Salomon’s Assassin Snowboard brings an element of visual appeal to Salomon’s 2024 lineup. Though the Assassin is far more than just its looks, it seems necessary to highlight how stunning this board truly is. Looks aside, the Assassin remains a no-nonsense snowboard with a no-frills build that truly performs as it good as it appears. The directional twin shape that emerges as a result of the Assassin’s all-mountain pedigree matches with a setback stance and Salomon’s Rock Out Camber profile to create the ultimate blend of all-mountain and freestyle attributes. It rips on harder snow but continues to move effortlessly through the deep stuff—allowing a wide range of snowboarders to feel the Assassin’s true breadth.

Built to ride anything, anywhere, at any time, the Assassin has no non-believers. Its cross-functional performance acts as a bridge between all-mountain, powder, and freestyle and serves to accommodate pretty much any style of snowboarding. This particular Assassin model remains strategically tailored to intermediate snowboarders seeking a softer, more intuitive ride from park to powder. Its “Pro” counterpart sports a stiffer flex that many advanced and expert riders will seek out separately. As far as this version goes, it’s hard to go wrong. Poppy, playful, quirky, pretty, and oh-so fun, the Assassin leaves little left to be desired.
