25/26 season review
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.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
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.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Slightly stiffer than last year's model, but not extremely hard. It has a powerful flex that fully supports jump launches and landing stability.

Intermediate · Advanced
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.
