Expert reviews 1
The Salomon Highpath is an eco-conscious high-performance deck for intermediate and advanced riders wanting to enjoy freeride and freestyle at once. A tapered directional shape and a flat-camber-rocker profile provide powder float and all-mountain responsiveness in balance, and a basalt-blended fibreglass layer strengthens pop and carving power. It's an outstanding choice for riders who want to enjoy the backcountry like a park.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A Flat Camber Rocker profile: camber rises through the centre between the feet for power and stability, while the nose and tail tips are rockered to support catch-free, floating riding.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Slightly stiffer than last year's model, but not extremely hard. It has a powerful flex that fully supports jump launches and landing stability.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A board for intermediate to advanced riders, suiting those with a freeride bent who also enjoy freestyle elements. It's a rather challenging board for beginners.
Good
- ✓A tapered directional shape and swallowtail provide excellent float in powder
- ✓High-performance build on eco-friendly materials including an FSC-certified core, a Box MD fibreglass plus basalt blend layer and 30% bio-resin
- ✓Stiffer plates outboard of the feet secure extra stability with excellent carving edge grip
- ✓Basalt-blended glass provides light weight, improved durability and better spring feel and pop
Not so good
- —Unsuitable for beginners, making it hard to use as an entry board
- —A stiffer flex than the previous year's model can be somewhat demanding for riders who prefer a soft flex
