Salomon Highpath Snowboard Review 2027 | What's Good?
Salomon Highpath Snowboard Basics
The Salomon Highpath is a tapered, directional all-mountain board in the big-mountain-focused Horizon line. For 26/27, Salomon redesigned the shape and flex pattern of the Highpath to better align with the need for freeride-friendly boards that excel on piste and off-piste. The updated flex pattern stiffens the board up from previous iterations, providing more stability across mountain environments. Constructed in Salomon's signature Rock Out Camber, the Highpath is flat camber between your feet for stability, with camber underfoot for response, and a slight rocker on the nose and tail for freestyle viability. This board is offered in a wide range of sizes (147 - 165W) for all genders, and is equally capable ripping around the resort as it is deep in the backcountry. Additionally, this board is proudly constructed with recycled and bio-sourced materials.
