The Palmer Crown LE Snowboard is the Ferrari of all-mountain riding. Four titanium inlays and four carbon fiber strips work together to give intermediate to advanced all-mountain riders effortless high-speed response and control. Palmer updated this year's directional Crown LE with the FLF (Feels Like Flying) Klothoid shape, which uses variable sidecut radii to transfer power to the edges, meaning more edge hold in any conditions, more control at high speeds, and more acceleration. Super-strong Nomex honeycomb in the tip and tail reduces swing weight, while Cap Sidewall Construction increases strength for multi-season durability. A 7200 graphite race base delivers sinister top-end speeds and is ready to ride right out of the box thanks to its stone-ground finish and factory wax.

Bottom Line: The Crown LE Snowboard—unreal response and incredible speed for the all-mountain dominator.

Cracking board but the Crown is lost...

By: Daniel Beach

I'm on my second Crown and third season of big-mountain dedication to the beautiful Palmer powder partner. I'd have given it five stars above were it not for a recent discovery that renders the Crown obsolete. Oh, and because any board without steel all the way around is clearly one idiot short of a village. The Crown is great in the park, carving the piste and most certainly when out deep and steep. It's forgiving yet responsive. It really connects. However... only buy a Crown if you get an amazing deal (like here) and you can't get your hands on a Bataleon Undisputed (also, for now, like here). The Undisputed is on a whole new level of big mountain joy delivery. If you want a long, fast, floaty all-mountain, composite extension of your mind - you need look no further than the white god that is the Undisputed. Not as pretty as the Palmer, but that's where the shortcomings end.
