Product Info
This board was made at The Mothership in Austria in the most environmentally sound snowboard manufacturing process on the planet. Reclaimed, recycled, recyclable. Knowing this takes the edge off completely decimating everything you come across on the mountain: sleep easy knowing your board was only responsible for the destruction of snow features, not the planet. The Niche Aether Snowboard is an all-terrain ruler for those who are invested in the future.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Multi-Camber – A camber medley which gives you the pop and edge control of regular camber with the float of reverse camber. Reverse camber between your feet and camber zones extending to the contact points for a super loose, catch-free feel.
Flex
Flex Rating – 6 - Mid-stiff flex is powerful, snappy and stable. Directional twin flex pattern.
Shape
Directional Twin – From powder to groomers to park laps, this is a do-it-all shape with no weaknesses.
Core
Sustainable Wood Core – A combination of paulownia, poplar, and bamboo.
Laminates
Basalt Stringers – Similar vibration dampening and pop characteristics to carbon fiber, but much more eco-friendly.
Snappy Sap™ Bio-Resin – More elastic and snappier than normal resin, it dampens vibrations and has extremely high adhesion properties to help keep your board from delaminating
Sidewalls
Recycled ABS Sidewalls
Base
Recycled Sintered Base – Fast, strong, and smooth - like a good whiskey.
Edges
Recycled Steel Edges
Magne-Traction® | 7 Bumps – Extra edge contact points give your board more edge control and stability, especially in icy conditions. Working like the serrated edges of a knife, it fixes the "squirrely" feel that can come from reverse camber.
Topsheet
Digi-Print Topsheet – Direct digital print, lacquer-free, matte finish topsheet.
Graphics
Water-Based Inks – Non-toxic, solvent-free, uv-based inks.
Additional Features
Eco-Friendly Construction – From Snappy Sap™ Bio-Resins to recycled materials to sustainable wood cores, Niche's manufacturing process is the most environmentally friendly on the planet.

All-Mountain, Freeride

Terrain
All-Mountain All-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. Freeride Freeride 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.

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

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:
Camber/Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber/Rocker/Camber Camber/Rocker/Camber is a profile that’s specific to snowboards and which works because the rider’s weight flattens the two cambered areas. This design produces a strong, pressured carving zone between the rider’s feet and retains pop and carving precision at the tip and tail.

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.
