Winter Fun

There are some snowboard companies that like to push the “we are a cool company” line, trying to take advantage of the fact that certain boards are perceived to be more cool than others. This may come down to the design of the graphics on the board which appeals to a certain section of the market.

This is not the case for the Palmer Snowboard Company which has made an impressive name for itself as an innovator in the snowboard industry. The word is well and truly passed around to those in the know that Palmer snowboards epitomise quality. Although the company specialises in all-mountain snowboards you can also be assured of quality freestyle snowboards too.

Part of the reason the Palmer boards are so popular are the bases that provide tremendous speed and great edge hold with smooth sidecuts. The snowboards are also extremely durable despite the fact that they are lightweight in construction. You can put that down to the revolutionary Nomex honeycomb core.

One of the indications that Palmer is more focused on the performance of their boards rather than the way out look to get them sales is to simply take a look at the boards themselves. There is nothing flashy in the way the snowboards are presented. Muted colors with the brand logo sitting squarely in the centre of the deck is about as showy as it gets.

Palmer snowboards are the all-mountain snowboards that the serious snowboard rider will move heaven and earth to get hold of. They’re made to go fast and they’re made to withstand the rigors of the inevitable heavy knocks that come from going fast.

The bottom line is that you will not be disappointed with a Palmer all-mountain snowboard. Or at least, it’s very unlikely because Palmer has one of the lowest return rates of any brand of snowboard.
