The 2025 Ride War Pig with Rossignol Battle Bindings is a versatile all-mountain setup that shines in both deep powder and the park. Its surfy, tapered directional shape provides excellent stability and maneuverability, making it just as comfortable riding switch as it is regular. Despite its shorter tapered tail, the War Pig excels in various conditions, from navigating tight east coast trees to ripping through powder-filled bowls on the west coast. [binding K overview]

Why we like it:

The War Pig offers impressive maneuverability and easy turn initiation, making it suitable for beginners working on edge transitions or advanced riders exploring glades. Its standout feature is its deep snow capability; the tapered directional shape and added tip rocker make it exceptionally fun on powder days.

Who it's for:

The War Pig is accessible to a broad range of riders. Beginners will appreciate its catch-free shape and easy turning, while more experienced riders will value the added stability and impact absorption provided by the double impact plates and carbon stringers.

Highlights:

The board’s zero camber profile and tapered shape contribute to a catch-free, maneuverable ride with superior float in deep snow. The 3 Carbon Array stringers running diagonally across the mount points enhance stability at speed and improve edge hold on harder packed conditions. Additionally, the double impact plates under the bindings offer extra shock absorption for big jumps and rough terrain. The One Shot Strap on the Battle bindings provide exceptional stability both laterally and vertically transferring energy quicker and more efficiently. EVA footbeds help reduce chatter to create a smoother, damper ride in any conditions. The Mainframe Highbacks have a rigid center frame with softer sides to give you the best combination of stability and comfort without sacrificing weight.

Things to consider:

The War Pig's lack of camber means it doesn’t offer the grip and pop associated with cambered boards, so those seeking those attributes may need to look elsewhere. Although the board’s moderate flex and rockered shape are manageable for beginners, heavier or more aggressive riders might consider sizing up for added stability.

Fit & sizing considerations:

As a volume shift board, the War Pig should be downsized by 3-5 centimeters to match its intended design.
