2027 Salomon Snowboard with Salomon Boots and Bindings

Confidence comes faster on a board that gives something back, which is what the Salomon Lotus package is set up to do. This women's directional twin is soft enough to bend at the speeds a new rider actually travels, and it behaves the same way in both directions so there's no wrong way to point it. The profile runs flat underfoot for balance and picks up camber toward the ends for a little life, while detuned contact points keep the edges from grabbing. It's a first setup that makes the early days feel like progress. [binding KD overview] [boot PKG overview]

Who it's for:

Women and girls learning to snowboard, plus returning riders who want something relaxed for resort cruising. The soft flex favors lighter riders, and the forgiving shape means the board never asks for more technique than the rider has.

Things to consider:

This board is tuned for progression, so it will feel soft and a little vague once a rider is carving hard or moving into faster terrain. The extruded base runs slower than a sintered one and benefits from regular wax. Worth noting too that the Lotus comes in a regular width only, so riders with larger boots should check their overhang.

Fit & sizing considerations:

There's nothing unusual to account for in Lotus sizing, so height and weight decide it. Newer riders are generally better served at the shorter end of their range, where the board pivots easily and asks less of them, while extra length pays off in stability once speed becomes comfortable.
