2025 Arbor Westmark Snowboard
The AR Westmark is a high-performance park-oriented board that not only rips in the park but is a lot of fun off trail through glades. The softer flex and shape profile make it catch free and easy to maneuver. Whether you are lapping the park or just looking to explore the whole mountain this is a great option for riders who are looking to have fun without having to work so hard.
Why we like it:
The twin shape and Flip Tips make this board a great option for the park and make it easy to do nose and tail presses. The full rocker profile makes this board easy to ride off trail through trees or moguls while the Grip tech provides some added grip to make up for the lack of camber. This shape profile makes it a lot of fun in deep snow as well.
Who it's for:
Although this board is geared more towards intermediate to advanced riders it would still be a good option for a beginner rider looking to advance. Not the best option for carving on east coast groomers with all the rocker but a lot of fun in all other conditions.
Highlights:
The gradually rockered tip and tail make nose and tail presses as easy as riding flat. Added grip tech contact points add some extra grip which makes up for the lack of camber. The Highland II core made up of Poplar and Paulownia make for a lighter more responsive ride without sacrificing stability. Twin shaping makes it easy to ride switch or regular and the full rocker profile helps provide a more catch free ride.
Things to consider:
The fully rockered profile makes this board feel a little surfier which helps with maneuverability, but you will sacrifice a bit of stability and edge hold when riding at higher speeds on harder packed groomed trails. The more centered reference point makes riding switch easier, but you would probably want to set the stance back when riding in deep snow.
Fit & sizing considerations:
The full rocker profile makes this board ride a little short so you could size up if you were looking for more stability or float.
