#5 Jones MOUNTAIN TWIN

Then name says it all with this one, Perfect for All mountain riding in any conditions. I rode this board on a semi soft day at Sunshine, I found it to be poppy and responsive and it can really hold an edge when your ripping keeping you in control. Dropping cliffs and hitting side hits, I would use this board as a daily driver without question.

Jones Mountain Twin  -  Twin / CamRock Camber

Our go to choice for your average to expert rider, If you want to rip everything on the entire mountain this board will push back when you lean into it.

It’s built to shred the whole mountain like an endless skate park without sacrificing float in pow. The Mountain Twin is a friendly ride that can help you build your shred skills everywhere from the trees to the terrain park.

#4 Nitro TEAM PRO MARCUS KLEVELAND

I think we've all been waiting to see Marcus get a pro model for a while now, He's turned the knuckle of jumps into his own style of riding which is now a featured event in the X-games as "The knuckle huck" This board has the snap and response you need on bigger features and is also suuuuper fast with their Sintered speed formula HD Base. It's probably not the best choice for a beginner but if your determined to ride this board it would make you a better snowboarder.

Nitro Team Pro Marcus Klevland  -  Twin / Camber

The Team Pro Marcus Kleveland snowboard is a board built to do it all at a level above
the rest. This long over due pro model board offers more pop, control, and speeds allowing Marcus to take his creative riding from the knuckles at his home mountain to the slopestyle finals at X-Games. If you like jumping of anything and everything, The Kleveland Team Pro will hand

#3 Salomon HUCK KNIFE

The Salomon Huck knife has really started to gain popularity among contest snowboarders and Park riders around the globe. I've ridden this board every year for the last 7 models and have seen a slight progression into a touch stiffer park board. Kai Spitzer, One of our team riders and shop staff has also put this board to the test, He loves the pop and side cut which makes this board responsive and agile for quick corrections going off the lip of features. From tail blocks to double back rodeo 10's, Kai approves of this snowboard.

Salomon Huck Knife  -  Twin / Camber

Our flagship true-twin freestyle board, the Huck Knife, was built for jumps, transition, and rails using our most aggressive camber profile and paired with a versatile flex for precise maneuvers. A steeper nose and tail design provides snap, response, and swing weight reduction while a long list of tech enhances pop and stability at high speeds.

#2 Capita MERCURY

Some say the Mercury will get you into and out of every possible situation, its very true. This board is my personal choice for riding pow, park and running over everything that gets in my way. It has the snap when you need it and rigidity at high speeds while also being playful on ditch kickers and side hits. For me this board really shines in deeper snow due to the camber profile with camber in the centre and rocker on both ends, It seems to plain quicker on pow allowing you to go fast, so fast in fact that you might land your self on Jerry of the day.

Capita Mercury  -  Directional Twin / Camber

This award-winning series is renowned for all-terrain versatility, from powder and kickers to side hits and park laps. The Mercury is designed for power when you want it and float when you need it.

Our #1 pick and one of the top selling boards on the market for a reason, The Defenders of Awesome has the best flex and style of camber to accommodate nearly ever style of riding. You can ride this down wiwaxy at Lake Louise on your first day or take it into the back country to drop cliffs and hit booters. I've ridden this board in every scenario and can say its the best all round do everything board. The art work is done By Cory Smith who has been doing graphics since day 1 if you remember the "stair master" series and now Spring Break as his brain child.
