The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

This is a great board for advanced boarders. This board crushes it off-piste in the trees on powder days. Even on the spring groomer days the Snowtrooper is playful and fun to ride. The floatation on this board is amazing. The front of the board wants to lift even in deep snow which helps you power through the deeper powder and not get stuck in the flats. This season in Lake Tahoe we had the most snow in 53 years. With so many powder days I got to board some terrain that is rarely hit. One day this season I was hitting a fresh lap in a double black chute while it was almost white out snowing and when I came back for a second lap I could not even tell I had just been there. Being in the trees with all the snow falling around me was such a great feeling. I had no worries of getting stuck or not being able to handle the deep powder we were getting (1-3 ft).

Ideal for
  • All mountain
  • Best for deep powder days on steeper terrain
  • Best enjoyed off piste with carving opportunities
Not ideal for
  • The durability of the topsheet could be slightly better. Starting to chip

The Snowtrooper by Never Summer is an all mountain board that's designed to be a do-it-all snowboard for any riders' style. Original rocker camber profile gives this board a playful feeling with the ability to carve deep S-turns all over the hill. Best suited for the riders with intermediate to advanced riding abilities, and comes in wider widths for those with bigger boots.

Key Features:

  • Directional Shaped Board – Designed with a classic directional shape, this board is slightly wider at the nose, and tapers at the tail; Which helps keep the nose up and floating through powder easily, with the ability to turn on a dime.
  • Medium Flex Rating – This board has a medium flex rating (5) for versatility. A perfect blend of stiff and soft to charge the steep powder lines, and deep presses on boxes or rails.
  • Fully-Wrapped Metal Edges – To add durability and rigidity to the deck, this board is built with fully-wrapped metal edges.

Definitely love to use this board for teaching, it's flexibility and ease of turn initiation makes it wonderful for demonstrating techniques to new riders. I also like to use it for powder days because it's slightly directional which is super nice, rides switch pretty great when you have it set up right though. Definitely recommend this board to anyone who... Read more
Ideal for
  • Great for the rider looking for some pow turns with an all mountain focus
  • Good for doing butters due to flexibility.
  • Great for beginner to intermediate riders looking for a do everything board.
Not ideal for
  • Not super great edge hold for carving.
  • I have big feet so definitely had to order a wide and it still wasn't big enough.
  • Not stiff enough for advanced riders that want more performance out of their boards.

What is the value for the money versus other options?

Id say versus other options like the Jones Flagship this is a good comparison. Both have similar price points but based on the performance from the Snowtrooper you get what you pay for. Definitely no buyer's regret. For the edge hold, stability at high speed and the flotation I would expect a higher price.

Why did you choose this product?

What drew me to the Snowtrooper was the stiffness and ability to handle challenging terrain while also being able to ride powder and the deep snow. In the Sierras the off-piste areas are the most fun so having a board that candle handle the terrain is important. When I occasionally take it on groomers I have no complaints, but the board wants to be ridden in the fun deep, face blasting powder.

What was your favorite moment with this gear?

My favorite moment with this board was in the spring during a storm, when I found a section at Palisades where the lift was just opened on a powder day and the snow was so deep that it felt like surfing but on snow. The board handled so well, and I made it way farther through the powder than my friends. I was able to get fresh tracks all morning. From the top to the bottom this board brought a smile to my face.

Best board for all mountain riding

Originally posted at neversummer.com on Apr 27, 2023
This is the best board for all mountain riding I’ve ever rode. The thing I like about it is that if you get yourself into some powder conditions, you’re not gonna sink but it’s still swollen agile enough on Hard pack days you’re not struggling to turn it. The only thing I do not like about it is that the rocker in it does make it a little unstable on cat tracks. Also, as you can tell by the photo it’s been beat up quite a bit but all it takes is washing it and it looks brand new besides the chips. Also, the base is super durable. I smacked several rocks on it.

I’ve rented and demo’d Snowtrooper’s since 2017 and have wanted one ever since. I rented this board in Vail last week and I finally broke down and just bought mine today. I absolutely love this board!

Very Helpful and Knowledgeable

I had many questions, and after a few days we finally got stuff figured out. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful and knowledgeable which is defiantly better then going to facebook marketplace. I tried that, but the information from an expert just helps much more. I would defiantly recommend Ryan to other customers.

I very much enjoyed working with Leo on my ski purchase. I had done some research on my own but had not settled on a particular ski. I came across Curated by accident and did not know I would be connected to a live person - and someone who is quite knowledgeable as well! Leo listened to what I was looking for and put together some recommendations personalized for me. I was able to review these on my own schedule and later discuss my questions with Leo to finalize my selection. I’ll definitely recommend Leo and Curated to friends and will be back for my next pair of skis!

I was skeptical about buying ski gear online, but with Michael's expertise and input it worked out great. No only is Michael super knowledgeable, but he really took the time to understand our requirements and match us with the right gear. Never any pressure, always patient, helpful, and super responsive. I would definitely recommend working with him.

Frankie is A1, top notch and his ratings and reviews speaks for itself. I went to 3 different ski shops in my area and I was sized wrong, told certain brands were high quality when they weren’t, would have been paying to much and just put on a bad path overall. I’m glad I stumbled upon Curated. I threw so many questions at Frankie and he welcomed and answered them all. I needed a new board, boots and bindings and I got a great deal. Got a 2024 Libtech Coldbrew with Now IPO Bindings and 32 boots for less than my local ski shops offered for Never Summer, K2, etc., packages. I can’t wait to get on the mountain! Thanks again Frankie!

I was very nervous about buying my first pair of skis as they can be quite expensive and you want to get them right, however, as soon as I found curated and was paired with Hayden all the nervousness turned into pure excitement. Hayden took the time to explain, answer questions, and pick the perfect curation for me. It made choosing skis a fun process rather than a stressful one. I highly recommend Hayden and I can't wait to hit the slopes with my new skis!
