The Board Deals Worth Checking Out

Outstanding Deal on the Lib Tech Orca

Lib Tech Orca Snowboard 2024 (On Sale)

The Lib Tech Orca is one of the best selling snowboards on the Lib Tech line. It’s also one of the boards that earned the highest rating in its review on this site. The Orca is a volume shifted, powder ready board. That means it runs wider than most traditional snowboards. This board is intended for you to ride 3cm shorter than your usual board.

The wider profile is what makes this board so versatile to float in powder while still being able to use it as your all mountain board.

The Orca has Lib Tech’s C2X board profile. It looks like this when you look at it from the side.

This profile has reverse camber between the feet and camber in tail and nose.

The Lib Tech Orca Snowboard has a two and a half inch set back stance (you stand further back on this version). The longer nose helps the board float better in deeper snow.

If you are looking for a responsive snowboard that can handle all conditions and float beautifully in powder, then this board is for you.

Ride Warpig Snowboard 2024

Our Rating: 4.24 / 5

Full Review: Ride Warpig Review

Pros

• It is versatile enough to go anywhere at the resort
• Floats in powder and works well in the park
• Fun to ride
• Lightweight
• Perfect for butters and presses
• Stable for landing jumps

Cons

• Its wider nose chatters at higher speed

Sizes Available: 142, 148, 151, 154, 158

Flex: Medium 4.5/10 in the Nose and 5.5/10 in the Tail

Bindings to Pair With It: Ride C-6 Bindings

Christy Sports has a few Ride Warpig’s left for $330. This board usually is around $550, so that’s a really great deal for a board that can do it all so well

The key to the Warpig’s versatility is in its unconventional shape. It’s built on a volume-shifted (shorter and wider) tapered directional shape with a sentered stance. This means the Warpig is wider than the average all-mountain board in the same length, and it has a dedicated nose that is 10mm wider than its tail. While most tapered directional boards would set the mounting holes back closer to the tail, the Warpig doesn’t. The rider stands centred on top of a predominately flat, playful profile similar to an all-mountain twin snowboard. Altogether, the Warpig essentially has the shape of a powder board with the stance and profile of a freestyle board.  

For me, the Warpig shines as an all-mountain freestyle board. I found the Warpig to feel really playful underfoot. While it is an all-mountain board ready to carve all over the resort, its flat profile between your feet gives it a skate-like feel that just begs you to take it through the park. It has a very soft-feeling, pressable nose that is perfect for jibbing and buttering across every feature in sight. Additionally, the board excels at hitting jumps. With the board being volume-shifted, it feels more nimble in the air (due to it being shorter, it is easier to spin), while the wider platform makes it feel stable and easy to land on. It’s like a lightweight tank that can ride away from just about any off-axis trick. 

The Warpig is perfect for riders who just want a fun board to cruise all over the resort on groomers or in powder, too. The main downside to the Warpig is that if you tend to charge aggressively, this may not be the board for you. While going really fast on rougher terrain, the softer nose will chatter, passing vibrations up through your legs. If you like the sound of this board’s versatility and need a board more suited to riding fast, check out the Ride Superpig, too. It’s a stiffer version of this board, and it is built to charge.

If you’re looking for an incredibly fun all-mountain board to ride in powder, cruise groomers, and hit the park, check out the Ride Warpig. 

Pro Tip: There’s also a few alternate sizes available in the 2024 Warpig on sale here.

This is Only $211

Never Summer Proto Ultra

The Never Summer Proto Ultra is the supercharged version of the Never Summer Proto Synthesis. This is the version of the Proto series designed by team rider Chris Corning.

Never Summer added in the the Shock Wave Rocker Camber profile. It looks like this.

The profile can be described as having reverse camber between the feet, a camber profile under your feet, a small flat transitional area, and then reverse camber again in the tip and tail.

One carbon insert is in the center between your feet to add stability.

Best Deal on a Beginner-Friendly Snowboard

Arbor Element Rocker

Last season’s Arbor Element Rocker is on sale for a steal of a price for Black Friday weekend. The Element Rocker is a directional twin all-mountain snowboard that’s very beginner-friendly to ride with some technology built into its edges, making it have a phenomenal level of edge hold on ice. If you’re looking for a great deal on your first board, this is it.

Here is an overview video of the parabolic rocker Arbor uses in this board.

Pros

• Versatile – one board to do it all / all rounder
• Easy to learn on – Raised contact points for a more forgiving ride
• Its directional shape to help it float in deeper snow
• Phenomenal edge hold on ice and rougher conditions

Sizes Available: 157, 159, 161, 166 Mid Wide

Best Deal for a Jib Board

Rome Artifact Snowboard

The Rome Artifact is a true twin freestyle snowboard with a softer, four out of ten pressable softer flex. This board is on sale for less than $315 for last season’s model. That’s nuts!

The artifact is perfect for jibbing, hitting small to medium jumps, and holding butters while still being insanely durable. Rome says the Artifact was created for “total park annihilation,” and they made good on that promise.

The Artifact’s shape is a true twin with a positive camber board profile. What makes the 2024 Rome Artifact unique is its new “double kick” nose and tail. There are two angles in both the nose and tail that look like this.

The benefit is the new shape makes the board more pressable than most other camber decks. Having the positive camber profile gives this board additional pop and stability to hit massive jumps.

The core of the snowboard was made with 100% poplar wood. There are bamboo hot rods running from the board’s center through the nose and tail, which give the board additional pop. To increase the board’s torsional flex, Rome used a Biax fiberglass set on two different axes.

The Artifact has additional impact plates to reduce chatter, add shock absorption, and make this deck durable. When boards break, it is usually right in front or behind one of your bindings. That is where these impact plates are placed. Rome focused on making the deck durable in the areas that take the most impact while you are stomping your landings.

The base of the deck was upgraded to an ISOSPORT 4400 base for the 2024 season. This is primarily an extruded base, so it is durable, holds wax well, and will not require a lot of maintenance.

If you are looking for a camber park snowboard that can press and jib incredibly well, this is the deck to get.

Pros

• Pressable Positive Camber Profile
• Double Kick Nose and Tail
• Durable – has added impact plates

Cons

• Not the fastest base

Sizes Available: 147, 150, 152 Wide, 153, 155 Wide, 156

Flex: Softer Side of Medium 4/10

Bindings to Pair With It: Rome Vice

Best Park Snowboard Deal

Capita Ultrafear 2024 Snowboard

The Capita Ultrafear is one of those twin shape freestyle snowboards that can do it all even though it is typically a park snowboard. This is the board I rode all season, and I loved every second of it. You can read my Capita Ultrafear review to learn more. This snowboard deck is highly resilient. The Ultrafear will hold up to all of the demands of hitting rails in the street or park riding.

For 2023, this snowboard was updated to feature the Resort V1 board profile. This is a fairly large change from last year’s Ultrafear with the Park V2 profile. Here is an image showing the difference, with this year’s profile on the top and last year’s on the bottom.

The board profile now has a positive camber between your feet, flat under your feet, with a slight reverse camber (rocker) right before the tip and tail. In previous years the board was primarily flat between your feet, and now there is some camber to give it more pop.

Basically, the Ultrafear is now likely a slightly wider DOA (Capita’s best selling all-mountain board).

So how does the Ultrafear feel now that it has a camber profile?

The 2023 Capita Ultrafear has managed to retain its flexible and snappy nature. As opposed to last year’s Kevlar body armor, Capita has added in the Carbon Aramid Body Armor to the 2023 version. This better protects the contact points while increasing the responsiveness of the board. Capita also managed to decrease the vibration you would feel riding this by adding more cork into the edges.

The 2023 Ultrafear’s change to the V1 resort profile has not decreased its jib friendliness. It compliments it. The profiles’ flatter “WAH-POW” nose/tail shape, a press is easy to initiate presses and butters. At the same time, the camber section between the bindings adds to the board’s pop and response.

The new profile has improved the snowboard’s ability to launch off jumps too. The camber and carbon added in will boost you while the flatter nose and tail make your landings catch-free.

The wood core of this board was also upgraded for 2023. Now it is called the Dual Blaster V2 Core. The core features a combination of poplar and Paulownia wood. The combination makes this an incredibly light, durable board with a predictable feel. The perimeter of this board is incredibly durable thanks to its Carbon Aramid Body Armor™. If you accidentally hit your nose or tail on a feature in the terrain park, this board was specifically designed to take the impact where most other snowboards would chip or crack. Capita also added cork near the edges of this deck. The added cork helps give the Ultrafear absorb the chatter of rough terrain and make the impact of jumps feel softer. The Ultrafear features a fast and durable sintered base.

Overall, the Ultrafear is the perfect freestyle snowboard for beginner to advanced park riders who want a durable, playful, and fast deck.

Tips I Use for Finding The Best Deals on Snowboards

1. Use the snowboard length calculator to learn the size snowboard you need.
2. Check out the discount or sale pages from the snowboard stores online. Here are my favorites The House’s snowboard outlet page here, Evo’s page where they show all their discounted snowboards here, or Backcountry’s “on sale” page filtered specifically to snowboards here.
3. Find a board that matches your size, and is the right type of snowboard for the type of riding you will do. In other words, you won’t want to take a stiff freeride snowboard into the terrain park or vice versa.
