Salomon Assassin snowboard handles park laps and powder days
The Salomon Assassin snowboard pairs a directional twin shape with Rock Out Camber, a profile that stays flat and stable underfoot, cambers under the feet for response, and rockers up at the nose and tail for easy pressing. That combination lets the board hold an edge on firm snow and stay pressable in the trees, without asking the rider to choose one terrain over another.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I hit the same lap from a park rail into an untouched line through the trees without switching boards. The pop off the tail landing came from the Bamboo Rods built into the core, not stiffness that would have fought me picking through the trees."

Alpine Roots, Endless Horizons
Salomon was born in the French Alps and has spent decades redefining winter performance, engineering skis, boards, boots, and bindings that help skiers and riders push their limits and reimagine what’s possible on snow.
Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This snowboard is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the board ships, so it arrives ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works
Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every board in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so it arrives ready to ride with no setup required.
Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.
No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose a size and bindings for the Salomon Assassin 2027?
Choose a board size based on your weight, boot size, and preferred feel: sizing down favors maneuverability and park laps, while sizing up favors stability and float. Match the waist width to your boots to limit toe and heel drag; the 158W and 163W are the wide options, and the board works with conventional snowboard bindings.Where does the Salomon Assassin 2027 perform best?
Its medium flex and Rock Out Camber suit groomers, mixed resort terrain, side hits, and park features, with enough versatility for moderate powder. Rocker at the tips helps with turn initiation and float, while camber near the feet supports grip and pop.How does the Salomon Assassin compare with more specialized all-mountain boards?
The directional-twin shape and medium flex balance freestyle handling with all-mountain stability, making it a versatile choice across resort terrain. It is less specialized than a dedicated powder or carving board, so it makes more sense when you want one board for varied conditions.How should I set up the Salomon Assassin for all-mountain and freestyle riding?
Use compatible conventional snowboard bindings and set your stance to suit your riding style. The centered stance and directional-twin shape support switch riding; a medium-flex binding and boot setup keeps the overall feel balanced.How should I care for the Salomon Assassin’s base and edges?
Wax the sintered base regularly, especially after riding on dry or abrasive snow, and dry the board around the bindings, inserts, and edges after each day. Repair deep base scratches and maintain the edge bevel; for off-season storage, clean and dry the board, then apply a storage coat of wax.
