Expert verdict

The Nitro Prime Raw Snowboard is a fantastic choice for beginners eager to progress quickly without feeling held back. Its Flat-Out Rocker profile offers a forgiving ride, making it easier to learn new tricks and build confidence on the slopes. The board's durability, thanks to Nitro's Powercore, ensures it will last through many seasons of fun. This is one of those boards that any rider can get on and progress very quickly. I find it to be a juggernaut for the beginner to intermediate-level rider looking to advance quickly and not worry about their gear holding them back. It's one of those approachable options for any rider looking to take on the entire mountain. While not the best option for powder and more advanced riders, it gets the job done for those looking to advance their skills and ride a bit of everything!

The Prime is built for riders who want to skip through the basics and get after it on a board that will progress with them yearly.

My boyfriend and I got my best friend a Nitro Prime a couple years back when he was just starting out and it was perfect. The flat to rocker profile makes it super easy to turn, press and also very forgiving on icy terrain. The downside of the flat to rocker profile is the lack of energy, so it becomes... Read more

Great Beginner Board

Posted on Dec 27, 2023
Got this for my teenage son. He has been out with me 6-7 times, and this is his first owned deck. He wanted something he could continue to learn on but not grow out of too fast. He has one day on it so far. Matched with rambler bindings and DC phase boots. They all seem to be balance well. It is fairly catch free. Has good pop, and generally enhanced his confidence. The only small gripe (and I mean small) is the top sheet has a softer/matte finish. Snow does stick to it more than glossy finishes. Sprayed it with rain-x for the next trip out.

Luke was VERY patient helping me for over a year!!

We started looking at a new ski set starting last year and here we are a year later and I have my gear on the way. Luke was able to guide me through sizing new boots, answer all my questions, and recommend just what I needed. Finally going to be back on my own skis this year, sooo excited! Thanks Luke

5 /5
Spencer was so helpful and kind to me. As a first time rider I was very nervous about getting the right gear that would fit me and be good for me as a beginner. Without hesitation Spencer has sent me a curated list that I completely loved and agreed with. All of his recommendations fit my criteria perfectly and when I asked for some else or something different he got it to me within a matter of seconds. I would recommend Spencer to literally anyone. Fast, knowledgeable, and kind. Absolutely loved him and makes me want to get out there even more!! 100/10

I have been conversing with Ken for over a year he would curate me a set up and I’d just ghost him. Well today I finally made the purchase and I feel confident he helped me choose the correct set up for my specific needs, and challenges. Plus he always recommended cost effective choices without the helmet my set up would have been under $600 which is killer because I got suckered into a blemed demo board 2 yrs ago that I paid $550 for just the board. Thank you Ken! I should be a pro soon if not it’s his fault! ;)

Really appreciated Taylor's willingness to listen and learn my ride style/life style to recommend a board that would suit me for this season of life. I've ridden rental boards for years and it was time to commit to my own rig. He had first hand experience on many of the boards I was considering and every bit of advice helped steer me into what I think will be the best board for me. Stoked for it to arrive and get it out on the mountain! Thanks for everything, Taylor!

This is my first board purchase and I had done a lot of research but making the final decision was daunting. Scott was super helpful, understood what would work for my skill level, and I'm suuuuper excited about what I ended up getting. It wasn't what I had in my cart initially but he gave great recommendations with lots of options. Can't wait to get on the mountain!!
