Salomon HPS – Louif Paradis

The Salomon HPS (Hillside Project) – Louif Paradis is a premium all-mountain and freeride snowboard built for advanced to expert riders. Developed in collaboration with legendary snowboarder Louif Paradis and renowned snowboard shaper Wolle Nyvelt, it combines exceptional powder performance with the versatility and creativity needed for freestyle-inspired riding.

Key Features & Technology

Shape
The tapered directional shape, with a setback stance, delivers outstanding float in deep powder while maintaining a long enough nose and tail for confident switch takeoffs and landings. Recent models feature a directional twin-inspired design for even greater all-mountain versatility.

Profile
Salomon's Rock Out Camber profile combines flat sections between the bindings for stability, camber underfoot for powerful pop and precise edge control, and rocker in the tip and tail for enhanced float, easier presses, and improved maneuverability.

Core
The lightweight Ghost Green Core, paired with Popster profiling, maximizes energy transfer and responsiveness while reducing swing weight for a lively, agile feel.

Construction
The innovative ABC Wrapper replaces traditional fiberglass with natural bamboo and flax fibers, creating a more sustainable construction without sacrificing performance. Bamboo + Cork Rails further enhance the ride by absorbing vibrations, resulting in a smoother, quieter, and more responsive feel across varied terrain.
