There is something about Arbor’s boards that gives their users instant mountain-cred. The earthy, wooden colours look like they belong in a grainy ‘70s surf movie, but those in the know are well aware of what a good deck it is you’re clutching. The maple, walnut and palisander top sheet is almost a homage to snowboarding’s surfing roots. But Arbor don’t forget technology, and provide carbon fibre inlays that offer some flex for pop in the pow and pack a super-stable ride that holds an edge with ease. The powerhouse tail not only floats through the deeps, it gives you a solid landing pad allowing you to stomp the biggest airs with ease. Available in sizes ranging from 154cm to 170cm, you’ll be wanting the 170cm if you’re going to get real respect in Niseko. Available from Moroaki Sports Sapporo. Call 011-671-6970. RRP: ¥85,000
