The Salomon HPS – Sickstick Snowboard is a pow hungry freerider with enough freestyle flair to satisfy the needs of riders who have graduated from the park. Its tapered twin shape strikes the right balance for playful riding in natural terrain, with a responsive flex to keep things composed when the runout on that big switch landing is a little spicier than expected.
              Â
Rocker Type
      Â
   Rock Out Camber–        Flat between your bindings for stability, camber near the feet for response, and rocker on the tip/tail for pressability.
      Â
Flex
      Â
   Flex Rating–        4 (1 Soft – 5 Stiff)
      Â
Shape
      Â
   Tapered Twin–        Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves flotation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
      Â
      Â
   Quadralizer Sidecut–        Explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic sidecuts allows high speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots.
      Â
Core
      Â
   Ghost Green Core–        Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing sustainable attributes of a super light paulownia wood.
      Â
      Â
   Popster–        Popster’s shaped core profile is strategically milled inside of the insert packs, allowing the board to flex more naturally underfoot and transfer energy into the nose and tail for added pop.
      Â
Laminates
      Â
   Biaxial Medium Density Fiberglass–        Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
      Â
      Â
   ABC Wrapper–        More dampening, less plastic ! ABC Wrapper is a process using wood veneers to reduce fiberglass in each board.
      Â
Sidewalls
      Â
   Recycled ABS Sidewalls–        The molecular structure of ABS can be described as a concrete bar with rubber nuggets inside, combining toughness for energy transfer and dampening properties for impact absorption.
      Â
Base
      Â
   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.
      Â
      Â
   Fine Stone Finish–        Fine stone finish helps speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
      Â
Edges
      Â
   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.
      Â
Additional Features
      Â
   30% Bio-based Resin–        High performance with low environmental impact, this bio-based resin is made with 30% of its molecularstructure derived from plants.

-    Terrain:    All-Mountain, Freeride, Powder                                    All-MountainAll-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.                    FreerideFreeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction.                    PowderPowder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider’s stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.           Â
