Product Info
There’s nothing else in snowboarding like the Salmon Powder Snake. Salomon’s best selling park board – built for the backcountry. This park board is packed with Popster core, sintered base, and a Tapered Twin shape with Pow Rocker profile; the next time it gets deep, give your rail board a rest, and be amazed.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Pow Rocker has a flat profile between the bindings for stability with more rocker on tip & tail for playfullness and floatation.
Flex
Flex rating: 4 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff) This board is has just the right flex to be playful in the park and in pow, while still maintaining its stability. Tapered Twin Shape has a centered stance within the effective edge while the tail is pulled in slightly to help with floatation.
Construction and Core
Popster shaped core profile maximizes the natural snap and powerful pop of wood for ollie power.
BA MD construction is medium density European-made fiberglass layers that guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
Aspen strong core is made from CNC-selected high-density FSC certified wood strips for the inserts and rail zones resulting in improved impact resistance and a predictable flex from opening day to spring slush.
Shape
Quadric sidecut is a blend of elliptic curves for easy turn initiation, effortless direction changes and fluid edge to edge transitions.
Sidewalls, Edges and Base
Sintered base provides a moderate balance between the speed created by a hard surface and good wax retention.
ABS sidewalls
Factory finish on edges, featuring a standard stone finish

Terrain:
Freestyle, Powder

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard. Powder Powder 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.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Flat/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Flat/Rocker Rocker/Flat/Rocker is another variation on the rocker theme that seeks to provide a little more hard snow edgehold and pop than full rocker while retaining ease of turning and float. Performance is between a fully rockered board and a flat board.

Flex Rating:
Medium
More
Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
