Expert reviews 1
The Salomon Wonder is an all-mountain board combining hybrid camber with a directional twin, with a clear leaning toward carving and park. Hardpack edge hold and pop are its strengths and it works well in the pipe too, but it's weak in powder and rough snow and unforgiving of skidding. It's a good-value choice for intermediates and above who have moved beyond beginner level and want to take on carving and park seriously.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A camber-based hybrid with a directional twin shape and 10mm setback laid on top. It gives a somewhat locked-in feel with clear pop and carving bias, and with little rocker at the tips, powder float is limited.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex. There's ample pop for park kickers and response in the pipe is good. It isn't on the forgiving side, though, so pushing turns can catch an edge.
Where it shines
Who it suits
It fits intermediates and up who have just moved past beginner and want to take carving and park seriously. It isn't forgiving of skidded turns, so it's demanding for beginners.
Good
- ✓Excellent edge hold on firm snow
- ✓Fast turn entry with good carving performance (carving 4/5)
- ✓Strong pop for park jumps with good pipe response (pipe 4/5)
- ✓At $449, the price-to-performance is good
Not so good
- —Unforgiving of riders who push turns around — the edge can catch
- —Powder float is unremarkable (2.5/5)
- —Weak on bumpy, rutted snow (2/5)
