Why We Like The Ultralight Snowboard

The Ultralight Snowboard is our top pick for freeriders who want to conquer the most challenging terrain. It offers unmatched responsiveness and precision while being incredibly lightweight, delivering mind-blowing performance on the biggest mountains.

To achieve its unbeatable lightness, Nidecker has incorporated several innovative features. The 3DN outline, tri-blend wood core, and material-reducing Freeflex 3.0 work together to shed grams from every angle. The board also utilizes advanced carbon technology for added weight reduction. The Carbonid topsheet ensures razor-like precision in exposed terrain, while the carbon stringers enhance liveliness. The nano carbon-infused N-9000 sintered base allows riders to charge full-throttle on any surface.

Nidecker's Freeride Camrock profiling is another standout feature of this board. It provides excellent torsional flexibility without sacrificing stiffness and stability, resulting in superior control and steering, even at high speeds. The directional shape and setback stance keep us afloat in powder, and the additional set of inserts further back allows for even deeper powder days.
